=== Adhesion ===
The Surge of [[Adhesion ]] can be manipulated to bind things together.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} The two orders of Knights Radiant with access to this Surge are the Bondsmiths and the Windrunners. ▼{{icon|adhesion|s|link=|75px|right}}

{{anchor|Full Lashing}}
* '''Full Lashing''': This ability creates an extremely powerful temporary bond between two objects. To use this ability, the Surgebinder infuses a surface with Stormlight, after which any object or person that comes in contact with the surface will be bound to it. Full Lashing does not necessarily require skin contact; surfaces can be infused by "spraying" the Stormlight onto them.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} Most objects would break apart themselves before the bond holding them would.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} The duration of this bond is determined by the amount of Stormlight infused. A Full Lashing can be powerful enough to bend the path of bullets.{{wob ref|3523}} The bond also attracts [[bindspren]].{{book ref|sa2|12}}
* '''Spiritual Adhesion''': Adhesion can be used by a [[Bondsmith]] to establish a [[Connection]] to someone in order to, at least, speak their language.{{book ref|sa3|65}} The full extent of this power is unclear, or whether [[Windrunner|Windrunners]] can use Adhesion in this fashion.
=== Gravitation ===
The Surge of [[Gravitation ]] can be manipulated to change the direction and strength of an object's gravitational attraction.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} The two orders of Knights Radiant with access to this Surge are the Windrunners and the Skybreakers. ▼{{icon|gravitation|s|link=|75px|right}}

{{anchor|Basic Lashing}}
* '''Basic Lashing''': This ability alters an object's or being's spiritual gravitational bond to the planet below, instead temporarily linking it to a different object or direction. It allows the Surgebinder to run up walls, send objects or people flying off into the air. Lashings only affects gravitational pull and not mass, so different things with different masses will still fall at the same speed.{{wob ref|5907}} Lashings can only send something in a particular direction and can not be locked into following an object.{{wob ref|3848}} Surgebinders can rotate themselves in the air using wind resistance.{{wob ref|8250}} Advanced users of Basic Lashing can employ partial Lashings—a half Lashing upward, for example, would make the Surgebinder effectively weightless, while a quarter Lashing would halve the person's weight.{{book ref|sa1|part=ars}} It is also possible to use multiple Basic Lashings simultaneously so that the infused object or being will be pulled toward different directions at once or pulled toward a single direction but stronger than gravity normally would.{{book ref|sa2|52}} Basic Lashing requires skin contact if the Surgebinder is trying to infuse an external object or being.{{book ref|sa2|85}} Basic Lashing continually consumes the Stormlight with which the object is infused until the object runs out of Stormlight or the Surgebinder dismisses their Lashing; so the length of Basic Lashing is dependent on the amount of Stormlight used.{{book ref|sa2|41}}

{{anchor|Reverse Lashing}}
* '''Reverse Lashing''': This ability creates a bubble around a surface that imitates its spiritual link to the ground beneath it. In effect, this makes the infused object pull other objects towards itself. It is much harder for Reverse Lashing to affect objects touching the ground, where their link to the planet is strongest. Objects falling or in flight are the easiest to influence. Other objects can be affected, but the Stormlight and skill required are much more substantial. This ability is believed to be a specialized version of Basic Lashing.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} Reverse Lashing requires constant skin contact for it to work, though it consumes comparatively little Stormlight.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}}
=== Division ===
The Surge of [[Division ]] can be manipulated to have power over destruction and decay.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} The two orders of Knights Radiant with access to this Surge are the Dustbringers and the Skybreakers. ▼{{icon|division|s|link=|75px|right}}

{{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}}

=== Abrasion ===
The Surge of [[Abrasion ]] can be manipulated to alter the frictional force between two surfaces.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} The two orders of Knights Radiant with access to this Surge are the Dustbringers and the Edgedancers. ▼{{icon|abrasion|s|link=|75px|right}}

{{anchor|Slicking}}<!-- let it stay Slicking until we know the correct name -->
* '''Slicking''': This ability allows the Surgebinder to make their body frictionless. The Surgebinder can choose which parts of the body are affected and which parts are not. For example, the bottom of the feet can be infused so that the Surgebinder glides over any surface without losing momentum until the ability is suspended.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} Wind friction can also be affected. However, this would not reduce the force of direct collisions.{{book ref|sa2.5|1}} It was described as having some resemblance to ice skating.{{book ref|sa3|120}}
=== Progression ===
The Surge of [[Progression ]] can be manipulated to alter the growth and healing of organisms.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} The two orders of Knights Radiant with access to this Surge are the Edgedancers and the Truthwatchers. ▼{{icon|progression|s|link=|75px|right}}

{{anchor|Growth}}
* '''Growth''': This ability accelerates organic growth to tremendous speeds. The Surgebinder can infuse the seeds to a plant with Stormlight through skin contact, and in seconds, it will become fully developed. It is unknown if this ability only works on plants.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}
{{anchor|Regrowth}}
* '''Regrowth''': This ability heals the damage done to the body and the soul of a person instantly and without any scarring. The flesh, muscle, or bones can be completely regrown rapidly. The body can be refreshed and rid of fatigue.{{book ref|sa1|19}} The Surgebinder can even reverse death with Regrowth; a body that has bled out or a soul that has been severed with a Shardblade can be healed with Regrowth and continue to function as if it has never been damaged.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} However, once the soul leaves the body and reaches the afterlife, it is impossible for the Surgebinder to revive the person.{{book ref|sa2|88}} This ability may also fail to heal injuries that are too old.{{book ref|sa3|Interlude|13}}
=== Illumination ===
The Surge of [[Illumination ]] can be manipulated to create auditory and visual illusions.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} The two orders of Knights Radiant with access to this Surge are the Lightweavers and the Truthwatchers. ▼{{for|Lightweaving|more information about the original Yolish variant of this ability}}

▲The Surge of Illumination can be manipulated to create auditory and visual illusions.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} The two orders of Knights Radiant with access to this Surge are the Lightweavers and the Truthwatchers.
{{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 of the Surgebinder, the glowing effect common to the Surgebinders as the Stormlight leaks out of their bodies does not happen, and instead is fed to the illusion. Unless the Surgebinder intentionally dissolves the illusion, it will stay active until the Surgebinder runs out of Stormlight or leaves the proximity of the illusion. It is 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 the movements of the being to which it is attached. This way, an illusion of disguise, for example, that the Surgebinder attached to themselves would mimic the facial expressions of the Surgebinder and 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, for example a [[sphere]]. The illusory image has no substance to it, and if an object physically passes through the illusion, the image temporarily fuzzes to Stormlight until it is reestablished once the object withdraws.{{book ref|sa2|42}} [[Lightweavers]] may possess the ability to combine their Lightweaving with their Soulcasting in order to offset this disadvantage. Light itself does not pass through the illusion; if the Surgebinder wants to be able to see the outside while hiding inside the illusion, they must put holes to see on the image. 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 Yolish [[Lightweaving|variant]],{{book ref|sa2|45}} as it requires a spren or Stormlight to function.{{wob ref|8909}} Yolish Lightweaving does not always seem to function perfectly on Roshar,{{wob ref|9346}} and Yolish Lightweavers may need help from Rosharan Lightweavers to fully craft an illusion.{{book ref|sa3|82}} A Yolish Lightweaver is able to guide a Rosharan Lightweaver's power.{{wob ref|9346}} Gaining Rosharan Lightweaving allows for some supplemental ability with Yolish Lightweaving,{{wob ref|8473}} and could allow Yolish Lightweavers to overcome the issue of crafting illusions on Roshar, although further impacts or [[resonance]]s between the two are unknown.{{wob ref|8664}} Rosharan Lightweaving has a compounding effect with Yolish Lightweaving, and likely allows Yolish Lightweavers to circumvent the problems they can experience with Yolish Lightweaving.{{wob ref|8473}}

=== Transformation ===
The Surge of [[Transformation ]] can be manipulated to change an object into one of the ten essences.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} The two orders of Knights Radiant with access to this Surge are the Elsecallers and the Lightweavers. ▼{{icon|transformation|s|link=|75px|right}}
▲The Surge of Transformation can be manipulated to change an object into one of the ten essences.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} The two orders of Knights Radiant with access to this Surge are the Elsecallers and the Lightweavers.
{{anchor|Soulcasting}}
* '''Soulcasting''': This ability transforms any material into one of the Surgebinder's choice. To Soulcast, the Surgebinder shifts their perception to see into the [[Cognitive Realm]], and communicates with the Cognitive aspect of the object they want to transform. Not every object is inclined to change, depending on how the object is seen by the sentient species and how it sees itself, so the Surgebinder may need to negotiate with it. Once the object is convinced into changing, the Surgebinder infuses it with Stormlight, and the transformation process takes place instantaneously.{{book ref|sa2|7}} It is technically possible for the Surgebinder to transform anything into anything else, but transforming something into the pure form of an [[Ten Essences|Essence]] is the easiest to accomplish, while transforming the object into something unfamiliar is a lot harder.{{book ref|sa1|72}} Soulcasting requires the corresponding gemstone for the Essence the Surgebinder is trying to transform into, so Soulcasting something into blood, for example, requires an infused garnet.{{wob ref|2784}} Draining the Stormlight from the gemstone can sometimes shatter the gemstone; the larger the gemstone the less likely it is for that to happen.{{book ref|sa1|15}} The object's mass is conserved through the Soulcasting process.{{book ref|sa1|5}} It may not be possible to create gemstones with Soulcasting.{{book ref|sa1|33}}
=== Transportation ===

{{anchor|Elsecalling}}
* '''Elsecalling''': This ability allows the Surgebinder to travel in between Realms. Doing this creates a miniature [[perpendicularity]].{{wob ref|1525}} A circular wall of Stormlight can be seen briefly at the target location before the Surgebinder arrives.{{book ref|sa2|epilogue}} The Surgebinder can also bring other beings and objects with them while transporting themselves.{{epigraph ref|sa2|53}} This allows many Surgebinders with Transportation the ability to [[worldhop]].{{wob ref|655}} It is much harder to leave the Cognitive Realm than it is to enter it. The Surgebinder needs to find a point where the Physical and Cognitive Realm touch to leave.{{wob ref|5758}}{{book ref|sa3|33}}
=== Cohesion ===
Also called the Surge of Strong Axial Interconnection,{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} the Surge of [[Cohesion ]] can be manipulated to alter objects at a molecular level.{{wob ref|6061}} This allows the user to alter the shape of solid objects. The two orders of Knights Radiant with access to this surge are the Willshapers and the Stonewards. ▼{{icon|cohesion|s|link=|75px|right}}

=== Tension ===
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 Surge are the Stonewards and the Bondsmiths. ▼{{icon|tension|s|link=|75px|right}}

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 Surge of [[Adhesion]]. {{book ref|sa3|59}}
