Each Order of the [[Knights Radiant]] formed a [[Nahel Bond]] with a different type of spren.{{cite}} This bond is similar in nature to the bond between a [[Seon]] and its master.{{17s ref|post|66166}} The bond between a knight and their spren could be strengthened by verbally or mentally stating certain [[Immortal Words|Ideals]] or ideas related to their Order. Once the bond has strengthened to a certain point, the spren gains the ability to become a [[Shardblade]] when needed.{{book ref|wor|84}} A sword was the base form for a shardblade since they were fashioned after the [[Honorblade]]s but they could become any shape their knight needed such as a spear, hammer, or shield.{{book ref|wor|86}}
{{Theory}}
Each order of the [[Knihts Radiant]] bonds to a different spren, and they may each attract a different spren based on their powers. This may be a coincidence, or it may mean something. For example, [[Kaladin]] is followed by a large number of [[windspren]] when he fights [[Szeth]] during the summoning of the [[Everstorm]]. That may be because of the storm, but windspren have also followed Kaladin on other occasions.
Also, [[Shallan]] has been known to gather a large number of [[creationspren]] when making illusions. Although this seems obvious, with someone so acquainted with art, [[Renarin]], who also has the surge of Illumination, hasn't ever had any significant number of creationspren nearby. He hasn't made any complex illusions, though. But maybe only [[Lighteavers]] attract the creationspren, and [[Truthwatchers]] attract a different spren.
[[Dalinar Kholin]], during the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], brought together an amazing amount of [[gloryspren]], enough to make a pillar of them that pierced all three realms. Nobody else has been recorded to do that, but Dalinar is also the only [[Bondsmith]] in 4,500 years. So, maybe that was commonplace during the cycle of Desolations.
