Surgebinding is a magic-system that can be found on Roshar. In accordance with every other magic system in the Cosmere, Surgebinding is a manifestation of Investiture.
Lore
During the events of The Way of Kings Surgebinding is poorly known by the Rosharian population. In previous times though, it was well known, due to the Knights Radiant who were practicioners of Surgebinding. The Ars Arcanum of the Way of Kings has some information about Surgebinding.
General Information
Surgebinding allows its practicioners to bind Surges. Surges are fundamental forces Error en la cita: Etiqueta <ref> no válida; las referencias sin nombre deben tener contenido. Binding a Surge describes the manipulation of the fundamental force, which produces the desired effect.
In order to Bind a Surge, the practicioner needs Stormlight. This means that the practicioner always needs infused gemstones. When Binding the Surge, Stormlight is used.
Acces to Surgebinding
The ability to Bind Surges is not innate to native Rosharians. People are granted this ability depending on how they act.Error en la cita: Etiqueta <ref> no válida; las referencias sin nombre deben tener contenido
It is assumed that Surgebinding is the magic-system of Honor. So someone needs to act honorable to become a Surgebinder.
By acting honorable, one can attract an spren, that bonds with the relative person. [Se necesita aclaración] An effect of that bond is that the bonded person has acces to Surges.
Subclasses of Surgebinding
There are ten Surges. Every Surgebinder only has acces to two of them. The combination of those two Surges makes him a special type of Surgebinder called an Order. There are ten of these Orders and each of these Orders shares his access to one Surge with the two adjacent Orders respectively. [Se necesita aclaración] The Knights Radiant were organized in ten Orders along these limitations.
Windrunners

They could perform three types of Lashings.
Stonewardens
The Stonewardens were the ninth Order of Knights Radiant. Their Surges are currently unknown.
