Difference between revisions of "Order of Bondsmiths"

 

Generally speaking powers shared between two orders of Radiants may vary somewhat, but each individual Knight has powers generally similar to those of another member of their order.{{epigraph ref|sa2|35}} However, each Bondsmith has abilities and traits unique to the spren they bond.{{wob ref|13781}} This makes a generalized discussion of the common powers of a Bondsmith more complex than other orders. Some powers may be associated with the Stormfather's Bondsmith alone and are only true following the Splintering of the Shard Honor{{book ref|sa3|57}} and the subsequent alteration of the Stormfather.{{book ref|sa3|113}} Some abilities may only be functional when used in conjunction with a Radiant from another order.{{book ref|sa3|27}} Others may only be accessible because restrictions imposed on Surgebinding by Honor have vanished following the Shard's death.{{book ref|sa4|66}} Each Bondsmith seems to make use of a different variety of Light to fuel their abilities, the Stormfather's Bondsmith uses Stormlight,{{book ref|sa3|119}} the Sibling's [[Towerlight]],{{book ref|sa4|111}} and presumably the Nightwatcher grants her Bondsmith [[Lifelight]]. It is also worth noting that while Bondsmiths may be among the most powerful Radiants, at least in terms of access to quantities of raw Investiture, they generally speaking are not effective in a combat role.{{book ref|sa3|64}} Their powers are more subtle but also wider reaching than those of a Radiant with different Surges.{{wob ref|13781}}
