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 ==
As Bondsmiths are deeply Connected to powerful spren that serve as sources of Investiture, unlike other Radiants they are capable of pulling through Investiture on demand,{{book ref|sa4|111}} each spren allowing access to its associated Light. They may use this ability to overcharge another Radiant with Light directly{{book ref|sa3|122}} This process is physically taxing for the Bondsmith. However, as most Radiants primarily make use of Stormlight, this is perhaps most useful for the Stormfather's Bondsmith, although the other Bondsmiths can still generate their respective Lights for personal use. It is uncertain how exactly this is done, but it is not necessary for the Bondsmith to be holding some Light already in order to pull more over into the Physical Realm.{{book ref|sa4|110}} The exact mechanics of this ability are unknown, but it seems most likely that they are pulling it directly from the Spiritual Realm.
Another power that has only become available to a Bondsmith following Honor's demise is the ability to open a full perpendicularity,{{book ref|sa3|119}} seemingly an expansion of the ability to generate Investiture. Of the three Radiants, only the Stormfather's Bondsmith has been confirmed to be able to summon Honor's Perpendicularity, which itself is typically mobile.{{book ref|sa3|93}}{{wob ref|1525}} It is uncertain if the Sibling's Bondsmith or the Nightwatcher's Bondsmith can also summon perpendicularities, although the fact that the wielder of the Blade of the Bondsmiths may also summon a perpendicularity{{book ref|sa4|111}} lends credence to the possibility that the other Bondsmiths may do the same
; 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:
