==== Nahel Bond ====
{{for|Nahel bond}}
The '''Nahel bond''' is a symbiotic relationship between humans and [[spren]], through which the human gains Surgebinding powers and the spren gains sapience in the [[Physical Realm]].{{book ref|sa2|17}} The spren choose the people they bond with according to the actions and personalities of those people.{{wob ref|6651}} There are ten types of spren that bond with humans—each granting access to two of the ten Surges, with overlap between them—and each of these types are attracted to different attributes in their bondmates.{{book ref|sa2|1}}
Once the bond is established, the spren is pulled into the Physical Realm, although they retain very little intelligence and memories and act almost like lesser spren until the bond grows stronger.{{book ref|sa2|3}} The strengthening of the bond is accomplished by the Surgebinder continuing to act in line with the attributes that attracted the spren in the first place, and swearing [[Immortal Words|oaths]] that are related to those attributes.{{book ref|sa1|67}} As the bond grows stronger, the spren regains their sapience, and the effectiveness of Stormlight for the Surgebinder increases. Once the bond is at sufficient strength, the spren can manifest as a [[Shardblade]],{{book ref|sa2|84}} and the eye color of the Surgebinder changes into the color their spren is associated with.{{book ref|sa2|87}}
