While their powers could be used to destroy large swaths of land, they preferred to work in a more controlled and nuanced manner. Most Dustbringers are thinkers who liked to take things apart to figure out how they worked. They often object the people who only focused on the destructive side of their powers, as they feel that it is impossible to create something without understanding how its pieces work.

| − | Slicking: This ability allows the Surgebinder to make their body frictionless. The Surgebinder can choose which parts of the body are affected and which parts are not; for example, the bottom of the feet can be infused so that the Surgebinder glides over any surface without losing momentum until the ability is suspended. Wind friction can also be affected. However, slicking doesn't reduce the force of direct collisions. People experienced in its use often move as though they were ice-skating on the ground. Slicking can also be used to escape any grasp, or grip the flattest walls. It can also be applied to objects, making it so that only the Surgebinder can grip the object without it slipping.{{book ref|wor|i|9}} A Dustbringer displays this ability in one of Dalinar's highstorm visions:{{book ref|sa1|75}} "She raised her Shardblade and charged, stepping through the water with uncanny ease, as if it had no purchase on her." |

They instead see their nature as being about control, precision, and understanding. In the Knights Radiant, they tend to act as the equivalent of artillery in a modern army.

“Smoke curled from the occasional patches of growth or heaps of burning corpses. Even some sections of rock smoldered. The Dustbringers had done their work well. ”
The Order of Dustbringers is an order of Knights Radiant on Roshar.[2]
The Dustbringers are Surgebinders who control the Surges of Division and Abrasion; they are associated with the ruby polestone. They form Nahel bonds with ashspren.[3]
Philosophy
The Dustbringers believed that great power requires a strong will to control it, and their oaths were designed to teach them control their destructive power. While their powers could be used to destroy large swaths of land, they preferred to work in a more controlled and nuanced manner. Most Dustbringers are thinkers who liked to take things apart to figure out how they worked. They often object the people who only focused on the destructive side of their powers, as they feel that it is impossible to create something without understanding how its pieces work. The order also attracts foolhardy-but-brave soldiers who tried to control the destructive nature of war to protect innocents.[4]
Ideals of the Dustbringers
There are five Ideals of the Knights Radiant, also known as the Immortal Words, and are a set of rules by which the Radiants live. The First Ideal is shared by all of the orders, and is used as a motto for the Knights Radiant as a whole. The four remaining Ideals are unique to each order.[5] The Ideals of the Order of Dustbringers all focus on responsibility and controlling one's power, and were designed to teach lessons about the nature of power and the responsibility that comes with it. Unlike members of most of the other orders, the Dustbringers could not access all of their Surgebinding powers until they had some of the higher oaths.[4]
The First Ideal
“Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination. ”
—The First Ideal of the Knights Radiant[5]
The Second Ideal
The Second Ideal of the Dustbringers is focused on self mastery.[4]
Abilities
Surgebinding
Dustbringers can use the Surges of Division and Abrasion.
Division gives the Dustbringers the ability to cause objects to burn, degrade, or turn to dust. They appear to have a great amount of control over this ability, as Malata engraves a table using this Surge. Division also works on living flesh.[3]
Abrasion gives the Dustbringers the ability to alter the frictional force between two surfaces. One Dustbringer uses this ability to decrease friction between herself and the water of the Purelake, allowing her to move through the water with ease.[6] The Edgedancers often use this Surge to decrease friction between their bodies and other surfaces, allowing them to move around with ease, and to make objects slippery to anyone other than themselves;[7] the Dustbringers can likely use Abrasion in a similar manner. It is unclear whether the Dustbringers can use Abrasion to increase the friction between two objects.
Other Abilities
Like most Knights Radiant, the Dusbringers have squires; one Dustbringer from one of Dalinar's visions had about a dozen.[6]
History
“And when they were spoken of by the common folk, the Releasers claimed to be misjudged because of the dreadful nature of their power; and when they dealt with others, always were they firm in their claim that other epithets, notably "Dustbringers," often heard in the common speech, were unacceptable substitutions, in particular for their similarity to the word "Voidbringers." They did also exercise anger in great prejudice regarding it, though to many who speak, there was little difference between these two assemblies. ”
—Words of Radiance, chapter 17[2]
Before the Day of Recreance, many Dustbringers preferred to be known as Releasers because of the similarity between "Dustbringers" and "Voidbringers,"[2][4] though that name never really became widespread.[8] This naming preference may have been influenced by their spren, as Spark apparently passed it on to Malata.[9] The Dustbringers were often misjudged by people because of the destructive nature of their powers,[2] and even some of their fellow Knights Radiant felt they were "on the edge" and did not get along with them.[10] The Skybreakers, who often made sure the Radiants didn't abuse their power,[11] were particularly concerned about the Dustbringers, despite the fact that the two orders had much in common.[10]
Historically, the Dustbringers often functioned as sappers, engineers, and strategists for the Knights Radiant.[4] During the final battle of the Last Desolation, they used their powers to great effect, resulting in burnt plants and corpses and smoldering rock.[1] In one of Dalinar's visions, a Dustbringer and several of her squires hunted a spren that had been corrupted by Sja-anat and then fought a thunderclast[6].
The only known ashspren to initiate a Nahel bond since the Recreance is Spark, who bonded Malata. Many of Spark's friends were killed in the Recreance and she only objectives with the bond are to get revenge and break things; this attitude has led Malata to side with the Diagram and Odium.[3] It is unclear whether other ashspren and Dustbringers would take a similar path.
