== Attributes and Abilities ==
He can see [[spren]], or ''mafah’liki'' in the Unkalaki tongue, in the Physical Realm even when they do not want to appear to him. Horneaters call people with this ability ''[[Sighted|alaii’iku]]''. It is implied there are other people like him. Rock has given conflicting reports on the origin of his blessing, saying that he was born with it but also that [[Cultivation's Perpendicularity|the waters of life]] are involved with him having this ability.{{book ref|sa1|21}}{{book ref|sa2|46}} In addition, he can slightly perceive the form of [[spren]] in the Cognitive Realm, as when he perceives the larger aspect of anticipationspren in Shadesmar.{{book ref|sa3|37}} His ''alaii’iku'' condition doesn't grant him a privileged position within Unkalaki culture, as Rock is still bound to his duty towards his nuatoma, and it didn't prevent him from having to do the work of a fourth son, and later that of a third son.{{book ref|sa3|37}}
 
His ''alaii’iku'' condition doesn't grant him a privileged position within Unkalaki culture, as Rock is still bound to his duty towards his nuatoma, and it didn't prevent him from having to do the work of a fourth son, and later that of a third son.{{book ref|sa3|37}} He is quite proficient in archery due to his birth status as a fourth son, though he no longer considers himself a soldier since the death of his brother.{{book ref|sa3|37}} He refuses to fight because being a soldier is not considered an esteemed profession in Unkalaki culture.{{book ref|sa1|49}}
Rock can also listen to a faint beat his mother used to sing to, an ability reminiscent of [[singer]] [[Rhythm]]s but of unknown relation. It is also unknown if this is a consequence of him being ''alaii’iku''.{{book ref|sa3|37}}
 
Rock is an exceptional cook, having always shown an interest in cooking even before his elevation to third son, making bread with his mother as soon as he could reach the countertops.{{book ref|sa3|37}} He cooks stew every day for Bridge Four as part of Kaladin's efforts to bring life back to the crew.{{book ref|sa1|27}} He is capable of preparing Horneater drinks, making [[Shiki]] for Bridge Four.{{book ref|sa3|37}} He is able to eat various harder foods due to his Horneater heritage, possessing extra jaw pieces that allow him to eat shells.{{wob ref|3922}}
He is quite proficient in archery, though he refuses to fight because being a soldier is not considered an esteemed profession in Unkalaki culture.{{book ref|sa1|49}}
 
Rock is also incredibly strong even considering his large and powerful frame, as he was able to use a Shardbow with proficiency onwithout whatwearing must[[Shardplate]].{{book have been his first try.ref|sa3|120}} These bows are described as having draw weights so huge that only men in Shardplate could use them. His daughter mentions that in the past, spren "strengthened his arm when he drew the Bow of Hours in the Peaks," which may provide an explanation;{{book ref|dawnshard|16}} it is unclear which spren were responsible for this.
