''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).
 
''Shards & Spren'' → The Bondsmiths are unique in that they have a maximum of three members, and all three are bonded to a single spren (presumably the Stormfather given Dalinar's experience). The Stormfather told Dalinar that he would be a knight without shards which would make sense in an order where multiple knights were bonded to a single spren; such an order would either have no shard or would have to share the same set of shards.{{cite|Stormlight guidebook}}

{{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 wereis always soonly fewthree 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.
 
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 has been confirmed in the pocket guide (and by Brandon when asked about the guide) that there are three specific Spren who can bond a human to create a Bondsmith, and that the Stormfather is one of them.
