Initially the Stormfather may grant a specific set of visions crafted by [[Honor]] prior to his death to instruct a future Bondsmith in the fight against Odium.{{book ref|sa1|75}} Eventually a Bondsmith may create their own visions for others to experience.{{book ref|sa4|107}} These visions involve forging a Connection between a person and something of significance that they are Connected to,{{book ref|sa4|107}} perhaps something they desire, a hope or a wish, such as when Dalinar grants Kaladin his vision of [[Tien]].{{book ref|sa4|108}} The person that experiences the vision may need to be in a highstorm in order for the Bondsmith to create the Connection for a vision. These visions may occur in an instant, as time slows during the centerbeat of the highstorm.{{book ref|sa4|110}}
Those who see these visions are in some way experiencing the Spiritual Realm, but the Cognitive Realm is also involved to provide a framework for what appears and allow for Spiritual Realm to be comprehensible.{{wob ref|9562}} Any intelligent personalities that exist in the vision are comprised of Investiture that has interacted with the Cognitive
A similar ability that the Stormfather can grant is riding the storms, in which a person can join him and view the land from the perspective of a highstorm as it passes over the continent of Roshar.{{book ref|sa4|71}} The person riding the storm with the Stormfather may be capable of seeing even more details of the terrain below the highstorm than the Stormfather himself. It appears that his bonded Radiant may exercise even more control over these visions than a normal person allowed to ride the storm. When his Radiant rides the storm, the Radiant may control it if the Stormfather allows him, and can even go backwards against the force of the storm, although this pains the Stormfather greatly. When in this state a Bondsmith is even capable of accept a Radiant's oath in the Stormfather's stead.{{book ref|sa4|108}} The ability of the Sibling's Bondsmith to see and comprehend the mechanisms of [[Urithiru]] may be related, it represents a similar expansion of the Radiant's perception and knowledge of the Tower{{book ref|sa4|111}} in a similar way to someone riding the highstorm. It also allows for the Radiant to speak through the veins of garnet in the Tower, much as the Sibling does.{{book ref|sa4|111}}

; Spren and Shards:
Each Bondsmith shares a [[Nahel bond]] with one of three unique spren: the [[Stormfather]], the [[Nightwatcher]]{{book ref|sa3|111}}, and the [[Sibling]].{{book ref|sa4|3}} These spren are all sort of the same type,{{wob ref|13647}} but obviously have substantial differences between them as well. The sheer power of the various Bondsmith spren allows them to violate the normal rules governing the true spren bonded to other orders. The Bondsmith spren are more omnipresent and can be located great distances from their Radiants while still granting them powers and communicating, as they are much more widely Connected than other Radiant spren.{{wob ref|4268}} Bondsmiths typically do not have access to a [[Shardblade]],{{wob ref|3311}} although it is possible to force the essence of their bonded spren into the Physical

=== Historical Bondsmiths ===
The order of Radiants known as the Bondsmiths was founded by the Herald [[Ishar]] during the cycle of [[Desolation]]s, who also served as the order's patron.{{book ref|sa3|64}} The Bondsmiths along with the other orders helped in the fight each Desolation against the [[Voidbringer]]s. As becoming a Bondsmith is contingent on convincing one of only three unique spren to bond with a person,{{wob ref|13781}} the Bondsmiths commonly had no more than three full members, making them the smallest of the orders.{{epigraph ref|sa2|44}} Additionally, this number varied over the centuries and there have been times where there was only one Bondsmith.{{epigraph ref|sa3|79}} That is not to say that there were no others who considered themselves to be Bondsmiths.{{wob ref|13781}} Bondsmiths could have squires themselves, although this may not have been the norm. Additionally, the Bondsmiths were surrounded by attendants and protectors, who were generally considered to be members of the order. Some even swore Bondsmith oaths as well, despite the fact that this would grant them no powers. Some considered this to be the purest form of Radiance, for the oaths were sworn for the love of the oaths themselves. The Bondsmith's focus was generally on unity and peacemaking, presumably during and between Desolations.{{wob ref|13781}} Instead of using their powers in an active combat role,{{book ref|sa3|64}} they helped resolve disputes between nations and set up functioning governments in regions where none existed.{{wob ref|13781}} Bondsmiths also helped keep the peace between the various orders of Radiants, who often clashed and squabbled with one another.{{epigraph ref|sa3|67}}

They likely continued to help in the struggles against the remaining [[singer]]s.{{book ref|sa3|56}} By the time of the [[False Desolation]], only one true Bondsmith, Melishi, existed{{epigraph ref|sa3|79}} sworn to the Sibling. As a part of the plan to defeat [[Ba-Ado-Mishram]], Melishi used his powers to imprison the Unmade in a [[Perfect gemstone]],{{epigraph ref|sa3|80}} and likely assisted with the capture of [[Re-Shephir]].{{book ref|sa3|30}} This action damaged the Sibling, leaving them unable to hear the Rhythm of the Tower and create their own Light.{{book ref|sa4|49}} The events of the Recreance followed shortly thereafter, and the fate of Melishi is uncertain, although his bond to the Sibling was ended prior to the Recreance.{{book ref|sa4|87}} It is known however that the order of Bondsmiths was disbanded at this point.{{epigraph ref|sa2|41}}▼
