'''Soulcasting''' is a form of [[Surgebinding]] on [[Roshar]] that involves manipulating the [[Surge]] of Transformation to turn one material into another.{{wob ref|10086}} A '''Soulcaster''' may refer to a special kind of [[fabrial]] which allows its user to Soulcast, a person who uses such a device, or a person who is able to Soulcast by means of Surgebinding.{{book ref|sa1|5}}
In order to perform a Soulcasting, the user needs to send their mind into [[Shadesmar]] to connect with the [[Cognitive Realm|cognitive]] aspect of the object they wish changed. Once connected, they must convince the object to change.{{book ref|sa2|11}} The transformation itself consumes [[Stormlight]] at a rate that can crack the gemstones holding it.{{book ref|sa1|5}}
The target of Soulcasting can be an inanimate item or a person, although a person will present greater difficulty, due to the innate [[Investiture]] they hold.{{book ref|sa1|36}}{{wob ref|2675}} Highly-invested people, like [[Knights Radiant]] or [[Allomancy|Mistborn]], and natural Investiture blockers, like [[aluminium]] or [[Shardplate]], will resist Soulcasting.{{wob ref|2675}}{{wob ref|9599}} Likewise, Soulcasting cannot create materials that are naturally Invested, such as [[god metals]].{{wob ref|2661}} Aluminium, however, can be created via Soulcasting, although it cannot be turned into anything else.{{wob ref|8306}} A metalmind that is Soulcast into a different type of metal, will retain its [[Feruchemical]] charge, however, the [[Investiture]] will no longer be accessible.{{wob ref|9681}} It is said to be impossible to create gemstones (i.e. polestones) with a soulcaster, although it is possible to create non-polestone crystals like quartz.{{book ref|sa1|33}}
Apart from those edge cases, any object can be Soulcast, although what it can be Soulcast into varies. It's much easier to create the [[Ten Essences]] than other materials; for example, fruit juice would be harder to make than blood.{{book ref|sa1|72}} Materials that do not exist naturally, such as plastic, are possible to Soulcast into, provided the closest possible Essence is identified.{{wob ref|10904}} This being said, a major limitation is the knowledge of the end material - while a Surgebinder could Soulcast matter into radioactive particles such as plutonium, modern-day [[Roshar]]ans are unaware of its existence and nature.{{wob ref|3811}}
