Bonds are Connections between entities in the cosmere that exist outside the [[Physical Realm]]. All bonds are basically the same, with the powers and functions depending on the holders of the bond.{{wob ref|3488}} Bonds are typically formed between entities with greater-than-normal Investiture and other entities, allowing them to gain enhancements. Forming a bond utilizes Connection and Identity in some manner. Lessening those attributes, such as by storing them in a metalmind, would affect the bond.{{wob ref|9407}}
*'''The Nahel Bond''': The [[Nahel bond]] is formed between sapient beings and certain types of intelligent [[Spren]]. It gives access to [[Surgebinding]], while granting the spren the ability to maintain their cognition in the Physical Realm. There are ten known forms the Nahel Bond can take, each giving access to two different Surges among the ten.
**'''Lesser Spren Bonds''': Non-intelligent spren can theoretically form symbiotic bonds with people.{{wob ref|4783}} ▼
**'''Other Spren Bonds''': Certain spren bond with animals native to Roshar, enhancing those animals and granting them abilities. Animals that are confirmed to have these bonds are [[chasmfiend]]s, [[chull]]s, [[Ryshadium]], and [[skyeel]]s.▼
*'''The Luhel Bond''': The [[Luhel bond]] is typically formed between sapient beings and [[aether|aethers]]. It gives access to aether manipulation abilities in exchange for the
*'''Singer Bond''': The singers can bond with a spren. Doing so grants the singer a form with a specific physical and mental change. Not all spren grant a unique form; most spren give the singers dullform. Without a spren, singers exist in what is known as slaveform ([[Parshmen]]).
*'''Yelig-nar''': [[Yelig-nar]] is able to bond with a human or [[singer]] and gives his host command of the Surges.{{book ref|sa3|118}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|95}} [[Hessi]] believes this bond grants the host the use of all ten Surges,{{epigraph ref|sa3|95}} though given the Voidbringers' view of the Surge of [[Adhesion]],{{book ref|sa4|31}} Yelig-Nar may only grant the other nine. The people he bonds with appear to remain fully in control of themselves,{{book ref|sa3|120}} but they must control Yelig-nar if they do not wish to be consumed by him.{{book ref|sa3|118}}▼
*'''Nergaoul''': [[Nergaoul]] is able to bond with humans who embrace the Thrill.{{book ref|sa3|115}} This imbues them with bloodlust and the urge to fight above all else.{{book ref|sa1|28}} With the help of [[Odium]], he is able to fully control large groups of people through the bond.{{book ref|sa3|116}}▼
▲'''Lesser Spren Bonds''': Non-intelligent spren can theoretically form symbiotic bonds with people.{{wob ref|4783}}
*'''Seons''': A [[seon]] can create bonds with humans, including [[Elantrian]]s. Little is known of this bond other than that the [[seon]] follows and helps the person it is bonded to, functioning as a servant to the owner of the bond. Seons will automatically seek out a new person to bond with following the death of its master; often the new master has been prearranged. During the time of the [[Reod]], while the [[Shaod]] was unable to finish transforming a human into an Elantrian, any seon bonded to an Elantrian lost its mind and would float around the city, often near their master.{{book ref|elantris|4}} This bond is similar to the Nahel bond{{wob ref|3035}} and would grant some sort of ability if manifested on Roshar.{{wob ref|6928}}▼
*'''Aviar''': [[Aviar]]s create a bond with a person and grant a specific power based on the type of Aviar bonded. Aviar are granted their ability if raised on one of the pantheon islands and consume a worm native to the island.{{book ref|sixth}}▼
▲'''Other Spren Bonds''': Certain spren bond with animals native to Roshar, enhancing those animals and granting them abilities. Animals that are confirmed to have these bonds are [[chasmfiend]]s, [[chull]]s, [[Ryshadium]], and [[skyeel]]s.

*'''Sentient Awakened Entities in an Inorganic Host''': Also known as Type IV BioChromatic Entities. The only known entities of this kind are [[Nightblood]] and [[Vivenna's Blade]], though much less is known about the latter.

*'''[[Shardblade]]s''': [[Shardblade]]s are able to bond with people through the use of charged gemstones. The gem is placed in the hilt of the Blade and after a week of constant contact, the Blade is bonded and can be dismissed from and recalled to the Physical Realm. Once bonded the blade can be dismissed and recalled by syncing with the user's heart to the blade. Ten heartbeats are required. A person's

▲'''Sentient Awakened Entities in an Inorganic Host''': Also known as Type IV BioChromatic Entities. The only known entities of this kind are [[Nightblood]] and [[Vivenna's Blade]], though much less is known about the latter. Nightblood is a sentient sword made using one thousand [[Breath]]s and the command to destroy evil. Nightblood will bond with anyone they wish to communicate with, and is able to read and speak with minds directly.{{wob ref|6928}} Distance appears to be a factor, but this may be a limitation of the mind of Nightblood and not their ability. While idle, Nightblood reaches out to other people, tempting them to draw the blade. "Pure" people who cannot be tempted would feel great nausea, even induce vomiting. Anyone who is able to wield Nightblood and survive bonds with the blade to a greater degree and is no longer repelled by or abnormally drawn to use it.{{wob ref|7404}} Those unable to control Nightblood become controlled themselves, leading to them using Nightblood to kill everyone around them and allowing Nightblood to absorb all Investiture from the victims including the spark of life (i.e. the soul).{{book ref|sa3|90}}{{wob ref|5879}} This bond may grant additional powers on Roshar.{{wob ref|6892}}

The gem is placed in the hilt of the Blade and after a week of constant contact, the Blade is bonded and can be dismissed from and recalled to the Physical Realm.

▲'''Honorblades''': [[Honorblade]]s grant Surgebinding abilities to humans who touch them, but requires dangerous levels of [[Stormlight]].{{wob ref|5822}}
▲'''Shardplate''': There is some manner of bond between Shardplate and its wearer, that will disappear if the owner of the Plate is to die.{{wob ref|6758}}
