==== Nahel Bond ==== ~~the~~The '''Nahel bond''' is a symbiotic relationship between humans and spren, ~~with~~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 byaccording to the actions and ~~the~~ personalities of ~~the~~those people.{{17s ref\|post\|116818\|text=Chicago Signing\|date=Mar 22, 2014}} 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 of their intelligence and memories and act very much like the 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 once they are ready.{{book ref\|sa1\|67}} As the bond grows stronger, the spren regain their sapience, and the effectiveness of the 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}} If the Surgebinder acts in a manner conflicting with their oaths, the bond grows weaker until, eventually, the spren "breaks" and is trapped in an agony cycle after having a significant portion of its consciousness ripped out of it,{{17s ref\|topic\|6605\|Seattle, WA Signing\|date=Mar 08, 2014}} and the bondmate loses their Surgebinding powers.{{book ref\|sa2\|69}} If the spren "breaks" while in Shardblade form, it reverts to its basic sword form,{{17s ref\|post\|110173\|text=Houston Signing\|date=Mar 11, 2014}} and can be temporarily revived by being linked to the heartbeat of a person to be used. The spren do not "unbreak" on their own,{{book ref\|sa2\|17}} but can be brought back to life if their bondmates takes up their oaths again.{{book ref\|sa2\|84}} It is technically possible, but extremely difficult, for a spren to be healed without their bondmate.{{17s ref\|topic\|6605}} The Surgebinder dying without betraying his oaths is a very traumatic event for the spren, but it does not cause them to be broken.{{17s ref\|post\|116818}}
