The third Ideal, also called the Ideal of Dedication, this is a specific oath to dedicate oneself to a greater truth. A Skybreaker Squire must first bond their [[highspren]] before taking this oath, and it is the minimum oath required before the [[Surge]] of Division can be used. Once sworn, one is considered to be a full member of the Skybreakers.{{book ref|sa3|90}}

==The Fifth Ideal==
===Underlying concept===▼
Swearing the Fifth Ideal, also known as the Final Ideal, will grant a Knight Radiant full access to their powers. In addition, swearing the Fifth Ideal fully completes the Nahel bond between a Radiant and their spren. Once sworn, the bond becomes so strong that killing the Radiant is one of the only known ways to break the bond. Prior to swearing the Fifth Ideal, other ways exist to break the bond.{{book ref|Oathbringer|108}}
Although swearing the Fifth Ideal allows a Radiant to fully master their powers, it is not necessary to do so in order to be considered a Knight Radiant or to access their primary powers. In fact, it is such a difficult process that the Order of the Skybreakers has not had someone swear the Fifth Ideal for centuries.{{book ref|Oathbringer|90}}
The Skybreakers consider one to be a full member after swearing the Third Ideal and they have access to both of their surges after the Fourth Ideal.{{book ref|Oathbringer|90}} The Windrunners have full access to both of their surges after swearing the Second Ideal.
{{theory}}
All Ideals seem to have in common that they reflect in some way on the respective person's character, self-awareness and motivations, their soul, so to speak, and reinforce that person's bond with their spren in accordance to that reflection. For instance, Windrunners are people who seek to protect others from harm and evil and advance their Ideals when they realize more and more, what that drive to protect entails and embrace those precepts. Therefore, Kaladin is unable to speak the Fourth Ideal, as he is not yet able to actually live up to the demands of that stage. Furthermore, the actual wording used when swearing an Ideal seems to matter significantly less than the mindset of the person and their accomplishments in their journey to self-awareness. Finally, it is impossible to swear an Ideal prematurely, as the [[Stormfather]] "refuses" to acknowledge [[Lopen]]'s oath when he swears it at first, presumably during his training. However, after the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], when Lopen speaks to an injured soldier who had lost his arm in the fighting, he repeats them while explaining the concept of the oaths to the soldier. At this moment, he is not earnestly expecting his words to hold any meaning, as he uses the phrase "journey before pancakes" in the First Ideal, and repeats the Second Ideal only while mentioning to the soldier how hard it is to say those words and mean them. Nevertheless, the Stormfather accepts his words, as Lopen appears to have actually achieved the required personality this time around. All of this points to the possibility that all Ideals are Truths spoken by a Knight Radiant about their inner self, speaking about their respective goals and ideals (protecting others, seeking order and justice, helping and caring for the weak, etc.). Thus, the Lightweavers would not be different from the other orders in that they require Truth ''instead'' of an Ideal, but in that they are much more liberal and varied with respect to what Truths, and therefore, what character, are needed in order to advance.
