Spren have measurable properties, including luminosity, shape, size, and color.{{ref|b|wok|i|8}} [[Geranid]], an [[ardent]] who studied spren, has discovered that recording a spren's measurement fixes its property at that value.{{ref|b|wok|i|8}} Larger spren, such as [[riverspren]] and [[Cusicesh the Protector]] can mimic human faces,{{ref|b|twok|i|5}} and are typically invisible, except to the person they are bothering.{{ref|b|twok|c|2}} Larger spren can also move small objects and give "pinches" of energy.{{ref|b|wok|c|6}} Spren do not sleep,{{ref|b|wok|c|14}} and are believed to live in everything.{{ref|b|twok|c|37}}
