The glyph for the Surge of Division

The Surge of Division is the Surge of Destruction and Decay.

General abilities

Division can be manipulated to have power over destruction and decay. The two orders of Knights Radiant with access to this Surge are the Dustbringers and the Skybreakers.[1]

Decay

This ability allows the Surgebinder can touch an object and cause it to burn, turn to dust, or decay in other ways. The Surgebinder can exercise significant control, such as to burn a pattern into a piece of wood. It can also be used on humans.[2] This splits the molecular bonds of the object the Surge is used on, but not the atoms themselves.[3] It is likely to have the ability to ignite objects.[4]

Decay can be used to create types of sculptures, such as adding color when burning objects or grayscaling them.[5]
