Bonds are connections between entities in the [[Cosmere]] that exist outside the [[Physical Realm]]. Depending on the Shard world, its type, and its constituent entities, the Bond will provide different things. Bonds are typically formed between entities with greater-than-normal [[Investiture]](i.e. [[Spren]]) and other entities, allowing them to gain enhancements of some form. It is unknown if a person with only innate [[Investiture]] is able to create a Bond.{{qa ref|1076|27|Do all humans have innate investiture?|date= Mar 6th, 2014}} Bonds are not limited to connections of entities with greater-than-normal [[Investiture]] to innately invested entities; they can also be made between two entities with greater-than-normal [[Investiture]].{{qa ref|1113|2|Can Nightblood Bond Spren?|date= Aug 4th, 2014}}

=== Roshar Bonds ===

'''The Nahel Bond''': This Bond is between a human and a [[Spren]]. The [[Nahel Bond]] Provides access to the System of magic known as [[Surgebinding]] to the human, while granting intelligence to the Spren. There are ten known forms the [[Nahel Bond]] can take, each giving access to two different [[Surge]]s. See [[Surgebinding]] and [[Nahel Bond]] for more information.

'''Listener Bond''': The Listeners ([[Parshendi]]) can bond a with Spren, and this grants the Listeners a Form (physical and mental change). Not all Spren grant a unique Form most Spren give the listeners Dull Form. Without a Spren [[Listener]]s exist in what is known as Slaveform ([[Parshmen]]). [[Listener]]s in Slaveform have very little mental capacity and are extremely docile. Dullform Gives more free will and a small increase in mental capacity, Slave and Dull Form are physically similar. [[Listener]]s can not become [[Surgebinder]]s but Forms of power exist that grant abnormal abilities to the [[Listener]]s. See [[Listener]] for more information on Forms. 

'''Shard blade''': [[Shardblade]]s are able to bond with people through the use of charged gemstones. The gem is placed in the hilt of the blade and after a week of constant contact the blade is bonded, and can be dismissed from and recalled to the [[Physical Realm]]. Once bonded the blade can be dismissed and recalled by syncing with the user's heart to the blade, ten heart beats are required. A person's iris will lighten during the bonding process. [[Surgebinding]] is not granted by this bond.

'''Void Bonds''': Nothing is known at this time about [[Voidbinding]].

It makes a bond with anyone it wishes to communicate with and is able to read their minds and speak directly into their mind.{{qa ref|1037|8|How is it that Nightblood, who is merely a near-sentient awakened object, was able to read minds, something a Shard like Ruin was unable to do?|date= Oct 1st, 2013}} Distance appears to be a factor but this may be a limitation of the mind of Nightblood and not its ability. Any one who is able to wield Nightblood and survive Bond's with the blade to a greater degree and is no longer repelled by or abnormally drawn to kill with it.{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=45}} This bond may grant additional powers on Roshar.{{qa ref|1076|34|Nightblood is a shardblade|date= Mar 6th, 2014}}{{qa ref|1076|34|Nightblood is a shardblade|date= Mar 6th, 2014 }}

'''

== The effect of bonds while on Roshar ==
'''


Some bonds from other [[shardworld]]s are able to grant unknown abilities to the members of the bond similar to but not the same as [[Surgebinding]] while on Roshar. This effect is a function of the magic that deals with the Nahel Bond other bonds of similar type are treated like a Nahel bond.
