Kaladin has a [[Nahel bond]] with the [[honorspren]] [[Sylphrena]] which gives him the ability to [[Surgebind]].{{ref|b|twok|c|57}} He has access to the [[Surge]]s of atmospheric pressure and gravity. As with all [[Surgebinder]]s, he has superhuman speed, strength and healing when he holds [[Stormlight]].{{ref|b|twok|c|62}} He has so far demonstrated the ability to use [[Reverse Lashing]]{{ref|b|twok|c|67}} and [[Full Lashing]]{{ref|b|twok|c|59}}, but not [[Basic Lashing]]. Kaladin is in the process of becoming a [[Knights Radiant|Knight Radiant]] from the [[Order of Windrunners]].{{ref|b|twok|c|73}} He has currently taken the first and second [[Immortal Words|Ideals]] of his order.{{ref|b|twok|c|67}}
Kaladin is currently immune to the [[Thrill]] although that does not mean he never felt it. This may be because of his Nahel bond.{{

== Trivia ==
*Kaladin spoke the Second Ideal of the Windrunners in modern Alethi.{{ref|?|979|8|text=Reddit AMA 2013}}
*Despite previous contradicting statements by Brandon, Kaladin is not likely to get another flashback book anymore.{{
*Kaladin was originally named Merin. One of the reasons for the name change was that Merin sounded too much like [[Wikipedia: Perrin Aybara|Perrin]].{{ref|?|535|8|text=Mad Hatter's interview with Brandon Sanderson}} Another was it sounded too much like a female name. Brandon also felt that the character had changed so much that he couldn't think of him as Merin anymore.{{ref|?|692|2|text=17th Shard Interview}}
*In the original manuscript of ''The Way of Kings'', Kaladin saves the life of Elhokar from a Shardbearer and accepts the Shardblade. They try to take it away from him, but Dalinar insists that he be given it.{{ref|?|590|50|text=Tor Q&A with Brandon Sanderson}}
