Once the bond is established, the spren is pulled more and more into the Physical Realm, although they retain very little of their intelligence and memories and act very much like the lesser spren at the beginning until the bond grows stronger.{{ref|b|sa2|c|3}} The strengthening of the bond is accomplished by the person 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.{{ref|b|sa1|c|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]],{{ref|b|sa2|c|84}} and the eye color of the Surgebinder changes into the color their spren is associated with.{{ref|b|sa2|c|87}}
If the Surgebinder acts in a manner conflicting with his oaths, the bond grows weaker until, eventually, the spren "breaks" and gets trapped in an agony cycle after having a significant portion of its consciousness ripped out of it,{{
=== Stormlight ===
Surgebinding requires constant Stormlight as a fuel source, which the Surgebinder can draw by breathing in.{{ref|b|sa2|c|59}} While it is possible to draw the Stormlight from any source infused with it, including directly from the [[highstorm]]s themselves, the common practice is to use [[spheres|gemstone]]s that have already been infused by the highstorms. Human bodies are imperfect containers for the Stormlight, so the Stormlight leaves the Surgebinder's body over time, giving him a glowing effect with luminescent white vapor. Breathing out accelerates this leaving, but Stormlight substitutes for oxygen so the Surgebinder does not need to breathe.{{ref|b|sa1|prologue}} The more Stormlight the Surgebinder holds, the faster it leaks out of the body.{{ref|b|sa2|c|2}}
Aside from being a fuel source, Stormlight also increases the physical capabilities of the Surgebinder's body to far beyond regular human levels. The Surgebinder gains superhuman strength, speed, endurance, stamina, and healing of both body and soul. They can survive falls hundreds of feet, and stand up right away, the damage immediately being healed by Stormlight. Almost any kind of injury can be healed, including bad eyesight, scar tissues, or Spiritual damage done by a Shardblade.{{ref|b|sa2|c|33}} This healing is based upon the Cognitive identity of the Surgebinder, as such if a soldier sees the scars on his body, for example, as a part of his self, Stormlight does not heal those scars.{{
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 runs out of Stormlight, he is left exhausted and feeling deflated.{{ref|b|sa1|c||66}}
=== Cohesion ===
{{icon|cohesion|s|link=|75px|right}}
Cohesion Surge can be manipulated by the Surgebinder alter objects at a molecular level; for example, a Surgebinder can push his hand into a table and leave a permanent handprint.{{
