'''Voidbinding''' is presumably a magic system on [[Roshar]]. It is referenced once, in the Ars Arcanum of [[the Way of Kings]], which says that there are ten levels of Voidbinding, like there are ten levels of [[Surgebinding]]. However, the writer of that Ars Arcanum states that the ten levels of Voidbinding may be different.
 
One of the most common powers associated with Voidbinding is prophecy and foresight.{{book ref|b|twok|c|18}} According to the ardents even the [[Herald]]s denounced its use. Whether or not this is true or a myth that has cropped up over the millenia is yet to be seen. Regardless, in Vorin nations any type of future prediction was feared and avoided because of this belief.{{book ref|b|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]], their belief was inaccurate.{{book ref|b|twok|c|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|b|twok|i|6}} Some are even distrustful of stormwardens as well, since they predict when highstorms are going to occur.{{book ref|b|twok|c|60}}
 
Due to its name, it is probably related to the [[Voidbringers]], and as such, related to [[Odium]].
