Bonds are connections between entities in the [[Cosmere]] that exist outside the [[Physical Realm]]. Depending on the Shard world, its type, and its constituent entities, the Bond will provide different things. Bonds are typically formed between entities with greater-than-normal [[Investiture]](i.e. [[Spren]]) and other entities, allowing them to gain enhancements of some form. It is unknown if a person with only innate [[Investiture]] is able to create a Bond.{{qa ref|1076|27|Do all humans have innate investiture?|date= Mar 6th, 2014}} Bonds are not limited to connections of entities with greater-than-normal [[Investiture]] to innately invested entities; they can also be made between two entities with greater-than-normal [[Investiture]].{{qa ref|1113|2|Can Nightblood Bond Spren?|date= Aug 4th, 2014}}
== Types of known Bonding Entities ==
'''Spren''': Entities of the [[Cognitive Realm]]
'''Sapient Awakened entities in an inorganic host''': Intelligent inorganic entities created through the use of [[Breath]].
'''Seons''': Intelligent entities with connections to [[AonDor]]
'''Aviar''': Birds infested with symbiotic worms native to the [[Pantheon]]
== Bonds By Shard World ==
'''The Nahel Bond''': This Bond is between a human and a [[Spren]]. The [[Nahel Bond]] Provides access to the System of magic known as [[Surgebinding]] to the human, while granting intelligence to the Spren. There are ten known forms the [[Nahel Bond]] can take, each giving access to two different [[Surge]]s. See [[Surgebinding]] and [[Nahel Bond]] for more information.
'''Listener Bond''': The Listeners ([[Parshendi]]) can bond a with Spren, and this grants the Listeners a Form (physical and mental change). Not all Spren grant a unique Form most Spren give the listeners Dull Form. Without a Spren [[Listener]]s exist in what is known as Slaveform ([[Parshmen]]). [[Listener]]s in Slaveform have very little mental capacity and are extremely docile. Dullform Gives more free will and a small increase in mental capacity, Slave and Dull Form are physically similar. [[Listener]]s can not become [[Surgebinder]]s but Forms of power exist that grant abnormal abilities to the [[Listener]]s. See [[Listener]] for more information on Forms.
'''Shard blade''': [[Shardblade]]s are able to bond with people through the use of charged gemstones. The gem is placed in the hilt of the blade and after a week of constant contact the blade is bonded, and can be dismissed from and recalled to the [[Physical Realm]]. Once bonded the blade can be dismissed and recalled by syncing with the user's heart to the blade, ten heart beats are required. A person's iris will lighten during the bonding process. [[Surgebinding]] is not granted by this bond.
'''Void Bonds''': Nothing is known at this time about [[Voidbinding]].
'''Lesser Spren Bonds''': Non-intelligent Spren are able to form bonds with humans{{qa ref|1044|12|Can any Spren bond even if they do not create a knights Radient?|date= Mar 24th, 2014}} This Bond does not grant [[Surgebinding]].
'''Other Spren Bonds''': Certain spren bond with native life on Roshar enhancing them and granting ability to the animals. Confirmed animals to have these bonds are Chasm Fiends, chulls, and Sky eels.
'''Honorblades''': Do not bond with humans in the way that Shard blades do.{{cite}}
=== Sel Bonds ===
'''Seons''': A [[Seon]] is able to create Bonds with people and [[Elantrian]]s. Little is known of this Bond other than that the [[Seon]] follows and helps the person it is bonded too, functioning in a servant position to the owner of the bond. This Bond does not provide an innate ability to find the human connected to the [[Seon]]. [[Seon]]s will automaticaly seek out a new person to bond with following the death of its master; often the new master has been prearranged. During the time of the [[Reod]] while the [[Shaod]] was unable to finish forming an [[Elantrian]] from a human, any [[Seon]] Bonded to a [[Elantrian]] lost its mind and would float around the city, often near their master. This Bond grants new unknown powers to the members of the Bond while on [[Roshar]] and is very similar to a [[Nahel Bond]]. {{qa ref|1037|11|Is the bond between a Seon and its master similar to the Nahel Bond between a Surgebinder and his spren?|date= Oct 1st, 2013}} {{qa ref|1048|25|If an Elantrian bonded to a Seon and traveled to Roshar, would that act as a Nahel bond?|date= Mar 20th, 2014}}
=== First of the Sun Bonds ===
'''Aviar''': [[Aviar]]'s create a bond with a person and grant a specific power based of the type of Aviar bonded. Aviar are granted their ability if raised on one of the pantheon islands and consume a worm native to the island. See [[Aviar]] for more information. Has no known effect on Roshar.
'''Other Worm Infected Animals''' Other Birds besides native island [[Aviar]] are able to eat the worms and create a Bond with a new effect (i.e. Sak). It is unknown if eating the worms will grant new abilities to other non bird animals.
=== Nalthis Bonds ===
'''Sentient Awakened Entities in an Inorganic Host''': Only known entity of this kind is [[Nightblood]]. [[Nightblood]] is a sentient sword made using 1000 breath and the command to destroy evil. It makes a bond with anyone with whom, it wishes to communicate, and it is able to read and speak with minds directly. {{qa ref|1037|8|How is it that Nightblood, who is merely a near-sentient awakened object, was able to read minds, something a Shard like Ruin was unable to do?|date= Oct 1st, 2013}} Distance appears to be a factor, but this may be a limitation of the mind of [[Nightblood]] and not its ability. [[Nightblood]], while idle, reaches out to other people ether repulsing them with great nausea, even inducing vomiting if they attempt to draw the blade, or creating a desire to use the blade. Anyone who is able to wield [[Nightblood]] and survive, Bonds with the blade to a greater degree and is no longer repelled by or abnormally drawn to use it.{{wob ref|7404}} Those unable to control [[Nightblood]] are controlled by it, in effect [[Nightblood]] wields them killing everyone around and absorbing all of the [[Investiture]] from the victim including the spark of life(i.e. the soul).This bond may grant additional powers on Roshar.{{qa ref|1076|34|Nightblood is a shardblade|date= Mar 6th, 2014}}
=== Scadrial Bonds ===
No Bonds are known of on this shard world.
Of note is that by using [[Hemalurgy]], Bonds my be stolen and given to a new person.{{qa ref|1076|19|Hemalurgy affects all Magic systems|date= Mar 6th, 2014 }}
{{qa ref|977|42|Hemalurgy can steal a Shard blade bond.|date= Sep, 2012 }}
'''
== The Known effect of Bonds while on other Shard worlds ==
'''
Bonds created using [[Investiture]] from each [[Shard]] have unknown effects when used away from their home Shard world.
=== Roshar ===
It has been confirmed that at least one Bond other than the [[Nahel Bond]] will provide powers to the constituent entities of that Bond, what these powers are is unknown, and will not be of the ten [[Surge]]s. At this time only the Seon Bond is confirmed to do this, as the Nahel bond and the Seon bond are very similar. {{qa ref|1048|25|If an Elantrian bonded to a [[Seon]] and traveled to Roshar, would that act as a Nahel bond?|date= Mar 20th, 2014}}
