Difference between revisions of "Surgebinding"

'''Surgebinding''' is a prime manifestation of [[Investiture]] on [[Roshar]]. Surgebinders can manipulate ten fundamental forces locally known as [[Surge]]s, with each Surgebinder having access to two of the Surges with overlap between them, by infusing objects or beings with [[Stormlight]].{{wob ref|4515}}{{wob ref|7663}} Each Surgebinder's Surges come in a set combination, for example, it is possible to have the surgesSurges of Progression and Illumination or Progression and Abrasion, but not Progression and Gravitation.

Also called the Surge of Soft Axial Interconnection, the Surge of Tension can be manipulated to alter the stiffness of an object,{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} such as taking something flexible and making it rigid.{{wob ref|7843}} The two orders of Knights Radiant with access to this surgeSurge are the Stonewards and the Bondsmiths.

For Bondsmiths, the use of this surge is different from the [[Stonewards]]. While [[Stonewards]] use this ability to shape stone in battle, Bondsmiths use it to repair inanimate objects as a complement to the surgeSurge of [[Adhesion]]. {{book ref|sa3|59}}
