These ancient singer [[Cognitive_Shadow|shadows]] exist in a state very similar to [[spren]], until they take over a [[singer]] body. This process requires a living singer to open themselves up to bonding a new spren during one of Roshar's invested [[highstorm|storms]], in the same way as they would to adopt a new form. The singer shadows waiting to become a Fused then choose one of these willing, open singers; in a process that causes intense pain to the host, it then takes over the host's body.{{book ref|sa3|i|6}}
The Fused can be killed by conventional means, but they can use [[Voidlight]] to heal.{{book ref|sa4|5}} However, damaging their gemheart is instantly fatal.{{book ref|sa3|79}} The Fused can be permanently killed by being stabbed with a [[raysium]] dagger connected to a gem of [[anti-Voidlight]], provided there is enough anti-Voidlight in the gemstone.{{book ref|sa4|97}} If they are wounded by an insufficient amount of Voidlight to destroy them completely, they may still be wounded sufficiently that they will be reborn mad.{{book ref|sa4|113}} They can also be permanently killed by [[Nightblood]].{{wob ref|10440}}
In the past, Fused couldn't be reborn when the [[Herald]]s stayed on Braize to uphold the [[Oathpact]]. They could be reborn many times during each Desolation and were again sealed away when the Heralds returned to Braize. To avoid this process of rebirth, humans fighting in past Desolations once tried to imprison the Fused rather than kill them; this did not work, as the Fused are able to will their spirits out of their bodies and seek a new host.{{book ref|sa4|14}} In the [[True Desolation]], the Fused use the [[Everstorm]] to great advantage. Not only can they use the Everstorm (instead of relying on highstorms) to possess new living singers, but when they do die, they can immediately Return during the next Everstorm if they can find a living singer willing to take on the burden.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
