'''Voidbinding''' is a manifestation of [[Investiture]] on [[Roshar]] of which little is known. It is connected to [[Odium]] and his [[Unmade]]{{wob ref|11353}}, and predicting the future is said to be of it.{{book ref|twok|18}} [[Khriss]]'s writings in the [[Ars Arcanum]] states that there are ten levels of Voidbinding and that it is cousin to the [[Old Magic]].{{book ref|sa1|part=ars}}
== Prerequisites ==
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#
It is "theoretically possible" for a [[fabrial]] to imitate at least some parts of Voidbinding.{{wob ref|7029}}

=== Voidish Surges ===
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. It may be that these glyphs represent either alternatives to, or variant expressions of, the Surges in Surgebinding.

[[Regal#Nightform|Nightform]], one of the [[Regal]] forms of power, was said to allow for foreseeing the future.{{epigraph ref|sa2|23}}{{epigraph ref|sa2|34}} This suggests a possible relation to Voidbinding, and may have implications about the other forms of power.
