→Powers granted by the Bond
|
Each type of spren will grant its human Surgebinder two different Surges. Which two is decided by the type of spren to which they are bonded, and thus, which order of knights they belong to. There are ten different types of surges, and ten different orders of knights, so each surge is used by exactly two different orders of knights. There is a cognitive connection between all people who are bonded with a certain type of spren. This mental connection provides telepathy and recognition between the Bond members. Some Orders of the Knights Radiants have additional, unique abilities. For example, [[Lightweaver]]s are known for their mnemonic abilities (which manifests differently in each person) and [[Skybreaker]]s can divide the innocent from the guilty. This is a result of the two surges overlapping, producing an effect like mixed chemicals..
When the Nahel bond is at a sufficient strength, the bonded spren can instantly manifest itself as a Shardblade in any number of forms. For example, when [[Kaladin]] and [[Syl]] are in battle, Syl is able to manifest herself as a sword, a spear, and a shield. A human using a Shardblade without a Nahel Bond (these shardblades are dead spren) must wait ten heartbeats before the summoning will take place, and are limited to using the Shardblade in the form it held at the time the bond was severed, usually that of a large sword.
The Nahel Bond also grants the ability for spren to manifest themselves into the [[Physical Realm]], outside of the form of a Shardblade. Additionally, the spren gains greater self-awareness, intelligence, and access to their memories the stronger their bond is with their human.
