The '''Order of Bondsmiths''' is an order of the [[Knights Radiant]] on Roshar.{{epigraph ref|sa2|44}}
The Bondsmiths are [[Surgebinder]]s who use the [[Surge]]s of Tension and Adhesion,{{wob ref|14102}} and they are associated with the heliodor [[polestone]]. {{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} They form a [[Nahel
== Philosophy ==
Initially the Stormfather may grant a specific set of visions crafted by [[Honor]] prior to his death to instruct a future Bondsmith in the fight against Odium.{{book ref|sa1|75}} Eventually a Bondsmith may create their own visions for others to experience.{{book ref|sa4|107}} These visions involve forging a Connection between a person and something of significance that they are Connected to,{{book ref|sa4|107}} perhaps something they desire, a hope or a wish, such as when Dalinar grants Kaladin his vision of [[Tien]].{{book ref|sa4|108}} The person that experiences the vision may need to be in a highstorm in order for the Bondsmith to create the Connection for a vision. These visions may occur in an instant, as time slows during the centerbeat of the highstorm.{{book ref|sa4|110}}
Those who see these visions are in some way experiencing the Spiritual Realm, but the Cognitive Realm is also involved to provide a framework for what appears and allow for Spiritual Realm to be comprehensible.{{wob ref|9562}} Any intelligent personalities that exist in the vision are comprised of Investiture that has interacted with the Cognitive Realm in order to
A similar ability that the Stormfather can grant is riding the storms, in which a person can join him and view the land from the perspective of a highstorm as it passes over the continent of Roshar.{{book ref|sa4|71}} The person riding the storm with the Stormfather may be capable of seeing even more details of the terrain below the highstorm than the Stormfather himself. It appears that his bonded Radiant may exercise even more control over these visions than a normal person allowed to ride the storm. When his Radiant rides the storm, the Radiant may control it if the Stormfather allows him, and can even go backwards against the force of the storm, although this pains the Stormfather greatly. When in this state a Bondsmith is even capable of accept a Radiant's oath in the Stormfather's stead.{{book ref|sa4|108}} The ability of the Sibling's Bondsmith to see and comprehend the mechanisms of [[Urithiru]] may be related, it represents a similar expansion of the Radiant's perception and knowledge of the Tower{{book ref|sa4|111}} in a similar way to someone riding the highstorm. It also allows for the Radiant to speak through the veins of garnet in the Tower, much as the Sibling does.{{book ref|sa4|111}}
; Repairing inanimate objects:
In a somewhat unique expression of their power, a Bondsmith may use their control over both their Surges as well as their unique affinity for Connection{{wob ref|14447}} to repair inanimate objects.{{book ref|sa3|59}} During this process they may sense and hear the Cognitive aspects of certain damaged objects around them.{{book ref|sa3|59}} With some combination of physical effort, as well as this power, they can fix the damage completely. It has been suggested that this ability may have restrictions to Progression-based healing
; Synergy with other Radiants:
