== Bonds ==
Bonds are connections between entities in the [[Cosmere]] that exist outside the [[Physical Realm]]. All bonds are basically the same, with the powers and functions depending on the holders of the bond.{{wob ref|3488}} [[Shardworld]]s can also have an effect on what the bond does. Bonds are typically formed between entities with greater-than-normal Investiture (e.g. [[Spren]]) and other entities, allowing them to gain enhancements. It is unknown if a person with only innate Investiture is able to create a Bondbond.{{wob ref|6881}} Bonds are not limited to connections of entities with greater-than-normal Investiture to innately Invested entities; they can also be made between two entities with greater-than-normal Investiture.{{wob ref|2862}}
 
=== Types of known Bonding Entities ===
'''The Nahel Bond''': This Bond is between a human and certain types of intelligent [[Spren]]. The [[Nahel bond]] gives a human access to the system of magic known as [[Surgebinding]], while granting the spren the ability to maintain their cognition in the Physical Realm. There are ten known forms the [[Nahel bond]] can take, each giving access to two different [[Surge]]s. See [[Surgebinding]] and [[Nahel bond]] for more information.
 
'''Singer Bond''': The [[singer]]s can bond with a spren. Doing so grants the singer a Formform (a specific physical and mental change). Not all spren grant a unique Formform; most spren give the singers Dullformdullform. Without a spren, singers exist in what is known as Slaveformslaveform ([[Parshmen]]). Singers in Slaveformslaveform have very little mental capacity and are extremely docile. Dullform gives more free will and a small increase in mental capacity. Slaveform and Dullformdullform are physically similar. Singers can become [[Surgebinder]]s, but Formsforms of power exist that grant them abnormal abilities. See [[singer]] for more information on the various Formsforms.
 
'''Shardblade''': [[Shardblade]]s are able to bond with people through the use of charged gemstones. The gem is placed in the hilt of the Blade and after a week of constant contact, the Blade is bonded and can be dismissed from and recalled to the [[Physical Realm]]. Once bonded the blade can be dismissed and recalled by syncing with the user's heart to the blade. Ten heartbeats are required. A person's iris will lighten during the bonding process. [[Surgebinding]] is not granted by this bond.
 
'''Void Bonds''': Nothing is known at this time about [[Voidbinding]].
 
'''Nergaoul''': [[Nergaoul]] is able to bond with a humans who embrace the Thrill.{{book ref|sa3|115}} This imbues them with bloodlust and the urge to fight above all else.{{book ref|sa1|28}} With the help of [[Odium]], he is able to fully control large groups of people through the bond.{{book ref|sa3|116}}
'''Yelig-nar''': [[Yelig-nar]] is able to bond with a human{{book ref|sa3|118}} or [[singer]], and grants his host the use of all ten Surges.{{epigraph ref|sa3|95}} The people he bonds with appear to remain fully in control of themselves,{{book ref|sa3|120}} but they must control Yelig-nar if they do not wish to be consumed by him.{{book ref|sa3|118}}
 
'''Lesser Spren Bonds''': Non-intelligent spren are able to form bonds with humans.{{wob ref|4783}} This Bondbond does not grant [[Surgebinding]].
 
'''Other Spren Bonds''': Certain spren bond with animals native to Roshar, enhancing those animals and granting them abilities. Animals that are confirmed to have these bonds are [[chasmfiend]]s, chulls, [[Ryshadium]],{{wob ref|2691}} and [[skyeel]]s.
 
==== First of the Sun Bonds ====
'''Aviar''': [[Aviar]]s create a bond with a person and grant a specific power based of the type of Aviar bonded. Aviar are granted their ability if raised on one of the pantheon islands and consume a worm native to the island. See [[Aviar]] for more information. Has no known effect on Roshar.
 
'''Other Worm Infected Animals''' Other birds besides native island [[Aviar]] are able to eat the worms and create a bond with a new effect (i.e. Sak). It is unknown if eating the worms will grant new abilities to other non-bird animals.
 
==== Scadrial Bonds ====
No Bondsbonds are known of on this Shardworld.
 
Of note is that by using [[Hemalurgy]], bonds may be stolen and given to a new person.{{wob ref|6876}}{{wob ref|1153}}
 
=== The Known effect of Bonds while on other Shardworlds ===
Bonds on some Shardworlds provide the Holders of the Bondsbonds with additional powers.{{wob ref|3488}}
 
==== Roshar ====
It has been confirmed that Bondsbonds other than the [[Nahel bond]] will provide powers to the constituent entities of that Bondbond while on Roshar. What these powers are is unknown, and will not be of the ten [[Surge]]s. The seon bond is confirmed to do this, as the Nahel bond and the seon bond are very similar.{{wob ref|6928}}
