'''Cultivationspren''' are a type of sapient [[spren]] on [[Roshar]]. They are capable of forming a [[Nahel

=== Cognitive Realm ===
In [[Shadesmar]], cultivationspren are, like other sapient spren, humanoid. They appear to be composed mostly of vines, with hands made of crystal.{{book ref|sa3|102}} Their faces look as though they are composed of green string, and they all wear clothing, which doesn't seem to necessarily be part of their essence -- one female cultivationspren was spotted wearing a vorin [[havah]].{{book ref|sa3|120}}▼

They appear to be composed mostly of vines, and their faces look as though they are composed of green string.{{book ref|sa3|102}}{{book ref|sa3|120}} Their hands, eyes, and teeth are made of crystal, though their hands are still as flexible as flesh.{{book ref|sa3|102}}{{file ref|Shallan's Sketchbook - Cultivationspren.jpg|text=Shallan's Sketchbook - Cultivationspren}}

A [[deadeye]] cultivationspren looks similarly to a living one, albeit dried out.{{book ref|sa3|102}} Rather than vines, their bodies look as though made of ashen brown cords thin as hair, giving the appearance of rough cloth or a cluster of brown vines.{{book ref|sa3|87}}{{book ref|sa3|89}}{{book ref|sa3|117}} They also have long nails.{{book ref|sa3|117}}▼

Out of all spren, cultivationspren are the best at manifesting souls from beads in Shadesmar. For this reason, they often work creating gardens for other spren.{{book ref|sa3|99}} Rather than plants, cultivationspren gardeners create elaborate structures out of objects such as chairs.{{book ref|sa2.5|1}}▼
In the Physical Realm, cultivationspren are invisible and unheard to all but their Surgebinder when they wish to be, although the remnants of their vines disintegrating can be seen.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}{{book ref|sa4|i|5}}
=== Nahel bond ===
Cultivationspren can form [[Nahel
== History ==
}}
While the origins of the cultivationspren are unknown, it's possible that they were created by [[Cultivation]] herself.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} Back in the [[Heraldic Epochs]], cultivationspren began forming [[Nahel
Shortly before the [[True Desolation]], they saw the [[honorspren]] and the [[Cryptic]]s begin to bond humans again, and decided that they must keep up. The [[Ring]], their ruling body, sent [[Wyndle]] to bond with [[Lift]], and possibly some other spren as well.{{book ref|sa2.5|2}}{{book ref|sa2.5|1}}
When travelling through [[Shadesmar]], [[Kaladin]]'s and [[Shallan]]'s group encountered a cultivationspren working as a dock registrar in [[Celebrant]]. He was the one to explain the [[Voidbringer]] presence in the city to them, and later stalled the [[Fused]] so that they could escape.{{book ref|sa3|102}} Wyndle and his Radiant Lift proved invalauable in securing the [[King's Drop]] for Dalinar to use to trap [[Nergaoul]] during the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]].
In the year following the battle, even more cultivationspren bonded with humans to create more Radiants.{{book ref|sa4|3}} The cultivationspren as a group were generally disposed favorably to the newly refounded order of the Edgedancers.{{book ref|sa4|19}}
== Culture ==
Fittingly, cultivationspren seem to worship Cultivation more so than [[Honor]], swearing by her name and calling her Mother.{{book ref|sa3|118}} They are skittery and often fearful, seeking to avoid bringing danger upon themselves.{{book ref|sa2.5|7}}{{book ref|sa3|102}} When push comes to shove, however, they can be relied on regardless of how dangerous a situation is.{{book ref|sa2.5|8}}{{book ref|sa3|102}}
It's unknown what their general attitude towards humans is, but the ones seen so far are not opposed to [[Nahel
Unlike other sapient spren, cultivationspren don't have their own nation or settlements in the [[Cognitive Realm]].{{book ref|sa2.5|2}} Rather, they live alongside other spren in cities where various types intermingle, like [[Celebrant]].{{book ref|sa3|102}} Nonetheless, they have their own government, a council known as the [[Ring]], which in the present day is responsible for choosing which of their kind should bond who.{{book ref|sa2.5|1}}

▲Cultivationspren can form [[Nahel Bond]]s with humans. Through this, they can grant the [[Surgebinding]] abilities of [[Abrasion]] and [[Progression]].{{book ref|sa2.5|2}} Like other Radiant spren, they lose their memories upon entering the [[Physical Realm]], although it seems as though the [[Ring]] has some ability to lessen this effect by careful preparation.{{book ref|sa2.5|1}}{{book ref|sa2.5|2}}

* [[Mayalaran]] ([[deadeye]] of [[Adolin]]'s [[Shardblade]])
