Difference between revisions of "Order of Bondsmiths"

''Binding people'' → The text suggests that this applies to oaths and the bonds between people (presumably with with oaths). This would make the Bondsmiths an integral part in the efforts to unify all the different surgebinders under the banner of the Knights Radiant; indeed, Ishar, the Heraldic patron of the Bondsmiths, is said to have been the one who originally forced organization on the early surgebinders.{{epigraph ref|sa2|42}} Some theories suggest that the Bondsmiths' power to bind others may compel its them to obey their oaths in a manner similar to the Oath Rod from the Wheel of Time series (see reference for a description of an Oath Rod and its abilities){{url ref|url=wot.wikia.com/wiki/Binding_rod|text=Oath Rod}}.

 

 

'''Adhesion:''' the property of different molecules (or surfaces) that causes them to cling to one another. So, adhesion "binds" two unlike things together.

''Combined Abilities'' → It is also possible that Bondsmiths will have powers similar to those of [[Lurcher]]s from [[Mistborn (series)|Mistborn]]. Since lurchers essentially use investiture to connect themselves to metallic objects and then pull - or affix - that object to themselves, it makes sense for Bondsmiths to be able to do something similar. These "lurcher" powers would not be limited to metal, but their applicability would presumably be limited to objects of different kinds (since tension is paired with adhesion - the ability to affix unlike objects to one another - for Bondsmiths).
