A common type of spren that appear around people looking forward to something. They appear as red streamers that grow out from the ground and blow in the wind. They often appear around soldiers directly before a battle.{{ref|b|sa1|c|6}}
===Awespren===
{{quote| A single awespren, like a ring of blue smoke, burst out above him, spreading like the ripple from a stone dropped in a pond.|Words of Radiance: Chapter Seventy-Eight{{ref|b|sa2|c|78}}}}
An extremely rare type of spren that appear around people feeling awe. They appear as rings of blue smoke that spread out from the individual, like ripples in water.{{ref|b|sa2|c|78}}
===Bindspren===
{{quote| He thought he could faintly make out tiny spren, dark blue and shaped like little splashes of ink, clustering around the place where the rock met the wall.| The Way of Kings: Chapter Fifty-Seven{{ref|b|sa1|c|57}}}}
Spren that appear around objects bound with a [[Full Lashing]]. They are appear as small splashes of dark blue, or purple, ink.<ref group=fn>[https://twitter.com/PeterAhlstrom/status/428745968599588864| Bindspren are described as dark blue in ''The Way of Kings'' but as purple in ''Words of Radiance''. The variation in color may be a result of differences in lighting between the two sightings.]</ref>Their relationship to the Lashings is not fully understood. Kaladin believes they are what hold the objects together, while Sylphrena disagrees, saying they are attracted to the Full Lashing Kaladin had created.{{ref|b|sa1|c|57}}
===Captivityspren===▼
{{quote|He stood, waving away some strange spren like taut wires crossing before him...| Words of Radiance: Chapter Sixty-Two{{ref|b|sa2|c|62}}}}
An apparently rare type of spren that appear around people being imprisoned against their will. They appear like taut wires stretched across the area the person is confined to.{{ref|b|sa2|62}} Axies the Collector has spent years attempting to observe them, unsuccessfully.{{ref|b|sa1|i|5}} A theory as to why this may be the case is that due to the fact that he is actively searching them out, he does not feel emotions necessary to attract them.
===Coldspren===
A type of spren mentioned in [[Navani's notebook]]. They can be captured in gems of a certain cut and used in fabrial machines.{{ref|[[:File:Navani1.jpg| Navani's Notebook: One]]}}
===Comet Spren</ref group=fn ref name=notcanon>===
A type of spren about which very little is currently known
===Creationspren===
An uncommon type of spren that appear around creative acts such as painting or drawing. They are of medium-size, about finger-length, and glow with a silvery light. They take the form of objects they have recently seen exactly but move them in odd ways, such as a table that rolls like a wheel.{{ref|b|sa1|c|7}}
When drawing, the more skilled one is, the more likely creationspren are to appear.{{ref|b|sa1|c|7}} The number of creationspren that appear relates to the difficulty of the creation. When [[Shallan Davar]] draws her spren, a [[Cryptic]] named [[Pattern]], whose form is an incredibly complex and detailed design, for the first time, she draws hundreds of creationspren.{{ref|b|sa2|c|3}}
Creationspren seem to be held in low regard by the Cryptics. Pattern dismisses them because they do not ''do'' anything, merely observe and admire. Where most spren have a purpose, creationspren are only attracted to another's purpose.{{ref|b|sa2|c|78}}
===Cryptics===
{{for|Cryptic|more information}}
A type of sentient spren connected to the [[Knights Radiant]] [[Order of Lightweavers]]. When Nahel Bonded, they grant access to the Surges of Illumination and Transformation.
In the Cognitive Realm they have the appearance of figures in robes that hang "too stiffly" as if they were "made of glass" and instead of heads they have a floating symbol full of "impossible angles and geometries."{{ref|b|sa1|c|29}} In the Physical Realm they manifest as an ever-changing fractal pattern that is an approximation of its "head" in the Cognitive Realm, in a similar way to how a circle with a few lines can approximate a human face. This pattern usually manifests as an embossing that moves across objects two-dimensionally, however they can bring themselves into three dimensions where they form a ball of dark lines.{{ref|b|sa2|c|3}}{{ref|b|sa2|c|6}} They cannot disappear completely from sight unlike other some other sub-types of spren.{!{cite}}
===Cusicesh===
{{for|Cusicesh|more information}}
A unique spren, the only known member of its sub-type, that appears in [[Kasitor]] Bay at the same time each day. It is one of the largest known spren. For ten minutes each day Cusicesh rises from the waters and forms a face that is constantly changing that faces the [[Origin]].{{ref|b|sa1|i|5}}

▲===Captivityspren===
===Dawnsingers===
According to the ardent [[Kabsal]], the [[Dawnsingers]] were "kindly spren sent by the Almighty" to care for mankind after being expelled from the Tranquiline Halls.{{ref|b|sa1|c|45}}
