The Bondsmiths were [[Surgebinder]]s who used the [[Surge]]s of Tension and Adhesion{{17s ref|topic|4323}}, and they absorbed [[Stormlight]] from gems.
Adhesion gives the power known to [[Szeth]] as a "[[Windrunners#Powers|full lashing]]", but otherwise it is not known what powers the Bondsmiths had.{{17s ref|topic|4258}}
The exact nature of the [[Nahel Bond]] that Bondsmiths share with their specific spren is unclear; it may or may not be similar to other orders of the Knights Radiant.

;"Godspren":
It has been theorized that the Bondsmith spren may be "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. 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."
