While he rides the storms, and can perceive everything within them, his consciousness is not restricted to them -- he is capable of speaking to [[Dalinar]] from great distances, and unlike other Radiant spren, he does not need to remain close to him.{{book ref|sa3|8}}{{wob ref|4268}} This being said, he does not have absolute control over everything that happens within his storms, and he's incapable of stopping singers from using it to bond with spren, even [[voidspren]].{{book ref|sa2|i|5}}
Within a highstorm, the Stormfather is capable of communicating with people, appearing as an enormous face and speaking in a thunderous voice.{{book ref|sa1|35}}{{book ref|sa4|57}} Doing so slows down time greatly.{{book ref|sa4|i|1}}
=== Visions ===
The Stormfather is one of the three great [[Bondsmith]] spren. Forming a [[Nahel bond]] with him grants one the power over the [[Surge]]s of [[Tension]] and [[Adhesion]].{{file ref|TWoK Front Endsheet.jpg|Surgebinding Chart}} He is currently bonded with [[Dalinar Kholin]].{{book ref|sa2|89}}
While a Bondsmith can use Adhesion the way a [[Windrunner]] would,{{book ref|sa3|28}} they can also apply their powers in different manner, using them more in the [[Spiritual Realm|Spiritual]]. Using Spiritual Adhesion, a Bondsmith can form a connection between themselves and another person, allowing them to speak their language.{{book ref|sa3|65}} They also seem capable of hearing the spiritual aspects of objects, and use this to mend broken things back whole.{{book ref|sa3|59}} Bondsmiths can also summon Stormlight at will, although this requires significant effort.{{wob ref|12295}}{{book ref|sa3|122}} Due to his connection with highstorms, his Bondsmith will feel more energetic on highstorm days.{{book ref|sa4|71}}
There are several differences between the Stormfather and other Radiant spren. Unlike them, he is capable of maintaining consciousness in the Physical Realm even without the Bond, although it grants him deeper understanding of humanity and its foibles, along with the ability to empathize with others and more human responses, like cursing.{{book ref|sa3|38}} He also does not become a Shardblade, either due to his immense power or due to his immense dislike for humanity.{{book ref|sa2|89}} In addition, he can hear statements or questions directed to him, and speak directly into his Surgebinder's mind, even if he does not seem to be nearby.{{book ref|sa3|4}} His Bondsmith can also communicate with him by thinking.{{book ref|sa4|71}}
=== Honorspren ===
The Stormfather is the creator of the modern [[honorspren]], a duty that was bestowed upon him by [[Honor]] shortly before the latter's death. Following the [[Recreance]], where almost all of them have been killed, he stopped doing so; however, he would eventually create ten of them, which would eventually create others, leading to the resurgence of the race.{{book ref|sa3|108}}
Today, many honorspren treat him as an honored ancestor and obey his wishes, with [[Syl]] in particular referring to him as her father.{{book ref|sa3|108}}{{book ref|sa2|86}} The Stormfather, in turn, considers them his children.{{book ref|sa2|83}} He apparently exerts some influence over their ability to form [[Nahel bond]]s, although he cannot stop them if their Surgebinder says the proper Oaths.{{book ref|sa2|84}} He is also able to grant them more human-like emotions, but refuses to do so.{{book ref|sa4|i|1}}
