=== Stormlight ===
Surgebinding requires constant Stormlight as a fuel source, which the Surgebinder can draw by breathing in.{{book ref|sa2|59}} While it is possible to draw the Stormlight from any source infused with it, including directly from the [[highstorm]]s themselves, the common practice is to use [[spheres|gemstone]]s that have already been infused by the highstorms. It is possible to fuel Surgebinding with other magic, like [[Biochroma]].{{wob ref|3233}} Human bodies are imperfect containers for the Stormlight, so the Stormlight leaves the Surgebinder's body over time, giving the Surgebinder a glowing effect with luminescent white vapor rising from the skin. Breathing out accelerates this leaving, but Stormlight substitutes for oxygen so the Surgebinder does not need to breathe.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} The more Stormlight the Surgebinder holds, the faster it leaks out of the body.{{book ref|sa2|2}} If holding a small amount of Stormlight, Surgebinders are able to breathe in and suppress the glowing effect.{{book ref|sa3|21}} While doing this, they are able to talk without puffing out Stormlight.{{book ref|sa3|25}}
In addition to being fuel for Surgebinding, Stormlight also increases the physical capabilities of the Surgebinder's body far beyond regular human levels. The Surgebinder gains superhuman strength, speed, endurance, stamina, and healing of both body and soul. They can survive falls hundreds of feet, and stand up right away, the damage immediately being healed by Stormlight. Almost any kind of injury can be healed, including bad eyesight, scar tissues, severed limbs, or Spiritual damage done by a Shardblade.{{book ref|sa2|33}} This healing is based upon the Cognitive identity of the Surgebinder, as such if a soldier sees the scars on his body, for example, as a part of his self, Stormlight does not heal those scars.{{wob ref|6640}}
