Many orders of the knights are able to grant the ability to use [[Stormlight]] and some of their [[Surgebinding|Surges]] to people, possibly those capable of becoming knights themselves. It appears that potential squires must have a mindset that matches at least partly with the requirements of the order. For [[Order of Windrunners|Windrunners]] this appears to be a mental state geared to protection. Many squires recite the First Ideal before gaining Surgebinding, but this is not required. Each order follows a path and with a Knight willing to help the first steps can be taken before Bonding a [[spren]] themselves. This shows the spren what people are good candidates for each order, and reducing the chance that a spren will die from failed oaths. Time as a Squire also allows a person to practice Surgebinding before gaining a Nahel Bond.
It is possible for a person to remain a squire their whole life, or to
Squires seem to be "of" a particular Knight Radiant, and lose their ability to Surgebind if too far away from "their" Knight.
