== Powers ==
The Fused use powers in ways similar to the [[Knights Radiant]], but with a few notable differences. Like all [[Surgebinding|Surgebinders]], the Fused gain their abilities through manipulation of Roshar's fundamental forces, the [[Surgebinding#Surges|Surges]], though unlike them, each one of the Fused's nine forms only grants access to a single Surge. It is unknown whether a specific Fused can change forms (and thus, powers) during their current incarnation, nor is it clear whether they can change forms between rebirths, when they posses a new singer body. The only Fused whose death and rebirth has been shown so far has retained her control over the [[Surgebinding#Gravitation|Surge of Gravitation]].
Another difference between the Fused and the Surgebinders lies in the fuel they use to power their abilities. Where Surgebinders use [[Stormlight]], the Fused rely on [[Voidlight]] - a reserve of [[Investiture]] they don't appear to acquire from physical reservoirs, like gemstones, but is instead supplied directly to them. Counteracting this ease of access, however, is Voidlight's inability to heal the wounds of those Invested with it{{book ref|sa3|43}}.
Not all Fused forms are known currently, and none of them are given names that would allow referencing them independently of the Surges they control, but a few make an appearance during the events of [[Oathbringer]].
=== Gravitation ===
Fused who can manipulate the Surge of Gravitation do so very similarly to how the [[Order_of_Windrunners|Order of the Windrunners]] makes use of the Basic Lashing. Fused of this form are often seen manipulating the gravitation vector of both themselves and other bodies and objects, resulting in abilities such as flight, reduced weight, and sending their enemies flying off into the air.
=== Illumination ===
Fused who interact with the [[Surgebinding#Illumination|Surge of Illumination]] appear to mimic the [[Order_of_Lightweavers|Lightweavers]]' ability to change their own appearance by creating illusions. The most notable example of this is seen during the attempt to steal [[Honor's Drop]] from the [[Thaylen Gemstone Reserve]].
=== Abrasion ===
Fused who control the [[Surgebinding#Abrasion|Surge of Abrasion]] have the ability to change the force of friction between objects and bodies, resulting in effects not dissimilar to the skate-like gliding the [[Order_of_Edgedancers|Edgedancers]] can do.
