== Attributes and Abilities ==
Sigzil has been trained with the spear and spearman tactics by Kaladin, and he uses the weapon "acceptably.".{{book ref|sa2|12}} He can read and write the Azish script, though out of deference to Alethi ideals he sticks with using glyphs to record written reports as Bridge Four's clerk.{{book ref|sa3|35}} His understanding of other cultures, ability to work easily with numbers, and his level-headedness are all assets to the [[Order of Windrunners]].{{book ref|sa4|6}} Sigzil also speaks [[Alethi]] and [[Malwish]].{{book ref|tsm|44}}
 
Unlike most people, Sigzil is Connected to two places: Roshar and Canticle.{{book ref|tsm|40}} Due to his Connection to Canticle, Sigzil is able to share Investiture with other [[Threnody|Threnodites]], directly transferring it via touch.{{book ref|tsm|13}}{{book ref|tsm|39}}
 
=== Dawnshard ===
When Sigzil was thirty-eight years old he was given a [[Dawnshard]] by [[Hoid]].{{book ref|tsm|11}}{{book ref|tsm|20}} This gave him enhancements in durability, strength, endurance, and healing.{{book ref|tsm|5}}{{book ref|tsm|1}} This has allowed him to form Connections to planets{{book ref|tsm|6}} though these abilities need some Investiture to function.{{book ref|tsm|1}} It also sets his appearance, including features like his hair length, to look as it did the moment he took the Dawnshard. {{book ref|TSM|21}}
 
A side effect of holding and having held this Dawnshard is that Sigzil is unable to physically harm others, with his body locking up whenever he tries to attack. Sigzil comes to refer to this effect as his '''Torment''', though not all others affected this way would refer to it as such.{{wob ref|15596}} He is able to mitigate this using a [[sunheart]] he took from [[Canticle]], allowing him to fight as normal by pushing some of the unwanted Investiture into it.{{book ref|tsm|36}} This Investiture is then filtered and purified, allowing Sigzil to absorb it to fuel his abilities.{{book ref|tsm|37}}
He and Auxiliary have a very complex and ambivalent relationship that mixes amicability and judgement.{{cite}}{{expand}}
 
Auxiliary is his second spren, bonded after the bond ended with his first .{{book ref|tsm|29}} Auxiliary ultimately gives his life to give Sigzil a last burst of power in order to help him protect his own life and that of the Beaconites, burning away his own essence.{{book ref|tsm|45}}{{book ref|tsm|52}}{{book ref|tsm|epilogue}}
