During this fight, he uses his Shardblade through the onset of a minor seizure and the screams of his Shardblade. Through these events, Renarin shows that he values the lives of his family over his own, beingand is willing to put himself in great danger if it might help the people he loves.{{book ref|sa2|56}}
 
Renarin showshas an inquisitive streak as well, especially in regards to fabrials.{{book ref|sa1|52}} On multiple occasions heHe inspects fabrials around him and asks questions about their functions.

Renarin has a "blood weakness" (epilepsy), which prevents him participating in activities of great physical stress, including combat. The weakness affects him in episodes, during which he grows pale and his limbs go weak, to the point of trembling or possible collapse.{{book ref|sa1|52}} When speaking with Kaladin, Renarin revealsbelieves that histhese weaknessare issymptoms epileptic,of with[[Wikipedia: themyoclonus|myoclonic seizures]].{{book manifestingref|sa2|41}} asRenarin ais losson ofthe control[[Wikipedia: ofAutism aspectrum|autism limbspectrum]]{{wob orref|7099}} aand littlealso bitsuffers of twitching, occasionally experiencing weakness along one side of his body.

=== Shards ===
After giving his [[Shardblade]] to [[Torol Sadeas]], Dalinar gavegives his [[Shardplate]] to Renarin,{{book ref|sa1|69}} and Adolin later gavegives him athe Shardblade he won in ahis duel with [[Salinor Eved]].{{book ref|sa1|69}}{{book ref|sa2|14}} Though[[Zahel]] hetrains hashim had very little training with Blade and Plate uphow to thisuse point,his heShards undergoes training under [[Zahel]]properly. HeRenarin also trains as a member of Bridge Four under Kaladin's leadership, though it is unclear if he is trained with or carries a spear. Renarin uses his Shardblade only under great duress or when asked directly, because, as a manifestation of his [[Nahel bond]], he hears the screams of the Blade's dead spren when he holds it. After the [[Battle of Narak]], he givesreturns upthe hisShardblade ShardsAdolin gave him, but learns to manifest Glys as a Shardblade.{{book ref|sa3|10}}
 
=== Surgebinding ===
He is also a [[Surgebinder]] and a fledgling member of the [[Knights Radiant]]. He claims to be a [[Truthwatcher]], bonded to a spren named [[Glys]],{{book ref|sa2|89}} but is not a true member of the order due to the corruption of his spren.{{book ref|sa3|116}} Renarin bonded Glys at some point before Adolin's final duel.{{wob ref|283}} HeAs hasa Truthwatcher he would have access to the [[Surge]]s of [[Progression]] and [[Illumination]], however, he has been unable to successfully use the latter Surge.{{book ref|sa3|37}} [[Glys]]'s corruption has not barred Renarin from using StormlightProgression to Surgebindheal orhimself healand others.{{book ref|sa3|15}}{{book ref|sa3|59}}
 
He is able to use a surge of Stormlight to banish the life and animating force out from a [[Thunderclast]].{{book ref|sa3|120}}

In the days leading up to the [[True Desolation]], Renarin began seeing visions of the future which caused him to write glyph messages and numbers counting down to the arrival of the Everstorm. During the battle for Narak itself, he is taken by one of these visions again, and his participation in them seems to be involuntary, if not painful. Considering the Vorin sensibilities regarding men writing, it is likely that his writing of the glyphs is against his will also. Because he is seeing the future, an action explicitly forbidden by the Vorin church for ties with the Voidbringers, Renarin believes himself to be cursed by the Almighty.{{book ref|sa2|85}}

Renarin's visions manifest as fits that come upon him against his will, wherein he sees a number of scenes represented as stained-glass images, some of them underlined with numbers and words. {{book ref|sa3|120}} These visions can show both past and future events, even of situations where Renarin is not present at the time the event depicted happens.{{book ref|sa3|117}} However, the images of the future are not always accurate, and what actually happens can diverge from what Renarin sees.{{book ref|sa3|118}} These
The visions are the result of [[Glys]]'s corruption by [[Sja-anat]] prior to the formation of the Radiant bond. This changed Glys from the typical light-spot shape to a red snowflake, and has somehow introduced [[Odium]]'s influence to the bond. How far this influence extends is yet to be seen.{{book ref|sa3|115}}▼

Renarin's futuresight causes him to be a black spot that Odium cannot see when tries to see the future himself.{{book ref|sa3|122}}{{wob ref|11882}} This is due to a conflict in [[Fortune]] similar to the way [[Allomancy|Allomantic]] [[electrum]] interacts with [[gold]].{{wob ref|11873}}▼
