The Elsecallers were [[Surgebinder]]s who used the [[Surge]]s of Transformation and Transportation,{{file ref| TWoK Front Endsheet.jpg | Surgebinding Table}} and they are associated with the zircon [[polestone]]. They formed a [[Nahel bond]] with [[Inkspren]].{{book ref|sa3|47}} So far, it is known that the Elsecallers had the power to [[Soulcast]] and to "Elsecall," a use of the Transportation Surge which allows physical travel between [[Realms]].
== Philosophy ==
Those who join the Elsecallers generally subscribe to a philosophy that they should be becoming better with each oath, seeking to explore their true potential and reach it.{{wob ref|13778}} The order is more open to all types of people, as long as they want to improve themselves. They tend to attract those who are less flamboyant, scholars, theologians, and those who are interested in leadership. Modern lore connects the Elsecallers with the gemstone Zircon, the number seven, the [[Ten Essences|essence]] tallow, and the body focus oil. They are associated with the attributes of wisdom and cautiousness.
The Elsecallers are one of the scholarly orders of Knights Radiant. Inkspren are attracted to people who think through decisions rather than acting on instinct. This quality is usually associated with scholars, but can also apply to a soldier who thinks things through instead of rushing into battle.{{wob ref|1603}} Before the Recreance, the order also had a fair number of theologians and leaders, and was generally considered one of the most welcoming. The Elsecallers are widely considered the wisest and most careful of the Radiants, and were some of the Radiants' best tacticians and logistical organizers.{{wob ref|13778}}▼

[[Surgebinding#Transformation|'''Transportation''']] can be manipulated to change an object into one of the ten essences.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} Soulcasting transforms one material into another, though Soulcasting into one of the Ten Essences is easiest.{{book ref|sa1|33}} To [[Soulcast]], the Elsecaller shifts their perception to see into the [[Cognitive Realm]], and communicates with the Cognitive aspect of the object they want to transform.{{book ref|sa4|39}} This is normally done through direct contact with an object, however, can be performed from a distance. Elsecallers are more skilled at doing this than Lightweaver.{{wob ref|13399}} Elsecallers tend to view Soulcasting differently from Lightweavers.{{book ref|sa4|26}}
