=== Nahel bond ===
Cryptics are one of the few spren types capable of forming a [[Nahel bond]] with humans. They grant their partner the power of [[Surgebinding]] with the Surges of [[Illumination]] and [[Transformation]], making the person a [[Order of Lightweavers|Lightweaver]].{{file ref| TWoK Front Endsheet.jpg | Surgebinding Table}} Past a certain point, a bonded Cryptic gains the ability to transform into a shape-shifting [[Shardblade]].{{book ref|sa2|34}} Cryptics are able to sense where their Surgebinder is once they start summoning their blade.{{book ref|sa4|7}} With a powerful enough bond, Cryptics are able to feel the impressions of their Surgebinder's thoughts.{{book ref|sa3|63}}
Unlike most Nahel bonds, a Cryptic bond is progressed by uttering deep, personal truths about oneself by the bond holder, with the more powerful, impactful truths deepening the bond further.{{book ref|sa1|70}} The Cryptics' particular affinity for truths extends further than that, as they are able to sense when a person is lying.{{book ref|sa3|47}}
