Not much is known about how one becomes a Voidbinder under normal circumstances. It has been said that Voidbinding usually, though not always, originates with the [[Unmade]].{{wob ref|11353}} Parts of Voidbinding have been looked into in the past, but it likely has not been fully explored.{{wob ref|12836}}

A possible example of a method of becoming a Voidbinder is by bonding with a [[Spren#Corrupted_SprenCorrupted Spren|corrupted]] [[Nahel bond|Nahel spren]]. [[Renarin Kholin]]'s ability to see the future hasseems beento be connected to Voidbinding,{{17swob ref|topic|62713|Argent's8461}}{{wob Secret Renarin WoBref|date=2017-11-229541}} and it is likely he gained it through his bond to the corrupted spren [[Glys]].{{wobbook ref|8461sa3|116}} How much Renarin's abilities relate to Voidbinding is currently unclear.

One of the most common powers associated with Voidbinding is prophecy and foresight.{{book ref|twok|18}}{{wob ref|8904}} According to the [[ardent]]s, even the [[Herald]]s denounced its use. Whether or not this is true or a myth is yet to be seen, although [[Jasnah]] believes this to be true. Regardless, in [[Vorin]] nations, ''any'' type of prediction wasis tabooconsidered becauseto ofbe thistaboo.{{book ref|twok|i|6}} The ardents even worried that [[Dalinar]]'s [[Dalinar's visions|visions]] were connected to Voidbinding, although since the visions come from [[Honor]], that was an unfounded concern.{{book ref|twok|75}}

The Vorin reluctance to guess the future led to the rise of games like [[breakneck]], that don't require directly guessing the future.{{book ref|twok|i|6}} Many Vorins are distrustful of [[stormwarden]]s, since they predict when [[highstorm]]s are going to occur.{{book ref|twok|60}}

Very little is known about the abilities of Voidbinding. While the [[Ars Arcanum]]Khriss says that there are ten levels to Voidbinding and refers to "Voidbindings",{{book ref|sa1|part=ars}} it is unknown what this means.

The only ability currently confirmed to be related to Voidbinding is [[Renarin Kholin|Renarin]]'s ability to see the future. Though it is notrelated knownto preciselythe how[[:File:TWoK theyRear areEndsheet.jpg|Voidbinding relatedchart]],{{wob ref|8461}} though the Voidbindingprecise chartrelationship wasbetween referencedhis aspowers partand ofVoidbinding theremains confirmationunclear.{{17s ref|topic|62713|Argent's Secret Renarin WoB|date=2017-11-22}}{{wob ref|84619541}}

While details on the ability are sparse, [[Renarin Kholin|Renarin]]'s future sight is shown to be imperfect, as the events he foresaw during the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]] did not come to pass.{{book ref|oathbringer|118}} It seems to also in some way be fueled by [[Stormlight]].{{wob ref|8461}}

There are glyphs on the Voidbinding chart that share position with and are variations of the Surge glyphs on the [[Surgebinding]] chart. Instead of the axial symmetry of the Surge glyphs, the glyphs on the Voidbinding chart exhibit rotational symmetry.{{file Thisref|TWoK hasFront ledEndsheet.jpg|Surgebinding toChart}}{{file ref|TWoK Rear Endsheet.jpg|Voidbinding Chart}} It may speculationbe that these glyphs represent either alternatives to, or variant expressions of, the Surges in [[Surgebinding]].
