Voidspren are spren that, instead of being connected to either Honor or Cultivation, are under Odium's control. They are similar to other types of spren in many ways, such as their ability to bond with things in the Physical Realm and their various shapes and habits. However, these spren fight on the opposite side of the Desolations, aiding Odium's goal to destroy the Rosharans and ultimately earn his freedom from Braize.

Bonding

This page or section deals with theories or speculation.

Please read carefully and note that this is not necessarily canonical.

Like the other types of bonding spren, voidspren can only bond to certain individuals during certain times. For many voidspren, the Everstorm is needed for the bonding process, likely because of its output of voidlight. The lesser spren that create Regals can bond during highstorms, likely because the Regals can't invest the voidlight.
