▲Once Lift states the [[Immortal Words|Third Ideal]] of the Edgedancers, he gains the ability to form a [[Shardblade|Shard weapon]]. He has so far taken the appearance of a metal rod{{book ref|Edgedancer|19}} and a Shardfork.{{book ref|sa2.5|20}}
In the [[Cognitive Realm]], Wyndle is a proficient gardener of chairs,{{book ref|sa2.5|1}} which has made him somewhat famous.{{book ref|sa4|19}} His [[Physical Realm]] form is, like other Nahel spren, capable of exerting a small amount of force in the Physical. Uniquely, Lift is capable of interacting with him in the Physical Realm, despite him not having enough substance there for such a thing to be possible under typical circumstances. Wyndle posits that this is because she is partially in the Cognitive Realm. She uses this ability to do things such as climb walls by having him form a ladder for her.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}
=== Nahel Bond ===
Wyndle's [[Nahel bond|bond]] with Lift gives him sentience in the Physical Realm and grants Lift the [[Surge]]s of [[Abrasion]] and [[Progression]].{{book ref|sa2.5|2}} This bond is strengthened as Lift swears additional ideals. For example, once Lift has sworn the Third Ideal of the Edgedancers, he gains the ability to become a physical, shape-shifting Shardblade.{{book ref|sa2.5|19}}

=== Background ===
Wyndle was a gardener. He collected souls of chairs and grew them into
He was asked by the [[Ring]] to bond with Lift, a decision Wyndle doesn't seem to like or understand.{{book ref|Edgedancer|1}}

Wyndle seemed to be happy at the Palace while they were guests of honor of the new Prime
Upon their arrival, Lift uses Wyndle to climb into places and spy on people. She created a diversion and later followed the guard Capitan who surely would have made a report on her. As expected Nale arrived and Wyndle finds out from Lift that his plan is to kill Radiants.{{book ref|Edgedancer|7}}▼

They trail him through the city until, as they are passing through a market, [[Tiqqa|a thief]] steals a basket of fruit and runs off in Nale's direction. He captures the thief and, when she swings a knife at him, he kills her with his Shardblade. Lift tries to save her, but Wyndle explains that a Shardblade kills faster than Lift's powers can bring her back. Lift continues to follow Nale, using Wyndle to climb and spy until they find his quarters, where Lift eats Nale's pancakes.{{book ref|Edgedancer|8}}
Wyndle helps Lift get into the [[Grand Indicium]], where she wanted him to read everything to find "weird" events. He explained there wasn't enough time, so she went to steal some fancy clothes.{{book ref|Edgedancer|12}} He took the form of a word she copied and showed to the scribes of the place, who then wrote to Gawx and received his request to treat Lift with respect and do as she asked.{{book ref|Edgedancer|13}}Though she was unable to find anything useful, she does find one of Nale's allies and follows them. Wyndle himself offers to spy on them and finds out they are about to go and perform the execution.{{book ref|Edgedancer|16}}

Wyndle and Lift went to [[Urithiru]] to join with [[Dalinar]].
Wyndle and Lift went to Urithiru to join with Dalinar. Though the Azish left before the battle, they stayed to help. Their task from Dalinar was to take a big ruby from a Fused with similar powers to an Edgedancer. Wyndle was tasked with following the Fused who moved faster than Lift. He performed this successfully, but Lift was hit by the rock monster. Wyndle suggested that she summon him as a Shardblade to protect her. Lift summoned him as a rod but was saved by Szeth.{{book ref|sa3|117}} Though Lift didn’t use Wyndle to obtain the ruby, they completed the task and gave the rock to Dalinar, which was key to their victory.{{book ref|sa3|120}}▼

Wyndle and Lift stayed at Urithiru to help the coalition during the year succeeding the engagement in Thaylen Field. Around a dozen or so additional Edgedancers were bonded during this time, and along with Lift and Wyndle, they went to various battlefields to help heal people.{{book ref|sa4|3}} Lift volunteered for an envoy to the [[honorspren]] stronghold of [[Lasting Integrity]], but Dalinar denied her request.{{book ref|sa4|19}}
Just before the Fused invasion of Urithiru, Wyndle accompanied Lift as she "stole" a basket of fruit from [[Gift]]. He prodded her, and she admitted both that Gift is leaving the food out for her and that her gift was from Cultivation and not the Nightwatcher. Shortly after, they both begin to feel the effects of the [[suppression fabrial]] being turned on the Radiants. They headed outside and witnessed [[Gereh]]'s and [[Mraize]]'s [[Aviar]] battling in the sky. Wyndle helped Lift climb a wall, but was unable to form a Shardrod for her. Regardless, Lift was able to rescue Gereh's Aviar.{{book ref|sa4|i|5}} Shortly afterward, the pair were found by Mraize,{{book ref|sa4|i|5}} who put them in a cage and sold them to the Fused.{{book ref|sa4|60}} Wyndle left to try to find help, but he did not return until the tower was restored.{{book ref|sa4|85}}{{book ref|sa4|116}}

It is clear that Wyndle did not choose to bond with Lift but
Lift at first believe that he is a
He tries to help her progress the bond by encouraging her to say the Immortal Words, as he considers that his duty. At first, Lift appears to ignore him.{{book ref|sa2.5|4}} However, once Wyndle begins to understand Lift more by realizing the hidden meaning in her words, their relationship improves,{{book ref|sa2.5|11}} and eventually she does swear the Third Ideal.{{book ref|sa2.5|19}}
