Even as Kaladin's mental state continued to deteriorate, Syl still insisted that Dalinar could be trusted and that Kaladin should open up to him, especially after learning about [[Moash]]'s plot to kill [[Elhokar]].{{book ref|sa2|41}}{{book ref|sa2|44}} Eventually, after a successful training in the chasms that saw Kaladin learn how to fly, and her sharing more information about Surgebinding, he was almost convinced, but his motivation evaporated when he saw that Dalinar made Amaram the head of the new Knights Radiant.{{book ref|sa2|52}}{{book ref|sa2|55}} Syl still managed to convince him that things would be different during [[Adolin]]'s four-on-one duel.

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 while in the Physical Realm.{{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]].

Syl attempted to return to Kaladin, but the Stormfather prevented her and complained of her disobedience,{{book ref|sa2|83}} revealing he had been sheltering her, in an attempt to protect her from actually dying. However, the Nahel bond had regained enough strength for her to speak in Kaladin's mind, encouraging him to say the Words. He did so, and once he swore the Third Ideal, the Stormfather could no longer prevent Syl from returning to the Physical Realm. She returned as a ribbon of light and then as a [[Shardblade]], and Kaladin regained his powers.{{book ref|sa2|84}}

After scaring off Moash and [[Graves]], the two set out to protect [[Dalinar]] from [[Szeth]], who was attacking in the chaos of the [[Battle of Narak]].{{book ref|sa2|85}} In the ensuing fight, she showcased her ability to transform into many different weapons, culminating with Kaladin using her to slice through Szeth's wrist, breaking his tie to the [[Honorblade]]. After making sure that Kaladin took the Blade with him, Syl demanded -- and received -- a smile from him.{{book ref|sa2|87}}
