{{quote
| We don’t sleep; we don’t eat. I think we might feed off humans, actually. Your emotions. Or you thinking about us, maybe. It all seems very complicated. In Shadesmar, we can think on our own, but if we go to your realm, we need a human bond. Otherwise, we’re practically as mindless as those gloryspren.
| [[Sylphrena]] on the nature of spren{{book ref|sa3|91}}
}}
There are said to be thousands of different kinds of spren, each named for a different type of phenomenon.{{book ref|sa1|49}} There are actually several different varieties of spren. Everything has a "spren" based on how it is viewed cognitively and how long it has been viewed that way.{{book ref|sa1|37}} These spren are the cognitive aspects of objects in the Physical Realm and can be "spoken to" in the [[Cognitive Realm]]. [[Soulcasting]] works by "bribing" this type of spren with [[Stormlight]].{{book ref|sa1|48}} The other main variety of spren are those that manifest in the Physical Realm and are the ones people most often interact with. They are the personification of certain cognitive ideals and concepts, such as natural forces or emotions.<ref name=poopspren /> These cognitive ideals are similar to those that determine the appearances of the [[Returned]] on [[Nalthis]] and the plausibility of [[Forgery| Forgeries]] on Sel and are based off of human perception.{{qa ref|979|165}}{{qa ref|979|7}}
 
Larger spren have the ability to shape-shift often mimicking faces, as well as being able to mimic voices. Apart from a few sentient sub-types, spren are not intelligent and therefore speaking with them is an exercise in futility; a fact often learned as a child. Spren are often ignored because of this.{{book ref|sa1|2}} Larger spren also have the ability to pick up small objects and give small pinches of energy.{{book ref|sa1|6}}
 
Spren do not need to sleep, {{book ref|sa1|14}}, and spren can die.{{qa ref|836|26}}
 
The causal link between spren and their namesake is not fully understood on Roshar. Some spren, such as rotspren, are said to cause their namesake, whereas others, such as windspren, are merely attracted to it.{{book ref|sa1|57}}
