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|sa2|i|9}} As with all Surgebinders, Lift gains superhuman strength and speed when she holds [[Lifelight]], as well as the ability to heal quickly from non-mortal wounds.{{book ref |RoW|60}} When Lift is invested with Lifelight, 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, Abrasion and Progression. Lift also has a rare and possibly unique ability to convert food to Lifelight through consumption.{{book ref|RoW|60}} While this may seem a great blessing, she lacks the ability to gather Stormlight from gemstones and other sources.{{wob ref|8073}}

Lift's other power is even more impressive.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} MostUnlike most Surgebinders, needwho are able to draw Stormlight from an external source in order to manipulate the Surges.sources, Lift, however, can metabolizemetabolizes food directly into [[Lifelight]], instead of sugar, and use thatuses Lifelight to fuel her Surges instead of Stormlight.{{wob ref|678073}} {{book ref|RoW|60}} Lift can not draw Stormlight from gemstones or other external sources.{{wob ref|8073}} Food that she can metabolize quicker, such as bread, can be metabolized into Lifelight faster than something like sausage, but may provide less Lifelight overall because it has fewer calories. Her Lifelight is produced in place of sugar.{{wob ref|67}} . However, this is limited to substances that she can normally digest into nutrients.{{wob ref|2506}} She can also convert the energy reserves in her own body into Lifelight, as well as convert [[Feruchemical]] [[bendalloy]] to Lifelight.{{wob ref|9272}} These abilities are unique to Lift.{{wob ref|940}} However, this power can be dangerous too, as she often risks malnutrition when she burns through all her excess energy.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} As Lift can only gain Lifelight through metabolizing food,{{wob ref|8073}} she is limited by the amount of food she has eaten. She may be the only person to have ever had one, or all, of these abilities and it may not have been believed possible until she visited Cultivation.{{wob ref|12898}}
