== Abilities ==▼
 
Beryl is a Lightweaver bonded to Ornament. She can instinctively use [[Illumination|Lightweavings]] to change her own appearance and sometimes does this subconsciously.{{book ref|sa4|26}} However, Beryl has not learned how to Lightweave anything other than herself yet. She attempted to use drawings to form Lightweavings like [[Shallan]], but is horrible at drawing.{{book ref|sa4|32}} She is skilled at using [[Transformation|Soulcasting]] and finds that by carrying around [[lavis]] seeds it is easier to transform things into lavis grain. She has shown [[Vathah]] this trick and he agreed it was easier to Soulcast with the seeds.{{book ref|sa4|26}}▼
▲== Attributes and Abilities ==
Beryl is a Lightweaver and shares a [[Nahel bond]] with Ornament, who usually stays inside of her shirt, out of sight.{{book ref|sa4|20}} Beryl has not yet spoken the necessary [[Immortal_Words#Ideals_of_the_Order_of_Lightweavers|Truths]] to use Ornament as a [[Shardblade]].{{book ref|sa4|26}}
 
She can instinctively [[Surgebind]] to change her appearance to look like someone else. She sometimes makes subtle changes to her own features subconsciously.{{book ref|sa4|26}} However, Beryl has not learned how to Lightweave anything other than her own appearance. She has attempted to replicate the methods used by other Lightweavers, but she is not good at drawing (like Shallan) or shifting her mindset to think like the object of an illusion (like [[Vathah]]).{{book ref|sa4|32}}

== History ==
After [[Adolin]], Shallan, and [[Pattern]] were let into Lasting Integrity, Beryl and everyone else except [[Godeke]], [[Felt]], and his wife [[Malli]] left for the [[Oathgate]] to tell [[Dalinar]] what had happened.{{book ref|sa4|75}}
 
== OtherTrivia ==
* Shallan refers to Beryl as a "Surgebinding savant", but the cosmere term [[savant]] is not known to be used on Roshar, so Shallan is presumably referring to the fact that Beryl showed an innate talent in Lightweaving before receiving any training.{{book ref|sa4|26}}
Beryl is not her real name. She claims not to remember her real name anymore. [[Ornament]] rides inside her shirt, near her skin. Beryl has not yet earned her [[Shardblade]].{{book ref|sa4|20}}
