== Philosophy ==
Willshapers generally subscribe to a philosophy that all people should be free to make their own choices.{{wob ref|13779}} They focus on personal fulfillment, radical self-expression, and freeing those who are captive.{{book ref|sa4|60}} The order is said to be most varied, save for a general love of adventure, novelty, or oddity.{{epigraph ref|sa2|50}} They tend to attract builders, craftsmen and other artisans.{{wob ref|13779}} They also tend to have the most variety among the Radiant orders.{{wob ref|14995}}
 
== Ideals of the Willshapers ==
The Ideals of the Knights Radiant, also known as the [[Immortal Words]], are a set of rules by which the Radiants live. The First Ideal is shared by all of the orders, and is used as a motto for the Knights Radiant as a whole. Each of the orders then have an additional four Ideals that are unique to that order.{{book ref|sa1|59}} The Ideals of the Order of Willshapers all focus on individual freedom and liberty; the Willshapers champion self-expression and freedom of choice for all.{{wob ref|13779}} Their oaths are generally acknowledged by [[Cultivation]].{{book ref|sa4|60}}{{book ref|sa4|115}}
 
=== The First Ideal ===
 
== Abilities ==
The Willshapers use the Surges of '''Transportation''' and '''Cohesion'''. Like most Knights Radiant, the Willshapers have squires.{{book ref|sa4|67}}
 
=== Transportation ===
[[Surgebinding#Transportation|'''Transportation''']] allows the transfer of one's physical body into and out of the [[Cognitive Realm]].{{wob ref|1597}} It works by creating a miniature [[perpendicularity]] that the Willshaper can go through.{{wob ref|1525}} It is significantly easier to enter the Cognitive Realm using Elsecalling than it is to leave it.{{book ref|sa3|33}} Willshapers are able to use this ability to [[worldhop]].{{wob ref|655}}
Transportation allows Willshapers to transport their physical selves in and out of Shadesmar.
 
=== Cohesion ===
[[Surgebinding#Cohesion|'''Cohesion''']] allows them to alter the shape of solid objects in a way called Stoneshaping. This surge allows a Willshaper or [[Stoneward]] to make stone more malleable, like clay, or even a liquid. The Willshaper can then reshape the stone according to their desires. This surge also connects the Willshaper to the spren of the stone in a deep, fundamental way, though the full extent of this is not yet known.{{book ref|sa4|67}}{{book ref|sa4|part=ars}}
 
=== Regals ===
When a Willshaper is also a [[Regal]], additional abilities arise. Though there is a voidspren within the singer's gemheart, the lightspren keeps it trapped. This allows the Radiant to retain their form's abilities and switch between red and normal eyes at will, letting them blend in with Odium's forces.{{book ref|sa3|120}} Regal Willshapers are able to use both stormlight and Voidlight to fuel their Surgebinding.{{book ref|sa4|11}}{{book ref|sa4|109}} These Willshapers are also highly resistant to inhibitors that stop Surgebinding from Radiants.{{book ref|sa4|67}}
