Spren are a type of spirit found commonly on Roshar.
They come in many different varieties each associated with and named for their own phenomenon. They will always swarm around whatever attracts them. The causal link between Spren and their associated phenomenon is poorly understood on Roshar, as it is widely believed that rotspren, attracted to a wound, actively cause an infection, whereas flamespren are held to be only attracted to fire.
Properties
Spren are said to be always around, but usually invisible.[citation needed] Some believe that there is spren in everything, but they are only visible when something changes.[1] The exception is in Shinovar, where they apparently do not exist.[2] Spren have measurable properties, including luminosity, shape, size, and color.[3] Geranid, a spren researcher, has discovered that recording a spren's measurement fixes its property at that value.[3] Larger spren, such as riverspren and Cusicesh the Protector can mimic human faces.[4] Larger spren can also move small objects and give "pinches" of energy.[citation needed] Spren do not sleep, and are believed to live in everything.[citation needed]
