=== Other abilities ===
Due to Sja-anat’s influence, the bond with Glys also gives Renarin the ability to see visions of the future (which is typically of Odium). These visions are often but not always accurate, and appear as sequences of stained glass panels on the walls or floors, sometimes with numbers or words beneath them. Neither Glys nor Renarin are able to control when these visions strike, although they can capture and replay the visions with some effort.{{book ref|sa3|117}}{{book ref|sa3|120}}{{book ref|sa4|54}}

=== Enlightening ===
Glys was corrupted by [[Sja-anat]] before bonding Renarin, though he does not remember this event very well.{{book ref|sa3|117}} Sja-anat has referred to this process as '''Enlightening'''.{{book ref|sa3|97}}

=== Visions of the Future ===
▲Glys also helps Renarin in discovering the [[Urithiru gem archive|gem archive]] hidden in the library room of Urithiru. Due to their bond Renarin is able to see visions showing him how to find the gemstones hidden in wall compartments, as well as how the compartments could be opened and the gemstones accessed. {{book ref|sa3|117}}

Later in the battle, Renarin
▲During the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], [[Jasnah]] tracks Renarin and Glys down to the Temple of [[Pailiah|Pailiah'Elin]]. This is the first time that Glys is visible to someone other than Renarin. Jasnah and her spren [[Ivory]] are able to verify that his appearance does not match that of a normal Truthwatcher spren, concluding that he had been corrupted.{{book ref|sa3|115}} Renarin, undergoing a fit, is shown visions of what he believes to be the future. Glys fears for their safety, as both of them see a sequence of images showing Jasnah killing Renarin with her Shardblade. During the same fit they see Dalinar giving in to [[Odium]] and kneeling before him. Upon seeing this, Glys expresses his sorrow to Renarin.{{book ref|sa3|117}} Jasnah, however, does not kill Renarin, which brings him to the realisation that the visions he and Glys see can be wrong. {{book ref|sa3|118}}
When Renarin and Glys
▲Later in the battle Renarin helps the [[Thaylen]] [[Shardbearer]] [[Hrdalm]] fight a [[thunderclast]]. After Renarin and Hrdalm subdue it, Glys shows Renarin how to dispel it using Stormlight.{{book ref|sa3|120}}
=== Emuli Offensive ===
▲When Renarin and Glys approach the ramp to [[Thaylen City]]’s [[Oathgate]] to try and open it, a fit strikes him. He and Glys are able to see in the ensuing visions that a division of Kholin troops is about to arrive through the Oathgate, activated by [[Teft]], now a Knight Radiant.{{book ref|sa3|120}}
Around a year later, Renarin and Glys accompanied the army belonging to the [[coalition of monarchs]] as they marched on Odium's forces in [[Emul]]. Dalinar sought out Renarin one evening at the Bridge Four cookfire, and they discussed a recent vision of Glys and Renarin's. Glys expressed to Renarin that he didn't think their visions were necessarily from Odium, though he admitted Odium's desires might be tainting what they saw. He was also worried by the lack of communication from Sja-anat, and he thought she was somewhere close by.{{book ref|sa4|54}}
Glys, having captured the vision as it had come to them, excitedly replayed it so Renarin could describe it to Dalinar. He made sure Renarin mentioned the blackness that showed in the stained glass so Dalinar would know that his proximity to the two of them was a protection from Odium's own future sight.{{book ref|sa4|54}}
Glys was optimistic regarding their ability to deal with the ingrained fear people had towards those who could see the future, though Renarin was less so. He also prompted Renarin to mention to Dalinar that there were other spren touched by Sja-anat that wished to bond humans, and noted that they needed more pairs like the two of them, as they existed outside of the favor of either men or singers.{{book ref|sa4|54}} Glys asked Renarin if he knew of anyone who would be worthy, so Renarin asked Sja-anat to consider [[Rlain]]; the Unmade sent [[Tumi]] to evaluate him, and they eventually bonded.{{book ref|sa4|54}}{{book ref|sa4|111}}
