Each Oathgate is ultimately powered by Stormlight. The minimum amount required to start the device is lighting the eleven lamps within the Oathgate with Stormlight. To operate the gate, a Shardblade is inserted within the gates keyhole and the wall rotates to the desired destination before the Blade is turned. This means that typically only Radiants who have reached a point in their oaths where they may manifest a Shardblade can operate an Oathgate. The exception are the [[Honorblade]]s, which are also capable of operating an Oathgate.{{book ref|sa3|16}} Interestingly, [[Bondsmith]] Dalinar Kholin manages to activate an Oathgate by summoning a column of bright white light, although this seems highly unusual and little is understood about this.{{book ref|sa3|100}}

Each Oathgate has may be locked to prevent its usage, meaning that if either or both paired Oathgates are locked no one may use the Oathgate.{{book ref|sa3|1}} Another mechanism controlled by a dial{{book ref|sa3|100}} allows each Oathgate to transport either the entire circular platform of the Oathgate, or just the control room for smaller parties.{{book ref|sa3|58}} Moving just the control room also is costs less in Stormlight. When an Oathgate is activated, it swaps locations with the paired gate, swapping the surface of one gate with the other, rather than just the people and things standing on the platform. It does not take significantly more Stormlight to swap two groups of people using an Oathgate than it does for one group to use it alone.{{book ref|sa3|46}}
