− | [[Surgebinding]] on [[Roshar]] differs from Snapping in that the determination of who is granted access is made on a case-by-case basis by conscious entities (the [[spren]] of the [[Nahel bond]]) depending on the behavior of the person. They are looking for people with broken spirits, as with Snapping,{{wob ref|5182}} but each kind of spren also applies to its own specific requirements. Also, perhaps uniquely among magic users, Surgebinders gain access to additional power by swearing [[Immortal Words|oaths]],{{book ref|sa1|67}}{{book ref|sa2|84}} and can lose power or break the bond entirely by violating their oaths or acting contrary to their spirit.{{book ref|sa2|18}}{{book ref|sa2|74 |
