{{anchor|Decay}}<!-- let it stay Decay until we know the correct name -->
* '''Decay''': Using the Surge of Division, the Surgebinder can touch an object and cause it to burn, turn to dust, or decay in other ways. The Surgebinder can exercise significant control, such as to burn a pattern into a piece of wood. It can also be used on humans.{{book ref|sa3|107}} This splits the molecular bonds of the object the Surge is used on, but not the atoms themselves.{{wob ref|3308}} It is likely to have the ability to ignite objects.{{book ref|

{{anchor|Growth}}
* '''Growth''': This ability accelerates organic growth to tremendous speeds. The Surgebinder can infuse the seeds
{{anchor|Regrowth}}
{{anchor|Lightweaving}}
* '''Lightweaving''': This ability creates visual and auditory illusions. The illusion is based upon not just what the Surgebinder imagines, but also desires to create, requiring both a mental picturing of and a Spiritual connection to the intended creation.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} Once the creation is shaped, the Surgebinder breathes out a cloud of [[Stormlight]] to form the illusion.{{book ref|sa2|7}} The illusion can be created anywhere, but requires a constant source of Stormlight, so the Surgebinder — or a being the Surgebinder is Spiritually linked to — needs to keep in proximity to it. Because the illusion automatically feeds off the Surgebinder, the glowing effect common to the Surgebinders as the Stormlight leaks out of their bodies does not happen, as excess Stormlight is instead fed to the illusion. Unless the Surgebinder intentionally dissolves the apparition, it will stay active until they runs out of Stormlight or leaves its proximity. It's possible for the Surgebinder to attach the illusion to themself, as well as a being they are Spiritually linked to such as the [[spren]] that forms the [[Nahel bond]], so that the illusion automatically follows their movements. This way, an illusion of a disguise can mimic facial expressions or adapt to the clothing or the accessories they are wearing.{{book ref|sa2|60}} Experienced practitioners of this art can also attach the illusion to an object that is infused with Stormlight, such as a [[sphere]].{{book ref|sa3|51}} The illusory image has no substance to it, and if an object physically passes through the illusion, the image fuzzes to Stormlight until the object withdraws.{{book ref|sa2|42}} Light itself does not pass through the illusion; if the Surgebinder wants to see through it, they must put in viewing holes. The amount of Stormlight the illusion requires depends on the complexity of it.{{book ref|sa2|54}}
** Interactions with Yolish Lightweaving: Rosharan Lightweaving is much more restrictive than the earlier
