Generally speaking powers shared between two orders of Radiants may vary somewhat, but each individual Knight has powers generally similar to those of another member of their order.{{epigraph ref|sa2|35}} However, each Bondsmith has abilities and traits unique to the spren they bond.{{wob ref|13781}} This makes a generalized discussion of the common powers of a Bondsmith more complex than other orders. Some powers may be associated with the Stormfather's Bondsmith alone and are only true following the Splintering of the Shard Honor{{book ref|sa3|57}} and the subsequent alteration of the Stormfather.{{book ref|sa3|113}} Some abilities may only be functional when used in conjunction with a Radiant from another order.{{book ref|sa3|27}} Others may only be accessible because restrictions imposed on Surgebinding by Honor have vanished following the Shard's death.{{book ref|sa4|66}} Each Bondsmith seems to make use of a different variety of Light to fuel their abilities, the Stormfather's Bondsmith uses Stormlight,{{book ref|sa3|119}} the Sibling's [[Towerlight]],{{book ref|sa4|111}} and presumably the Nightwatcher grants her Bondsmith [[Lifelight]].

Once the restrictions placed on Surgebinding by Honor were lifted following the Shard's death, Bondsmiths are free to manipulate Connection much more directly than they have been able to previously.{{book ref|sa4|66}} A knowledgeable Bondsmith may be able to use these Connections offensively, Connecting enemy Surgebinders to Roshar so that the Stormlight believes the planet to be a part of the bodies and is sucked into the ground.{{book ref|sa4|111}} It is uncertain if this power was accessible before Honor's death. This power leaves the recipient feeling drained afterward. Another power that only became available to the Bondsmiths in Honor's final days is the ability to directly see Connections that tie all people to one another and reality.{{book ref|sa4|66}} When touching another's forehead, their Connections become faintly visible as dozens of minute tiny white lines stretching off into the distance. While a Bondsmith can visualize these Connections, they are not able to be altered in any useful way. HoweverA Bondsmith may see more specialized Connections as well, such as the Connections between the Heralds that make up the Oathpact.{{book ref|sa4|47}} Under some circumstances a Bondsmith can see flashes of a Herald's past by touching them. A knowledgeable Bondsmith may directly manipulate more specialized Connections to steal something like a Nahel bond or the mantle of a champion, both of which were previously forbidden by Honor.{{book ref|sa4|111}}

Another power related to the Bondsmiths is the ability to create{{book ref|sa4|107}} and view immersive real-seeming visions{{book ref|sa1|18}} of events real{{cite}} and imagined.{{citebook ref|sa1|75}} It is uncertain whether this ability is exclusive to the Stormfather's Bondsmith. For the Stormfather's Bondsmith this is an ability that progresses with the ideals. Initially the Bondsmith is brought into the visions each storm without their consent,{{book ref|sa1|18}} and the visions may be confusing and difficult to understand at first,{{book ref|sa1|75}} acting out their actions inside the visions in real life as well.{{book ref|sa1|19}} As time progresses, they later may cease having to act out the visions. While eventually the Bondsmith may enter a vision at any point, he may only bring along others who are inside of a highstorm.{{book ref|sa3|28}}

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.{{citebook ref|sa1|75}} Eventually a Bondsmith may create their own visions for others to experience.{{citebook 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 realmRealm in order to come come to life and be capable of intelligent response. This power can allow someone to interact with historic figures long dead or speak to deceased loved ones for a moment or two.{{book ref|sa4|108}} When these visions show people who are long dead, it is ambiguous whether these minds are truly allow the dead to speak from the Beyond or whether the Stormfather's knowledge and Connection allows him to convincingly mimic their personalities.{{wob ref|14515}}

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 realmRealm{{book ref|sa4|90}} in a way that allows them to activate Oathgates.{{book ref|sa3|100}} This is an uncomfortable and even dangerous thing to do, perhaps risking killing the spren,{{book ref|sa4|90}} and has only been observed with the Stormfather.{{book ref|sa3|100}} However, like typical Radiant spren, Bondsmith spren are still vulnerable if their bonded Radiant betrays their oaths.{{wob ref|6041}} While Bondsmiths do not have access to a Blade, there is evidence that they may manifest a suit of Shardplate,{{book ref|sa3|109}} perhaps comprised of gloryspren, although this is not confirmed.{{wob ref|8803}}

As Bondsmiths are deeply Connected to powerful spren that serve as sources of Investiture, unlike other Radiants they are capable of pulling through Investiture on demand,{{book ref|sa4|111}} each spren allowing access to its associated Light. They may use this ability to overcharge another Radiant with Light, allowingdirectly{{book them to hold much more Stormlight than they could normally manage on their own.ref|sa3|122}} This process is physically taxing for the Bondsmith. However, as most Radiants primarily make use of Stormlight, this is perhaps most useful for the Stormfather's Bondsmith, although the other Bondsmiths can still generate their respective Lights for personal use. It is uncertain how exactly this is done, but it doesis not seem necessary for the Bondsmith to be holding some Light already in order to pull more over into the Physical realmRealm.{{book ref|sa4|110}} The exact mechanics of this ability are unknown, but it seems most likely that they are pulling it directly from the Spiritual realmRealm.

Another power that has only become available to a Bondsmith following Honor's demise is the ability to open a full perpendicularity,{{book ref|sa3|119}} seemingly an expansion of the ability to generate Investiture. Of the three Radiants, only the Stormfather's Bondsmith has been confirmed to be able to summon Honor's perpendicularityPerpendicularity, which itself is typically mobile.{{book ref|sa3|93}}{{wob ref|1525}} It is uncertain if the Sibling's Bondsmith or the Nightwatcher's Bondsmith can also summon perpendicularities, although the fact that the wielder of the Blade of the Bondsmiths may also summon a perpendicularity{{book ref|sa4|111}} lends credence to the possibility that the other Bondsmiths may do the same.

In a somewhat unique expression of their power, a Bondsmith may use their control over both their Surges as well as their unique affinity for Connection{{wob ref|14447}} to repair inanimate objects.{{book ref|sa3|59}} During this process they may feelsense and hear the Cognitive aspects of certain damaged objects around them.{{book ref|sa3|59}} With some combination of physical effort, Tensionas andwell Adhesionas this power, they can fix themthe damage completely. It has been suggested that this ability may have restrictions to Progression-based healing -wherin it is easier for users of Progression to heal those who are recently wounded, and it gets harder asbefore the "soul" becomes accustomed to the wound.{{book ref|sa3|59}} While this ability may seem niche, it doesis allowuseful for a Bondsmith wishing to assist very directly in the repair of cities damaged in battle, allowing the Bondsmith to restore historical works of art and buildings to their former state.

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 species ofunique 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}}

No known Bondsmiths were sworn for centuries, although the Stormfather was given the task in Honor's final days of choosing a new Bondsmith.{{book ref|sa3|28}} It is uncertain how often this happened, but ultimately over the course of the following millenia, the Stormfather chose fewer than ten people to show the visions.{{wob ref|12268}} By 1167 Gavilar Kholin had begun seeing visions{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} and had developed at least a tentative bond with the Stormfather.{{wob ref|2509}} This bond ended when the king was assassinated by [[Szeth]] on the orders of the listeners.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} At some point in the intervening years, his brother Dalinar was chosen by the Stormfather and by 1173 he had begun receiving visions of his own.{{book ref|sa1|12}} At the start of 1174 he swore the first two Ideals and formally bonded the Stormfather.{{book ref|sa2|89}} Over the next several months Dalinar spent his time acting very similarly to historical Bondsmiths, uniting a coalition of monarchs against the Voidbringer threat, bringing together the Vorin monarchs with the Azish and their surrounding countries.{{book ref|sa3|111}} While there were some challenges to his authority,{{book ref|sa3|111}} Dalinar managed to successfully coordinate the defense of [[Battle of Thaylen Field|Thaylen City]]{{book ref|sa3|120}} by swearing the third Ideal and learning to open [[Honor's Perpendicularity]]{{book ref|sa3|119}} and trap [[Nergaoul]] using his Bondsmith abilities.{{book ref|sa3|120}}

Dalinar remained the only bonded Bondsmith for the following year. This changed in 1175 when the Sibling took notice of Navani Kholin's fabrials{{book ref|sa4|9}} and ended their seclusion to speak to her and a few humans as the singers captured Urithiru.{{book ref|sa4|39}} While initially unwilling to consider another bond with a human,{{book ref|sa4|49}} who the Sibling found to be untrustworthy,{{book ref|sa4|69}} ultimately the Sibling chose to bond Navani Kholin before they could be fully transformed into an Unmade by Raboniel.{{book ref|sa4|110}} Using her knowledge of the rhythms and Light she was able to summon Towerlight to restore the functions of Urithiru and repair the damage inflicted on the Sibling by the Fused's interference.{{book ref|sa4|111}} It is uncertain if this bond has fully restored the Sibling to their previous self or if the damage caused by the capture of Ba-Ado-Mishram remains.
