For Surgebinders - including both pre-Recreance [[Knights Radiant]] and [[Dalinar]]'s newly restored Orders, as well as wielders of [[Honorblade]]s such as [[Szeth]] prior to his death - the spheres, much like ordinary gemstones, act as a portable, convenient, and inconspicuous source of Stormlight to power their [[Surgebinding|abilities]]. Because of this, Surgebinders often carry pouches full of infused spheres, although if they find themselves in a situation where their own spheres are unavailable, inaccessible, or dun, they are often able to make use of spheres frequently found in the environment.
 
In the days after [[Kaladin]]'s promotion to a captain in [[Dalinar]]'s army, [[Sigzil]] attempts to establish a baseline for how efficient Kaladin's use of a [[Surgebinding#Full_Lashing|Full Lashing]] is by measuring the amount of time it takes for a Lashing powered by the Stormlight from a single diamond chip to run out,. firstThe withstone [[Rock]] hanging from a stoneremains lashed to the wall (20for seconds),somewhere thenbetween by87 aand stone lashed without an attached weight (about 87-91 seconds). Sigzil admits, however, that without a clock to track time or a way to quantify variations in how much Stormlight is in a sphere, that thesethe measurements are imprecise.{{book ref|sa2|12}} Since arriving in [[Urithiru]], he has continued to attempt precision measurements of Surgebinding,{{book ref|sa3|46}} though it is unclear how far he has gotten.
