The '''Order of Bondsmiths''' is an order of the [[Knights Radiant]] on Roshar.{{17sepigraph ref|topicsa2|425844}}
 
The Bondsmiths are [[Surgebinder]]s who use the [[Surge]]s of Tension and Adhesion.{{17sbook ref|topicsa2|4323part=ars}} Adhesion gives the power known to [[Szeth]] as a "[[Windrunners#Powers|full lashing]].",{{17sbook ref|topicsa2|4258part=ars}} They form a [[Nahel Bond]] with one of three unique [[spren]]: the [[Stormfather]], the [[Nightwatcher]]{{disputed}}{{book ref|sa3|64}}, and (presumably) the [[Sibling]].{{book ref|sa3|64}} The exact nature of the [[Nahel Bond]] that Bondsmiths share with their specific spren is unclear; it may or may not be similar to other orders of the Knights Radiant.
 
== Ideals of the Bondsmiths ==
| The Third Ideal of the Bondsmiths, as sworn by [[Dalinar Kholin]]{{book ref|sa3|119}}
}}
The main focus of this oath is about becoming a better person over time.{{wob ref|13083}}
 
== Abilities ==
{{quote
The Bondsmiths use the Surges of '''Tension''' and '''Adhesion'''.
|"No Radiant is capable of more than you. Yours is the power of Connection, of joining men and worlds, minds and souls. Your Surges are the greatest of all, though they will be impotent if you seek to wield them for mere battle. "
|The [[Stormfather]] to [[Dalinar]].{{book ref|sa3|64}}
}}
 
The Bondsmiths have access to '''Tension''', the Surge of Soft Axial Interconnection, and '''Adhesion''', the Surge of Pressure and Vacuum.
 
=== Adhesion ===
 
=== Tension ===
The Tension Surge can be manipulated by the Surgebinder to alter the stiffness of an object.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} For Bondsmiths, the use of the Tension surge is different from the [[Stonewards]]. While [[Stonewards]] use this ability to shape stone in battle,{{disputed}} Bondsmiths use it to repair inanimate objects, as a complement to the [[Adhesion]] surge.{{book ref|sa3|59}}
 
=== Other abilities ===
; Spren and Shardblades:
Each Bondsmith shares a [[Nahel bond]] with one of three unique spren: the [[Stormfather]], the [[Nightwatcher]]{{citebook ref|sa3|111}}, and an unnamed [[Sibling|third]] who slumbers.{{epigraph ref|wor|44}}{{book ref|wor|89}}{{book ref|sa3|111}} Bondsmiths typically do not have access to a [[Shardblade]],{{wob ref|3311}} although it is possible to 'force' their bonded spren into a shape of power that allows them to activate Oathgates.{{book ref|sa3|100}}
 
; Connection and lightweaving:
Bondsmiths are able to boost other Radiants' powers. The boost given is different for each Order.{{wob ref|11296}} For example, allowing a [[Order of Lightweavers|Lightweaver]] to create a three-dimensional projection of [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa3|8}}
 
; "Healing" inanimate objects:
; Merging the Realms:
Bondsmiths may be able to feel and hear the cognitive aspects of certain broken objects around them. With some combination of physical effort, Tension and Adhesion, they can fix them. It has been suggested that this ability may have similarities to Progression-based healing - it is easier for users of Progression to heal those who are recently wounded, and it gets harder as the "soul" becomes accustomed to the wound. {{book ref|sa3|59}}
Dalinar is able to use the Surges of Adhesion and Tension to recreate [[Honor]]'s [[Honor's Perpendicularity|perpendicularity]] by merging the [[Physical Realm|Physical]], [[Cognitive Realm|Cognitive]] and [[Spiritual Realm|Spiritual]] Realms. This allows them to pour out Stormlight and give it to gems or Radiants, as if in a highstorm.{{wob ref|12295}} This also lets spren manifest fully in the Physical Realm.{{cite}} This process is done by 'slamming' both hands that are 'leashing' the Cognitive and Spiritual Realms together, and was referred to by [[Odium]] as 'Ascending'.{{book ref|sa3|119}} Whether this can be used in another Realm beyond the Physical is undetermined. This ability was not possible while Tanavast still lived; the Stormfather also stated that Dalinar is the only Bondsmith to have ever achieved this..
