=== Shardwielding and Surgebinding ===
As a Herald, Talenel has access to his [[Honorblade]], a magical sword given to him by the [[Shard]] [[Honor]]. Like all [[Shardblade]]s, it's able to cut through any material, effortlessly. This allowed Taln to be a formidable foe on the battlefield, particularly against [[thunderclast]]s, as his Blade can cut their stone flesh easier than anything else. Having spent centuries using the Honorblade in the fight against the [[Voidbringers]], Taln was likely highly experienced in its use. In fact, Stormfather considers him to be undisputably the greatest duelist among all Heralds.{{book ref|sa4|111}}
Unlike most Shardblades, the Honorblade also granted Taln access to the [[Surge]]s of [[Surgebinding#Cohesion|Cohesion]] and [[Surgebinding#Tension|Tension]]. Unlike the [[Knights Radiant]], he had no need for [[Stormlight]], as his Surgebinding was powered directly by Honor.{{wob ref|1572}} It's unknown if this has been impacted by Honor's death. What his Surges did is unclear at this point.
