'''Voidbinding''' is a manifestation of [[Investiture]] on [[Roshar]] of which little is known. It is connected to Odium and his Unmade{{wob ref|11353}}, and predicting the future is said to be of it.{{book ref|twok|18}}
== Prerequisites ==
Not much is known about how one becomes a Voidbinder under normal circumstances. It has been said that Voidbinding usually, though not always, originates with the [[Unmade]].{{wob ref|11353}}
A possible example of a method is by bonding with a [[Spren#Corrupted_Spren|corrupted]] [[Nahel bond|Nahel spren]]. [[Renarin Kholin]]'s ability to see the future has been connected to Voidbinding,{{17s ref|topic|62713|Argent's Secret Renarin WoB|date=2017-11-22}}{{wob ref|8461}} and it is likely he gained it through his bond to the corrupted spren [[Glys]].{{book ref|oathbringer|116}} How much Renarin's abilities relate to Voidbinding, is currently unclear.
== Mythology ==
One of the most common powers associated with Voidbinding is prophecy and foresight.{{book ref|twok|18}}{{wob ref|8904}} According to the [[ardent]]s, even the [[Herald]]s denounced its use. Whether or not this is true or a myth is yet to be seen, although [[Jasnah]] believes this to be true. Regardless, in [[Vorin]] nations, ''any'' type of prediction
The Vorin reluctance to guess the future led to the rise of games like breakneck, that don't require directly guessing the future.{{book ref|twok|i|6}} Many Vorins are distrustful of [[stormwarden]]s, since they predict when [[highstorm]]s are going to occur.{{book ref|twok|60}}
{{theory}}
=== Voidish Surges ===
There are glyphs on the Voidbinding chart that share position with and are variations of the Surge glyphs on the [[Surgebinding]] chart. Instead of the axial symmetry of the Surge glyphs, the glyphs on the Voidbinding chart exhibit rotational symmetry.
A prominent example
=== Fused ===
The abilities demonstrated by the [[Fused]] have so far been typical of [[Surgebinding]], but
=== Regal ===
[[Regal#Nightform|Nightform]], one of the [[Regal]] forms of power, was said to allow for foreseeing the future. This suggests a possible relation to Voidbinding, and
