Teft was the first to suspect Kaladin might be able to use [[stormlight]], saving Kaladin's life in the process. He learned this by (amongst other things) pushing a dun [[spheres|sphere]] into Kaladin's hand, claiming it to be "For luck" just before Kaladin was to be left outside alone to face "the judgement of the [[Stormfather]]" by way of the [[highstorm]]. After the storm the sphere Kaladin had been given appeared to still be dun, even though it should have been infused with light by the highstorm it was left outside during, leading Teft to muse, "An empty sphere after a storm, he thought. And a man who's still alive when he should be dead. Two impossibilities." That meant Kaladin had "stolen" the light that infused the sphere, which left Teft almost certain that Kaladin had the ability to [[infuse]] stormlight and that Kaladin was part of the events the [[Envisagers]] had been waiting for. When Kaladin was recovering from his wounds and fever after the highstorm, Teft brought three small infused diamond spheres and pressed them into Kaladin's hand, waiting anxiously to see what would happen. When Teft had nearly lost hope of being right about the events and their meaning, Kaladin drew in a short powerful breath infusing himself with stormlight and began to glow from the leaking stormlight. Teft knowing there was a healing effect to the stormlight repeated this treatment enough as to not draw suspicion from the other bridgemen, and ten days after the hanging in the highstorm, Kaladin arose.
These revelations sparked a heavy curiosity in Teft, prompting questions that indirectly asked if Kaladin was willing to discuss his use of stormlight, or if he was aware of his own abilities. At one point, Kaladin was handed a bag of infused spheres, Teft then threw a surprise punch at Kaladin to cause a reflexive infusion, which worked, and led both Kaladin and [[Lopen]] to notice the soft glow coming from Kaladin's skin. Not to mention Kaladin realizing his familiar surge of strength and focus. After time passed and they were both certain of Kaladin's abilities. Teft with the aid of Lopen, (seeing as he had become privy to the secret) and to some degree [[Syl]], worked with Kaladin to help understand and trigger his new found powers. {{ref|b|twok|c|38}} He shared with Kaladin what he knew about Radiants and their ways, from his youth in the Envisagers. He was also the one to tell Kaladin the words of [the first ideal]. Kaladin seemed to almost (weatherwhether by instinct or experience is not clear) understand the meaning and reasoning behind the words, and once spoke them just before infusing himself with stormlight. Later, after Kaladin spoke [the second ideal] and a thundercrack like sound was heard, Teft understood it to be something in the world changing.{{ref|b|twok|c|43}}
 
During his many conversations with Kaladin he stated time and again he isn't to be trusted. Either due to the events that lead to the fall of the Envisagers, or some other unknown event.
