=== Other abilities === ~~{{theory}}~~ While Bondsmiths' exact powers are unknown, clues from the text make it obvious that the Bondsmiths' powers involve binding things. Additionally, some ideas about their powers can be inferred from their Surges. ;Binding people:▼ The text suggests that this applies to oaths and the bonds between people (presumably 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 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=http://wot.wikia.com/wiki/Binding_rod\|text=Oath Rod\|site=Wheel of Time wikia}}. ~~;Tensional Abilities:~~ These are the abilities that allow Bondsmiths to unite others; tension grants the ability to connect people through a common bond or oath. Presumably tension would also grant a Bondsmith the power to connect things through adhesion. ;~~Shards~~Spren and ~~Spren~~Shardblades: Each Bondsmith shares a [[Nahel bond]] with a unique spren, such as the [[Stormfather]].{{cite}} Based on Dalinar's experience, the Bondsmiths also do not have access to a [[Shardblade]]. == Quotes == ==Theories and Speculation== {{theory}} It has been theorized that each Bondsmith shares a [[Nahel bond]] with a specific "godspren" -- in other words, the cognitive representation of the people of Roshar's gods. This might explain why Bondsmiths are said to have bound such "specific" spren, and also why there is only three Bondsmiths at any given time. Presumably, this would be due to that fact that there would only be as many powerful "godspren" at any given time as there were heavily worshipped gods on Roshar. Honor (i.e. The Almighty) and Cultivation are two obvious candidates for having "godspren." Indeed, The Stormfather is already confirmed to be the "godspren" of Honor.{{cite}} Who the other worshipped god could be on Roshar is unclear at this point.▼ ;Creation of the Parshmen: It should be noted that "pious" is the primary divine attribute of Ishar, the Herald of the Order of Bondsmiths. This would seem to fit with the idea of Bondsmiths sharing a Nahel bond with "godspren." It is likely that a Bondsmith, Melishi, was responsible for turning the Voidbringers into [[Parshmen]].{{epigraph ref\|sa2\|58}} ;"Godspren": ▲It has been theorized that ~~each~~the Bondsmith ~~shares~~spren amay ~~[[Nahel bond]] with a specific~~be "godspren" -- in other words, the cognitive representation of the people of Roshar's gods.
