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 Realm in order to 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 have passed into the Beyond, 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}}
 
A similar ability that the Stormfather can grant is riding the storms, in which a person can join him and view the land from the perspective of a highstorm as it passes over the continent of Roshar.{{book ref|sa4|71}} The person riding the storm with the Stormfather may be capable of seeing even more details of the terrain below the highstorm than the Stormfather himself. It appears that his bonded Radiant may exercise even more control over these visions than a normal person allowed to ride the storm. When his Radiant rides the storm, the Radiant may control it if the Stormfather allows them, and can even go backwards against the force of the storm, although this pains the Stormfather greatly. When in this state a Bondsmith is even capable of accepting a Radiant's oath in the Stormfather's stead.{{book ref|sa4|108}} They are also ablecapable of communicating with those in the highstorm, though those words will not be spoken out loud via their physical body.{{book ref|sa4|71}} The ability of the Sibling's Bondsmith to see and comprehend the mechanisms of [[Urithiru]] may be related, it represents a similar expansion of the Radiant's perception and knowledge of the Tower{{book ref|sa4|111}} in a similar way to someone riding the highstorm. It also allows for the Radiant to speak through the veins of garnet in the Tower, much as the Sibling does.{{book ref|sa4|111}}
