=== Communication ===
Connection can be used in many ways to allow the user to speak the language of another person they are Connecting with. This can be done without the user learning any of the language beforehand. The ability has flaws though, as it will fill in local idioms and phrases on its own, but if the user is careless and focuses on a specific word or phrase the ability may fail and they will say the word verbatim in their own tongue{{wob ref|3759}} or it may be said in an odd way.{{wob ref|3583}} This includes slip ups that confuse others,{{wob ref|8185}} such as saying coin{{book ref|sa2|epilogue}} or bunny{{book ref|sa2|59}} on [[Roshar]]. Blanking [[Identity]] and tapping Connection can cause someone to gain an accent for a particular area.{{wob ref|2558}}
'''Feruchemy''': In [[Feruchemy]], Connection is stored in [[duralumin]].{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} Using this, a Feruchemist can communicate with others on foreign lands.{{book ref|mb6|22}} Connection can also be used by anyone by wearing [[unsealed metalminds]].{{wob ref|2112}} These medallions are worn by a person who is in a land that is not their own, and they are then able to speak the language of the place they are in. A person wearing their medallion in their own land will still speak their own language, not the language of the person they are communicating with. Occasionally, words do not translate fully.
'''Aviar''': [[Aviar]]s create a bond with a person and grant a specific power based of the type of Aviar bonded. Aviar are granted their ability if raised on one of the pantheon islands and consume a worm native to the island.{{book ref|sixth}}
'''Other Worm Infected Animals''': Other birds besides native island Aviar are able to eat the worms and create a bond with a new effect.{{book ref|sixth}}
'''Sentient Awakened Entities in an Inorganic Host''': Also known as Type IV BioChromatic Entities. The only known entity of this kind is [[Nightblood]]. Nightblood is a sentient sword made using one thousand [[Breath]]s and the command to destroy evil. Nightblood will bond with anyone they wish to communicate with, and is able to read and speak with minds directly.{{wob ref|6928}} Distance appears to be a factor, but this may be a limitation of the mind of Nightblood and not their ability. While idle, Nightblood reaches out to other people, tempting them to draw the blade. "Pure" people who cannot be tempted would feel great nausea, even induce vomiting. Anyone who is able to wield Nightblood and survive, bonds with the blade to a greater degree and is no longer repelled by or abnormally drawn to use it.{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=45}} Those unable to control Nightblood are become controlled themselves, leading to them using Nightblood to kill everyone around them and allowing Nightblood to absorb the Investiture from the victims including the spark of life (i.e. the soul).{{book ref|sa3|90}}{{wob ref|5879}} This bond may grant additional powers on Roshar.{{wob ref|6892}}
