|The effects here are more subtle than they are when mixing Surges on Roshar, but I am convinced that each unique combination also creates something distinctive. Not just two powers, you could say, but two powers … and an effect. This demands further study. |

'''Resonances''' are |
'''Resonances'''{{wob ref|4570}} are interactions that occur when an individual has access to more than one [[Investiture|Invested Art]] or [[Surge]]. The effects produced are not necessarily a combination of the two powers.{{wob ref|1296}}{{book ref|mb5|part=ars}} An individual with more than two powers such as a [[Allomancy|Mistborn]] or Full [[Feruchemist]] may lose this added effect.{{wob ref|3959}} This is because with so many powers the resonances are not as pronounced.{{wob ref|12608}} |

Resonances arise from the nature of how [[Shard]]s combine.{{wob ref|8115}} They are not simply a combination of the two base powers, but rather a separate, more distinctive, effect.{{book ref|mb5|part=ars}} The combination of powers can also cause slight variances in how the base powers are manifested, which is why [[Knights Radiant]] of different orders may manifest their shared [[Surge]]s slightly differently.{{wob ref|1524}} The longer a person uses their two powers, the more likely they are to acquire a resonance.{{wob ref|9494}} |

⚫ | |||
⚫ | * [[Order of Lightweavers|Lightweavers]], such as [[Shallan]], have the ability to take a "Memory" of anything they see as their resonance. They can recall this Memory at a later time with perfect accuracy. When they put it to paper as a painting or a sketch the Memory is completely removed from their mind.{{book ref|sa1|7}}{{wob ref|1424}} This is similar to the way an [[copper#Feruchemical Use|Archivist]] stores memories in their [[coppermind]]s. There is a limit to how many Memories a Lightweaver could store at the same time.{{wob ref|3244}} Memories are tied to [[Spiritual Realm|Spiritual]] [[Connection]].{{wob ref|3249}} |

* [[Edgedancers]], such as [[Lift]], are suspected of having the ability to communicate especially well as their resonance,{{book ref|edgedancer|6}}{{epigraph ref |sa2|46}} though Brandon has RAFO'd this.{{wob ref|1524}} |
|||
* [[Elsecaller]]s, such as [[Jasnah]], are suspected to have a sort of internal GPS as their resonance. This ability would allow them to determine their exact location as well as detecting in which direction the nearest settlement is.{{book ref|sa2|epilogue}} Brandon has not clearly confirmed or denied this.{{wob ref|6740}} |
|||
⚫ | |||
An individual with many powers, such as a [[Allomancy|Mistborn]] or Full [[Feruchemist]], may lose this added effect.{{wob ref|3959}} With so many powers, the individual powers effectively wash out any resonance. It is still possible for such people to have a resonance, but it would be much less pronounced.{{wob ref|12608}} Temporarily gaining additional powers, such as from the [[Bands of Mourning]], would not deprive someone of a resonance they previously had. Someone with one power who began using the Bands of Mourning might develop a resonance between their original power and the Bands.{{wob ref|9494}} It is possible for a Surgebinder with multiple [[Honorblade]]s/[[Nahel bond]]s to develop new abilities and resonances between surges that aren't normally combined.{{wob ref|14007}} |
|||
⚫ | |||
* Crashers, such as [[Wax]], a combination of a [[Coinshot]] and a [[Iron#Feruchemical Use|Skimmer]], have the ability to create a "[[steel]] bubble" around themselves which will deflect all metal that comes close to them.{{wob ref|1563}}{{book ref|mb4|1}} This ability requires practice and skill to use.{{book ref|mb5|9}}{{wob ref|1563}} The steel bubble only affects metals that are affected by [[iron]] and steel [[Allomancy]], therefore [[aluminum]] objects are unaffected by the bubble.{{book ref|mb4|6}} It has not been clarified if this is an ability unique to Wax or if it applies to all Crashers. |

* [[Edgedancers]]' resonance may be the ability to communicate especially well,{{wob ref|1524}} as scholars considered the pre-[[Recreance]] Edgedancers "the most articulate and refined" of the Radiants,{{epigraph ref|sa2|46}} and [[Lift]] is easily able to speak and understand quite opaque street slang in [[Yeddaw]].{{book ref|edgedancer|6}} |
|||
* [[Elsecaller]]s' resonance may be an internal GPS, due to Jasnah being able to pinpoint the closest settlement after returning from Shadesmar without any equipment.{{book ref|sa2|epilogue}}{{wob ref|6740}} Elsecallers' ability to [[Soulcast]] at a distance is not a resonance, as it is something that Lightweavers could learn as well.{{wob ref|13399}} |

* Resonances are a manifestation of the way [[Shard]]s combine.{{wob ref|8115}} |

* The nature of resonances was partially inspired by the [[wikipedia:Wave interference|constructive interference]] of waves.{{wob ref|8916}} |
|||
* While [[Hemalurgy]] will usually not create resonances, it is possible for it to happen.{{wob ref|12024}} |
|||
* [[Waxillium Ladrian]]'s ability to create a "[[steel#Allomantic Use|steel bubble]]" to deflect metal moving around him{{book ref|mb4|1}} was originally intended to be the result of him being a [[savant]] in the resonance between his [[steel#Allomantic Use|Allomantic steel]] and [[iron#Feruchemical Use|Feruchemical iron]]. Brandon later indicated that may not still be accurate, as he realized Wax was not manifesting the usual consequences of savantism.{{wob ref|1563}}{{wob ref|8115}} |
