Like other larger spren, Syl can change her form and choose who to show herself to, making her an excellent spy.{{book ref|sa3|97}} She can float or fly through the air, as well as walk sideways, and is particularly good at finding things.{{book ref|sa1|55}} She can also use [[Adhesion]] to stick things together. She generally uses this to play pranks on people, though she has also applied this ability to assist people.{{book ref|sa1|2}}{{book ref|sa3|77}} She's also, like all [[honorspren]], able to sense an oncoming [[highstorm]] days prior.{{book ref|sa3|20}}
=== Meeting Kaladin ===

Leaving [[Shadesmar]] made Syl lose most of her cognitive ability. She became mostly mindless, acting much like her cousins, [[windspren]].{{book ref|sa1|2}}{{wob ref|4071}} However, she didn't forget her desire to accompany Kaladin, and followed him closly throughout his time in Amaram's army, during his battle with [[Helaran Davar]], and, later, as he was a slave. Initially, she only played pranks on him, but in time his proximity began to return her mind and intelligence.{{book ref|sa1|2}}{{book ref|sa1|57}}
She did not speak to Kaladin until he found and kept the leaves of [[blackbane]], a strong poison. Kaladin was
Reminded of how Kaladin felt hope when he found blackbane, and unaware of its purpose, Syl left to look for more of the plant. By the time she returned, Kaladin was on the verge of suicide, and she found him standing on the edge of the [[Honor Chasm]]. When she finally managed, with significant difficulty, to bring him the leaf, Kaladin was

=== Death and Rebirth ===
After Kaladin was arrested, Syl was disappointed and subdued.{{book ref|sa2|57}} Soon, Kaladin began to abandon his Oaths in his mind, causing her to begin losing her sapience.{{book ref|sa2|64}} She became more childlike and easily distracted, losing her bond with Kaladin to the point where he could not draw upon [[Stormlight]]. Nonetheless, she retained enough presence of mind to remind him to say the words, and to provide him with one last breath of Stormlight when he fell into the chasms.{{book ref|sa2|68}}{{book ref|sa2|69}} It was then that she died, the strain on her bond too great to continue.{{book ref|sa2|74}}
=== The True Desolation ===

|The bond isn't about what’s right and wrong, is it, Syl. It’s about what '''you see''' as right and wrong.
This fun ended when Syl and Kaladin came across a group of former [[Parshmen]], and Kaladin willingly gave himself up to see where this would go.{{book ref|sa3|14}} Noticing that there was a [[voidspren]] accompanying the group, Syl began to act like a windspren again in order to fool her.{{book ref|sa3|17}} This being said, as [[Yixli]] wasn't always present with the newly-minted [[singer]]s, she did have the time to discuss matters with Kaladin. During one such conversation, she admitted that she didn't know why killing singers didn't feel wrong to her when killing humans did.{{book ref|sa3|20}}
The two eventually departed in a [[highstorm]] after seeing a [[Fused]] in [[Rathalas]].{{book ref|sa3|31}} Once back in [[Urithiru]], Kaladin focused on training his squires, with Syl accompanying him. At one point, she noticed some of her old [[honorspren]] acquaintances, and noted that they were not very fond of her, even though they had also began searching for bondmates.{{book ref|sa3|37}}
Once in Shadesmar, Syl had a humanoid, and human-sized form, and began acting more like a physical creature.{{book ref|sa3|87}} Early on, her focus was on keeping Kaladin functioning in the face of his ongoing mental breakdown caused by the events of the palace battle.{{book ref|sa3|89}} Eventually, he felt good enough to ask her if she could carry a message to Dalinar, and she explained that she would lose her mind if she strayed too far from him in the [[Physical Realm]].{{book ref|sa3|91}}
During the journey south, towards a ship that could take them to [[Cultivation's Perpendicularity]], Syl shared some of the story of her past with Kaladin.{{book ref|sa3|95}} After they got aboard the [[Reacher]]s ship, she also mentioned that honorspren like her were not well-liked among other sapient spren, though she played it off by trying to get Kaladin and Shallan together.{{book ref|sa3|99}} It wasn't until the group began exploring the city of [[Celebrant]] that she finally revealed that there was a bounty on her head placed by her kin.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
