A '''Surgebinder''' is a type of magic user on the world of [[Roshar]].
[[category: terminology]]
They are capable of drawing [[Stormlight]] into the body and utilizing it to control the forces of nature.
[[category: magic users]]
Each Surgebinder has control of two of ten fundamental forces, or "surges". So far, we are aware of at least three of the available forces:
* Atmospheric Pressure
* Gravity
* Transformation
Each of the ten combinations of two forces corresponds with an order of the [[Knights Radiant]], for instance, the Windrunners can manipulate both Atmospheric Pressure and Gravity.
All of the Knights Radiant were Surgebinders, but Szeth suggests that it is possible to be a Surgebinder without being one of the Knights Radiant.
