== Powers Granted by the Bond ==
The Nahel bond grants the human the ability to [[Surgebind]]. Surgebinding allows one to use Stormlight, which grants superhuman abilities to the user, such as increased strength, agility, and healing abilities. It also perfects innate skills of the user but does not grant additional skills; for example, an expert spearman will become a spearman without equal, but will not become a master swordsman.{{cite}} (Granted, this example is muddled a bit by the fact that Windrunners automatically gain combat skill, regardless.)) In addition, Stormlight fuels the primary magic of Surgebinding: the usage of [[Surge]]s.
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. The people who bond spren share a Cognitive connection with their bond partners, which allows them to recognize each other and communicate telepathically.{{cite|Has this been explicitly stated by WOB or in the books?}}.
