Szeth's spren acts very reserved towards Szeth, keeping its tone formal and addressing him as acolyte. It hasn't even told him its name yet.{{book ref\|sa4\|i\|7}} It does not talk to him or show itself to him often.{{book ref\|sa4\|i\|7}}{{book ref\|sa3\|121}} The spren seems to act as a judge of Szeth in some regard, as it judges both Szeth's worthiness and the truth as it pertains to what Szeth says.{{book ref\|sa4\|i\|7}} It approves of him swearing the Third Ideal{{book ref\|sa3\|121}} and wishes for him to continue by completing the Fourth Ideal.{{book ref\|sa4\|i\|7}} == Attributes and Abilities == === Nahel Bond === Its bond with Szeth gives it sentience in the Physical Realm and grants Szeth the [[Surges]] of [[Gravitation]] and [[Division]]. This bond is strengthened as Szeth swears additional [[Immortal Words\|Ideals]]. Since Szeth is of the Third Oath, his spren should be able to form a [[Shardblade]],{{~~cite~~ref\|text=Skybreakers bond a spren at or just before the Third Ideal,{{book ref\|sa3\|90}} so they can't earn it before then. Likewise, Szeth's spren makes no mention of him earning his Blade when it asks him to earn his Plate by completing the Fourth,{{book ref\|sa4\|i\|7}} so Skybreakers must have their Blade before the Fourth. This means that they earn it at Third Ideal.}} but it has yet to do so.{{book ref\|sa4\|i\|7}} == History == It bonded Szeth at some point before the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]]. During the battle, Szeth swore his Third Ideal and the highspren approved.{{book ref\|sa3\|121}} Since then, it has remained by his side, always judging his worthiness. While Szeth was guarding [[Gavinor]] and [[Dalinar]] on the [[Emul\|Emuli]] front, his highspren chose to show itself to him in order to give him direction on his progression through the Ideals. It told him he needed to complete his Fourth Ideal quest soon, and that he needed to rely more on his own judgement rather than that of Dalinar as part of his progress towards this Fifth Ideal.{{book ref\|sa4\|i\|7}} ▲It is bonded to Szeth.{{book ref\|sa4\|i\|7}}{{expand}} == Notes == <references /> {{~~partial~~complete}} {{Stormlight}} [[category:possessive articles]]
