Mistspren in general are curious; the idea of seeing something through a new perspective, or finding out how other creatures think, seems interesting to them.{{book ref|sa4|24}}{{book ref|sa4|i|2}} Perhaps for this reason, they are the most willing to be Enlightened by [[Sja-Anat]], and many go to her willingly to be transformed.{{wob ref|14512}}{{book ref|sa4|54}} They seem highly empathetic and supportive of their [[Knights Radiant|Radiants]].{{book ref|sa4|111}}{{book ref|sa4|117}} They aren't opposed to bonding [[singer]]s, though it's unknown how prevalent this attitude is among them.{{book ref|sa4|111}}
 
In the [[Cognitive Realm]], many mistspren work aboard [[honorspren]] ships as regular crewmembers. They are noted as doing all the work aboard the ships, but do not seem to be particularly despondent about it.{{book ref|sa3|108}} Despite being able to assume many different shapes, they generally prefer humanusing a humanoid one.{{book ref|sa4|24}} There seemseems to be two prevalent naming schemes among them - descriptive, like [[Dreaming-though-Awake]], and seemingly meaningless, like [[Glys]] and [[Tumi]]. It's unclear if this is because Dreaming-though-Awake comes from a different culture than the others, or if the latter two took on new names upon being Enlightened.
 
== Abilities ==
In the [[Cognitive Realm]], mistspren can change their form into nonhumannon-humanoid oneshapes.{{book ref|sa4|24}} It's unknown how much control over their form they have in the Physical, although the corrupted spren, at least, can hide themselves inside the bodies of their bonded [[Surgebinder]].{{book ref|sa3|116}} They can also enter the [[gemheart]]s of various creatures; in case of [[cremling]]s, this gives them some ability to control their direction.{{book ref|sa4|111}}
 
They can form a [[Nahel Bond]] to make a person a [[Truthwatcher]], in exchange for retaining their sapience in the [[Physical Realm]]. Ordinarily, they grant their partner the abilities of [[Progression]] and [[Illumination]], allowing for healing and creating illusions. In a bond altered by [[Sja-Anat]], the Progression surge is retained, while Illumination isn't fully functional.{{book ref|sa4|6}} However, Enlightened mistspren grant their partner the ability to see visions of the future. In a more advanced bond, the mistspren can also record the vision and re-view it later.{{book ref|sa4|54}}
