→Shallan's Childhood
Worried about the return of the [[Voidbringers]], the [[Cryptic]]'s elected to send one of their own to bond a human. Despite believing it would end in his death, Pattern nominated himself, crossing into the [[Realmatic Theory#Physical Realm|Physical Realm]] and bonding with Shallan when she was just a child. After their bond began to form, Pattern would spend time with Shallan while she sat and drew in gardens of her fathers estate. By the time she was eleven, their bond had progressed far enough for Shallan to summon Pattern as a [[Shardblade]].{{book ref|sa2|6}}{{book ref|sa2|13}}{{book ref|sa2|88}}{{wob ref|5899}}
When a [[Skybreaker]] acolyte persuaded Shallan's mother that [[Surgebinder]]s had to be killed, she attacked Shallan
The state of distress and shock caused by the incident with her mother led Shallan to resent Pattern and suppress her memories of him, causing their bond to weaken and Pattern to retreat mostly back into the [[Realmatic Theory#Cognitive Realm|Cognitive Realm]]. After this, Shallan could no longer use Surgebinding, though could still use her enhanced mnemonic abilities.{{wob ref|5609}}{{wob ref|5675}}
