m (→Transformation: 1. Most of this information is already on the Soulcasting page, and this paragraph is already monstrously long; hence deleting, since we have a "for" at the top for a reason; 2. That last part strikes me as unrelated to soulcasting, as Reachers are likewise capable of manifesting a "soul") |

* '''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 Essence is the easiest to accomplish, while transforming the object into something unfamiliar is a lot harder.{{book ref|sa1|72
