In previous desolations, when Fused died, the Oathpact bound them back to [[Braize]] and delayed them from returning immediately.{{book ref|sa3|38}} They would then have to wait until the next desolation, before they could Return and be reborn again.
It is of note that in the current desolation, the Fused use the [[Everstorm]] to great advantage. Not only can they use the Everstorm (instead of relying on highstorms) to possess new living singers, but when they do die, they can immediately Return during the next Everstorm, if they can find a living singer willing to take on the burden.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
Due to their Invested nature, the ancient ones that become the Fused do not need to bond a spren to attain and maintain full sapience.{{wob ref|11156}} However, every time a Fused is reborn, the process further injure their minds.{{book ref|sa3|38}}
