|I'm behind what is happening to you. I'm doing it. It's both of us. But without me, nothing would be changing in you. I'm . . . taking something from you. And giving something in return.

As an honorspren, Syl has the capacity to bond with people, gaining higher sentience in the [[Physical Realm]] in exchange for granting her partner -- currently, [[Kaladin]] -- [[Windrunner]] abilities, including the [[Surge]]s of Adhesion and [[Gravitation]].{{book ref|sa1|57}} Beyond that, once her Surgebinder reaches the Third Oath, she is able to transform into a living, shape-shifting Shardblade. In this form, she's capable of communicating with [[Kaladin]] telepathically.{{book ref|sa2|86}}
 
However, there is a downside to this bond. When Kaladin strays from his Oaths and break them, Syl begins to lose her higher mental functions, to the point where she essentially dies.{{book ref|sa2|64}}{{book ref|sa2|69}} However, she is brought back once Kaladin returns to the path of the Windrunner and swears the Third Oath.{{book ref|sa2|84}}

|The bond isn't about what’s right and wrong, is it, Syl. It’s about what '''you see''' as right and wrong.
 
[[Relador]] is the first man Syl bonded as a [[Windrunner]].{{book ref|sa4|i|1}} He died shortly before the events of the [[Recreance]], sending Syl into a catatonic state. Because of this, she avoided the fate of the majority of her kinsmen, who became [[deadeye]]s.{{book ref|sa4|87}} When [[Dalinar]] [[Connection|Connects]] her to her past, Syl begins experiencing grief over this loss. This helps her understand Kaladin better.{{book ref|sa4|63}}

|Without you, I'd be as dumb as a rock. And without me you’d fly like one. I think we’re better off not worrying about what we could do without the other. Besides, what would I do if I caught her? '''Glare''' at her? I need you for the stabby-stabby part.
