The Nahel Bond

Item from The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson

The magical bond between a spren and a human that grants Surgebinding — requiring sworn Ideals, deepening with each oath, and killing the spren if broken.

Also known as: Nahel bond, the bond, Radiant bond

What They Know

• Spren choose humans who embody their order's ideals — the bond is consensual
• Each sworn Ideal deepens the bond and grants greater Surgebinding power
• Breaking the bond kills the spren, creating a deadeye
• The First Ideal is universal across all orders: 'Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination'
