==== Nahel Bond ====
'''Nahel bond''' is a symbiotic relationship between humans and spren, with which the human gains Surgebinding powers and the spren gains sapience in the [[Physical Realm]].{{ref|b|sa2|c|17}} The spren choose the people they bond with by the actions and the personalities of the people.{{ref|17s ref|7058|post|116818|text=Chicago Signing, 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.{{ref|b|sa2|c|1}}
 
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}}
