The '''Surge of Adhesion''' is the [[Surge]] of Pressure and Vacuum.

== General abilities ==

Adhesion can be used to bind things together.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} The two orders of [[Knights Radiant]] with access to this [[Surge]] are the [[Bondsmiths]] and the [[Windrunners]].{{book ref|sa1|part=ars}} [[Honorspren]] and [[windspren]] are also able to use a rudimentary form of the Surge.{{wob ref|3260}}

=== Full Lashing ===

This ability creates an extremely powerful temporary bond between two objects. To use this ability, the [[Surgebinder]] infuses a surface with [[Stormlight]], after which any object or person that comes in contact with the surface will be bound to it. Full Lashing does not necessarily require skin contact; surfaces can be infused by "spraying" the Stormlight onto them.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} Most objects would break apart themselves before the bond holding them would.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} The duration of this bond is determined by the amount of Stormlight infused. The bond ends when the Stormlight runs out.

A Full Lashing can be powerful enough to bend the path of bullets.{{wob ref|3523}} Someone wearing [[Shardplate]] is immune to Lashings, but any objects that they are touching can be affected.{{book ref|twok|i|9}} The bond also attracts [[bindspren]].{{book ref|sa2|12}} 

== Windrunner abilities ==

The Windrunners use the Surges of Adhesion and [[Gravitation]]. The combination of these two Surges resulted in the three Lashings.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}}{{book ref|sa1|part=ars}} Using a combination of the two Surges, a Windrunner could theoretically exit orbit.{{wob ref|5806}}

== Bondsmith abilities ==

=== Spiritual Adhesion ===

Using the Surge of Adhesion to manipulate spiritual, rather than purely physical forces, a Bondsmith can touch another person and forge a spiritual [[Connection]] between them. This allows the Bondsmith to temporarily speak whatever languages this other person can speak.{{book ref|sa3|65}} Whether the Bondsmith  must remain physically close to this other person for the ability to be continually used or if it can transfer any other skill or knowledge is unknown. The power bears a great similarity to other applications of Connection such as [[duralumin]] [[Feruchemy]] on [[Scadrial]].{{book ref|mb6|22}}

=== Merging the Realms ===

Bondsmiths able to use the Surges of Adhesion and Tension to recreate [[Honor]]'s [[Honor's Perpendicularity|perpendicularity]] by merging the [[Physical Realm|Physical]], [[Cognitive Realm|Cognitive]] and [[Spiritual Realm|Spiritual]] Realms. This allows them to pour out Stormlight and give it to gems or Radiants, as if in a [[highstorm]].{{wob ref|12295}} This also lets [[spren]] manifest fully in the Physical Realm.{{cite}} This process is done by 'slamming' both hands that are 'leashing' the Cognitive and Spiritual Realms together, and was referred to by [[Odium]] as 'Ascending'.{{book ref|sa3|119}} Whether this can be used in another Realm beyond the Physical is undetermined. This ability was not possible while [[Tanavast]] still lived; the [[Stormfather]] also stated that [[Dalinar]] is the only Bondsmith to have ever achieved this.
