Move and slightly improve Fused section; being Fused is just one more way of gaining access to the power, not another prereq. SL section should be rewritten to include Life and Voidlight fuel.

=== Becoming a Surgebinder ===
Surgebinding is not innate to Rosharans, and can be gained in
The exact Surges that someone can manipulate depend on the specific Honorblade or Nahel bond that individual has, or which brand they belong to.{{book ref|sa3|38}}
Radiants often learn their "anti-clockwise" Surge first.{{wob ref|8647}}
If the Surgebinder acts in a manner conflicting with their oaths, the bond grows weaker until, eventually, the spren "breaks" and is trapped in a cycle of agony after having a significant portion of its consciousness ripped out of it,{{wob ref|6053}} and their bondmate loses all Surgebinding abilities.{{book ref|sa2|69}} If the spren "breaks" while in Shardblade form, it reverts to its basic sword form,{{wob ref|5619}} and can be temporarily revived by being linked to the heartbeat of a person using it. Spren cannot "unbreak" on their own,{{book ref|sa2|17}} but can be revived if their bondmates take up their oaths again.{{book ref|sa2|84}} It is possible, but extremely difficult, for a spren to be healed without its bondmate.{{wob ref|6053}} A Surgebinder dying without betraying oaths is a very traumatic event for a spren, but it does not cause it to be broken.{{wob ref|6688}}

A group of powerful [[singers]] known as the Fused are able to Surgebind; however, they differ from the Knights Radiant in several ways. As their power is granted by Odium, they are powered by [[Voidlight]] instead of Stormlight. There are only nine orders of them, rather than ten,{{book ref|sa3|121}} and each has access to only a single Surge; Adhesion is considered to be
=== Stormlight ===
While inside the body, the Stormlight produces an intense adrenaline-like effect, urging the Surgebinder to action and motion, which may result in recklessness if the Surgebinder is not careful. It gives great energy, but when the Surgebinder that runs out of Stormlight is left exhausted and feeling deflated similar to after a pewter drag by a Pewterarm.{{book ref|sa1|66}}
