|Hoid to a Cryptic{{book ref|sa3|epilogue}}
}}
Hoid has bonded athe [[Cryptic]] that formerly belonged to Elhokar[[Design]], which grants him access to Surgebinding.{{wob ref|10746}} While the enhanced reflexes and healing permitted by Stormlight will likely be less useful to Hoid, the [[Nahel bond]] allows him to access the surges of [[Illumination]] and [[Transformation]].{{Book ref|sa3|epilogue}} This allows Hoid to [[Soulcast]], transforming one type of matter to another by persuading its Cognitive aspect as well as Lightweaving, which grants him the ability to create visual and auditory illusions. This Rosharan Lightweaving may have a compounding effect with his Yolish Lightweaving, and likely allows him to circumvent the problems that he has experienced with his own Illusions. Although Hoid's Ideals are unknown, it may eventually grant him a [[Shardblade]] and [[Shardplate]]. <!-- Out of all of the orders of the [[Knights Radiant]], [[Order of Lightweavers|Lightweaver]] was his first choice, as Lightweaving matches him very well and he's quite familiar and experienced with it. Having full access to Lightweaving is a fulfillment of a long, long quest for him.{{wob ref|10755}} -->

===== Prior Visits =====
While rescuing [[Elhokar]]'s [[CrypticDesign]] before leaving [[Kholinar]], he recognizes one of the [[Fused]] as [[Vatwha]], an old acquaintance. At some point, "thousands of years ago," Hoid visited Roshar and mingled with the original inhabitants of the world, even dancing with the ancient [[singer]]s. The Fused, however, are now trained to watch for him - most likely to capture him and deliver him to [[Odium]].{{book ref|sa3|epilogue}}
He has been to Aimia at some point.{{wob ref|12780}}
