Changing wording to match WoB. The WoB specifically calls out gaining resonances from surges that wouldn't normally interact, rather than specifically resonances between four surges
(Undo revision 179729 : Reading the cited passage, Khriss doesn't theorize that Wax's ability to accelerate or decelerate mid steel-push is due to a Resonance. She only says that it's a consequence of the law of conservation of mass which is a hint for how storing weight works (gaining actual mass, not affecting one's pull gravity has).) Tag: Undo |

Resonances arise from the nature of how [[Shard]]s combine.{{wob ref|8115}} They are not simply a combination of the two base powers, but rather a separate, more distinctive, effect.{{book ref|mb5|part=ars}} The combination of powers can also cause slight variances in how the base powers are manifested, which is why [[Knights Radiant]] of different orders may manifest their shared [[Surge]]s slightly differently.{{wob ref|1524}} The longer a person uses their two powers, the more likely they are to acquire a resonance.{{wob ref|9494}}
An individual with many powers, such as a [[Allomancy|Mistborn]] or Full [[Feruchemist]], may lose this added effect.{{wob ref|3959}} With so many powers, the individual powers effectively wash out any resonance. It is still possible for such people to have a resonance, but it would be much less pronounced.{{wob ref|12608}} Temporarily gaining additional powers, such as from the [[Bands of Mourning]], would not deprive someone of a resonance they previously had. Someone with one power who began using the Bands of Mourning might develop a resonance between their original power and the Bands.{{wob ref|9494}} It is possible for a Surgebinder with multiple [[Honorblade]]s/[[Nahel bond]]s to develop

All orders of [[Knights Radiant]] have access to two Surges,{{book ref|sa3|part=ars}} and therefore each order has a resonance of their own.{{wob ref|1296}}{{wob ref|4889}} If a Radiant were to gain access to other Surges, either through an [[Honorblade]] or [[Nahel bond|bonding]] to
* [[Windrunner]]s' resonance is an increased number of squires, more than any other order.{{wob ref|915}}
* [[Order of Lightweavers|Lightweavers]]' resonance is increased mnemonic ability.{{wob ref|6740}}{{epigraph ref|sa2|49}} For [[Shallan Davar]], this manifests as the ability to take a "Memory" of a scene, which she can recall at a later time with perfect accuracy; when she put it to paper as a painting or a sketch the Memory is completely removed from her mind.{{book ref|sa1|7}}{{wob ref|1424}} This is similar to the way an [[copper#Feruchemical Use|Archivist]] stores memories in their copperminds. There is a limit to how many Memories she can store at the same time.{{wob ref|3244}} Memories are tied to [[Spiritual Realm|Spiritual]] [[Connection]].{{wob ref|3249}} Lightweavers can experience light and color differently and may be able to minutely alter the mood of others.{{wob ref|11531}} It is also implied that they may be able to create a solid illusion by combining their Illumination surge and their Soulcasting.{{book ref|sa3|120}}{{wob ref|3625}}
