'''Cultivationspren''' are a type of sapient [[spren]] on [[Roshar]]. They are capable of forming a [[Nahel Bondbond]], granting people the powers of the [[Edgedancers]].{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}

While the origins of the cultivationspren are unknown, it's possible that they were created by [[Cultivation]] herself.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} Back in the [[Heraldic Epochs]], cultivationspren began forming [[Nahel Bondbond]]s with humans, creating the [[Order of Edgedancers]]. When the [[Recreance]] came, they were decimated, with anyone who would know how the Bond works turned [[deadeye]]. Over the millenia, their society recovered somewhat, albeit they never created grand cities or a nation.{{book ref|sa2.5|2}}
 
Shortly before the [[True Desolation]], they saw the [[honorspren]] and the [[Cryptic]]s begin to bond humans again, and decided that they must keep up. The [[Ring]], their ruling body, sent [[Wyndle]] to bond with [[Lift]], and possibly some other spren as well.{{book ref|sa2.5|2}}{{book ref|sa2.5|1}}
Fittingly, cultivationspren seem to worship Cultivation more so than [[Honor]], swearing by her name and calling her Mother.{{book ref|sa3|118}} They are skittery and often fearful, seeking to avoid bringing danger upon themselves.{{book ref|sa2.5|7}}{{book ref|sa3|102}} When push comes to shove, however, they can be relied on regardless of how dangerous a situation is.{{book ref|sa2.5|8}}{{book ref|sa3|102}}
 
It's unknown what their general attitude towards humans is, but the ones seen so far are not opposed to [[Nahel Bondbond]]s, with the dock registrar in particular being excited about the return of the [[Knights Radiant]]. Going by his comments, this is a wide-spread opinion.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
 
Unlike other sapient spren, cultivationspren don't have their own nation or settlements in the [[Cognitive Realm]].{{book ref|sa2.5|2}} Rather, they live alongside other spren in cities where various types intermingle, like [[Celebrant]].{{book ref|sa3|102}} Nonetheless, they have their own government, a council known as the [[Ring]], which in the present day is responsible for choosing which of their kind should bond who.{{book ref|sa2.5|1}}
Out of all spren, cultivationspren are the best at manifesting souls from beads in Shadesmar. For this reason, they often work creating gardens for other spren.{{book ref|sa3|99}} Rather than plants, cultivationspren gardeners create elaborate structures out of objects such as chairs.{{book ref|sa2.5|1}}
 
Cultivationspren can form [[Nahel Bondbond]]s with humans. Through this, they can grant the [[Surgebinding]] abilities of [[Abrasion]] and [[Progression]].{{book ref|sa2.5|2}} Like other Radiant spren, they lose their memories upon entering the [[Physical Realm]], although it seems as though the [[Ring]] has some ability to lessen this effect by careful preparation.{{book ref|sa2.5|1}}{{book ref|sa2.5|2}}
