Difference between revisions of "Lift"

Lift has formed a [[Nahel bond]] with Wyndle, which grants her the ability to Surgebind, although Lift herself is not entirely certain whether she believes this.{{book ref|wor|i|9}} As with all Surgebinders, Lift gains superhuman strength and speed when she holds [[Stormlight]], as well as the ability to heal quickly from non-mortal wounds. When Lift is invested with Stormlight, she refers to it as her "Awesomeness"." She is a member of the order of Radiants known as the Edgedancers. This gives her access to two Surges, Friction and Growth.

Abrasion allows her to change the friction of her body against her surroundings.{{book ref|wor|i|9}} She can reduce the friction, and presumably increase it as well. She refers to this ability as her "Slickness"." Lift uses this ability often to make quick getaways. She reduces friction on all parts of her body, except the soles of her feet and palms of her hands, and then kneels and propels herself swiftly forward using her palms. This also comes in handy when Lift is escaping guardspursuers, or someone else attempting to catch her. As Lift's body is essentially frictionless,because it is nearly impossible for them to get a grip on her and stop her.

The Surge of Progression allows for two different sorts of abilities.{{book ref|wor|i|9}} The more basic of these two is simply called Growth. Lift can use Stormlight to increase the rate of growth of plants. When Lift uses Growth, plant life that she illuminates grows at an extremely accelerated rate, and she has some measure of control over the way that theyit growgrows. She is less practiced at this ability, but she uses it for things such as making vines grow to force a locked window open. It is unknown if this allows Lift to enhance the Growth rate of animals or not.

The Surge of Progression also allowsgrants Lift another power as well, known as Regrowth.{{book ref|wor|i|9}} It allows Lift to heal others from serious injuries that would otherwise be fatal. When Lift uses Regrowth, she breathes out clouds of Stormlight which then flow into the injured person's mouth, healing them.
