== Abilities ==

=== [[Full Lashing]] ===

'''Full Lashing''' temporarily creates an extremely powerful bond between two objects. To use this ability, the Surgebinder infuses an object with Stormlight, then presses another object to it. Most object would break apart before the bond holding them together would.{{ref|b|twok|ars}}

=== [[Basic Lashing]] ===

'''Basic Lashing''' 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. Advance user of Basic Lashing can make himself or herself lighter by binding only a portion of his or her mass upward. Binding a quarter of one's mass upward effectively halves that person's weight. Similarly, it is possible to use multiple Basic Lashings to make a being's effective weight higher.{{ref|b|twok|ars}}

 

 

=== [[Lightweaving]] ===

'''Lightweaving''' deals with illusions.{{ref|?|692|12|But, if you find a way to do illusion magic in one of my worlds it's going to work pretty much like Lightweaving, regardless of which planet you're on.}}

=== [[Soulcasting]] ===

'''Soulcasting''' transforms any material into one of Surgebinder's choice. Transforming something into the pure form of an [[Ten Essences|Essence]] is quite easy.{{ref|b|twok|c|72}} Soulcasting requires the corresponding gemstone for the Essence the Surgebinder is trying to transform into. Soulcasting something into blood, for example, requires a garnet infused with Stormlight.{{cite}} The process may leave the gemstone shattered, although the larger the gemstone the less likely it is for that to happen.{{ref|b|twok|c|15}} The mass of an object remains the same when it is Soulcast.{{ref|b|twok|c|5}} It may not be possible to create gemstones with Soulcasting.{{ref|b|twok|c|33}}
