== Attributes and Abilities ==
=== Surgebinding ===
Jasnah has a [[Nahel bond]] with the [[spren]] [[Ivory]] which gives her the ability to Surgebind.{{book ref|sa2|3}} She has access to the Surges of [[
;Transformation:
The Surge of Transformation allows Jasnah to use [[Soulcasting]]. Jasnah can use Soulcasting in various ways with great precision, ranging from burning letters into a page,{{book ref|sa1|33}} to transforming boulders into smoke,{{book ref|sa1|5}} and even purifying Shallan's blood from a poison called backbreaker powder.{{book ref|sa1|50}} She also used Soulcasting as a very deadly weapon when she and Shallan were attacked by four footpads in Kharbranth and she Soulcast their assailants into fire, crystal and smoke. They were even more dramatically demonstrated when she fought Odium's forces in the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]]. {{book ref|sa1|36}}{{book ref|sa3|118}} She has expressed that she is not very capable of Soulcasting organics and she was, indeed, unable to successfully Soulcast the strawberry jam that Kabsal brought to Shallan's hospital room.{{book ref|sa1|48}} Though to be fair, she had never tasted strawberry in her life before, which, without a doubt, contributed to her failure.{{book ref|sa1|72}}
She has also shown the ability to Soulcast multiple targets
Initially Jasnah pretends to use a fake Soulcaster fabrial to disguise her Surgebinding abilities from the public.{{book ref|sa1|70}}
;Transportation:
Jasnah can transport herself into and out of the Realm of Shadesmar, along with at least her clothing and small physical objects. As of [[Words of Radiance]] it has not yet been revealed whether she can transport others into Shadesmar, or what the limits of her ability to transport objects is. She did retrieve Shallan from Shadesmar after her ward entered with not enough Stormlight available to return.{{book ref|sa1|70}}
;Resonance:
{{theory}}
As a Knight Radiant who has access to two Surges she also has a [[resonance]].{{wob ref|1296}} Elsecallers, 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}}
