== Purpose ==
The primary purpose of the Ideals was to serve as a guide to the Radiants for how they were to live their lives. These ideals were based off of the lessons taught in [[Nohadon]]'s book, [[The Way of Kings (in-world)|''The Way of Kings'']].{{book ref|sa1|59}} As the book had forty parables, it seems likely that each parable described an ideal of the Knights Radiant, excluding the First Ideal.{{book ref|sa1|58}}
A nascent Surgebinder speaking an ideal of their order also increases their ability to infuse both themselves and other objects with Stormlight and lowers the amount of Stormlight they require to actualize an effect. It is also important to note that simply having the ability to infuse does not make one a Radiant, simply a Surgebinder. Only after Ideals are spoken does one become a Radiant. The Ideals were not simply a means to greater power, they were a way of life for the Radiants.{{book ref|sa1|59}}
