'''Surgebinding''' is a prime manifestation of [[Investiture]] on [[Roshar]]. The Surgebinder can manipulate ten fundamental forces locally known as [[Surge]]s, with each Surgebinder having access to two of the Surges with overlap between them, by infusing objects or beings with [[Stormlight]].{{qa ref

* '''Soulcasting''': This ability transforms any material into one of the Surgebinder's choice. To Soulcast, the Surgebinder shifts his perception to see into the Cognitive Realm, and communicates with the Cognitive aspect of the object he wants to transform. Not every object is inclined to change, depending on how the object is seen by the sentient species and how it sees itself, so the Surgebinder may need to negotiate with it. Once the object is convinced into changing, the Surgebinder infuses it with Stormlight, and the transformation process takes place instantaneously.{{ref|b|sa2|c|7}} It is technically possible for the Surgebinder to transform anything into anything else, but transforming something into the pure form of an [[Ten Essences|Essence]] is the easiest to accomplish, while transforming the object into something unfamiliar is a lot harder.{{ref|b|sa1|c|72}} Soulcasting requires the corresponding gemstone for the Essence the Surgebinder is trying to transform into, so Soulcasting something into blood, for example, requires an infused garnet.{{qa ref
