The Truthwatchers use the Surges of '''Progression''' and '''Illumination'''.
=== Progression ===
[[Surgebinding#Progression|'''Progression''']] can be manipulated to alter the growth and healing of organisms.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} It is described as "The Surge of Growth and Healing, or Regrowth". This ability heals the damage done to the body and the soul of a person instantly and without any scarring.
=== Illumination ===
[[Surgebinding#Illumination|'''Illumination''']] is used
=== Enlightened ===
Truthwatchers who have had their mistspren Enlightened by [[Sja-anat]] have different abilities from standard Truthwatchers. Progression remains normal, still allowing the healing of themselves and others.{{book ref|sa4|50}}{{book ref|sa3|15}} Where standard Truthwatchers can use Illumination to create illusions, Enlightened ones can only summon lights, which can sometimes act in strange and unnatural ways.{{book ref|sa4|6}} Deeper connection to [[Rhythm]]s can alter the Truthwatcher's abilities slightly.{{wob ref|14488}} An Enlightened Truthwatcher will have different oaths from a standard one.{{wob ref|11872}}
;Future Sight
This bond also allows the Radiant to see the visions of past and future events.{{book ref|sa2|85}}{{book ref|sa3|117}} Renarin stated that this is because Truthwatchers are unique because "they see".{{book ref|sa2|89}} Visions are shown through dark glass and show possible outcomes, but are not always accurate.{{book ref|sa4|54}}{{book ref|sa3|118}} Other people are not able to see this glass.{{book ref|sa4|54}} They do not come specifically from Odium, but since their powers come from him it is possible that his desires influence what the visions will show.{{book ref|sa4|54}} This also has the added benefit of causing others who see the future to see the Truthwatcher and those close to them as a black spot, as those who see the future cause a conflict in [[Fortune]].{{book ref|sa4|i|6}}{{wob ref|11873}}{{wob ref|11882}} The ability to see the future is related to the [[:File:TWoK Rear Endsheet.jpg|Voidbinding chart]],{{wob ref|8461}} though the precise relationship between the powers and Voidbinding remains unclear.{{wob ref|9541}}
== History ==
The ancient Truthwatchers were often scientists, scholars and
Truthwatchers would often engage in enthusiastic discussions on the topic of philosophy, particularly concerning the truth, even if many such conversations would take place only in writing. They were also interested in the more obscure crafts and sciences, such as new [[fabrial]]s or technologies.{{wob ref|13776}}
Modern Truthwatchers are few and far
