Forming a [[Nahel Bond]] with a Cryptic makes one a [[Order of Lightweavers|Lightweaver]], with access to the [[Surge]]s of [[Illumination]] and [[Transformation]].{{book17s ref|sa2post|part=ars67791}}
 
A Cryptic can also grant access to the Cognitive Realm after accepting enough spoken truths from a Lightweaver. It is through these spoken truths that a bond with a Cryptic strengthens. The truth must be personal in nature and the more "powerful" the truth, the stronger the bond.{{book ref|sa1|70}}
 
In the Cognitive Realm, Cryptics can understand the thoughts of objects represented by glass beads in the Rosharan subastral, allowing them to translate for Lightweavers who wish to [[Soulcast]] an object there.{{book ref|sa2|7}}
