'''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.{{ref|b|twok|p|285}} According to the ardents even the [[Herald|Heralds]]s denounced its use.{{ref|b|twok|p|285}} 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.{{ref|b|twok|p|445}} The ardents even worried that Dalinar's visions were connected to Voidbinding, although since the visions come from [[Honor]] their belief was inaccurate.
 
The Vorin reluctance to guess the future led to the rise of games like breakneck, that don't require directly guessing the future.{{ref|b|twok|p|445}} Some are even distrustful of stormwardens as well, since they predict when highstorms are going to occur.{{ref|b|twok|p|846}}
