Ivis appears to be one of [[Alethkar]]'s most skilled ardents[[ardent]]s with a sword. [[Zahel]] and [[Kelerand]], two expert swordsmen, fully trust her to perform training without their direct supervision.{{book ref|sa2|44}}{{book ref|sa3|16}} [[Highprince]] [[Dalinar Kholin]] also knows her by name and trusts her with important tasks.{{book ref|sa3|16}} She can handle a [[Shardblade]] and is highly familiar with all ten stances, which is unusual for a woman in Alethkar.{{book ref|sa2|44}}

Ivis is one of many ardents[[ardent]]s that reported to [[Zahel]] on the [[lighteyes|lighteyed]] training grounds in [[Highprince]] [[Dalinar Kholin]]'s warcamp on the [[Shattered Plains]]. Zahel assigned her to spar with [[Bridge Four]] using one of theKing king[[Elhokar]]'s [[Shardblade]]s, hoping to familiarize them with the [[stances]] used by Shardbearers, should they ever have to fight one. Although Ivis's robes concealed her figure, [[Kaladin]] considered the sight of a woman holding a [[Shardblade]] to be odd, although it was no odder than seeing a [[darkeyes]] hold one.{{book ref|sa2|44}}
