=== Abilities ===
Unlike ordinary forms, Regals possess powers that are explicitelyexplicitly supernatural, from shooting lightning from one's hands to understanding and speaking every language in the world (as such, a [[kandra]] wouldn't be able to mimic a Regal).{{wob ref|8520}} These powers do not seem to require any sort of external [[Investiture]] input, but at least some are powered by [[Voidlight]].{{book ref|sa2|i|8}}{{book ref|sa3|i|7}}{{book ref|sa4|67}} They are also generally stronger than normal singers or humans, including forms not intended for fighting.{{book ref|sa4|37}} Moreover, in contrast to [[Fused]] possession, taking on a form of power does not strip the host of their personality, though it can alter their way of thinking.{{wob ref|11426}}
 
On the other hand, the Regal form can be directly spoken to by [[Odium]], though this seems to only occur if the singer is caught in the [[Everstorm]].{{book ref|sa3|i|11}} Odium is also able to exert a significant amount of control over Regals, in a manner similar to the influence [[Ruin]] has over those with [[Hemalurgic]] spikes.{{wob ref|1047}} Most notably, they tend to become more aggressive{{book ref|sa2|i|8}} and have an exceptionally difficult time hearing ordinary [[Rhythm]]s, instead hearing those related to Odium.{{book ref|sa3|109}}{{book ref|sa3|i|7}}{{book ref|sa4|92}} It is possible that Odium can force Regals to obey him.{{book ref|sa2|i|4}} Despite their ties to Odium, Regals are not immune to effects tied to another Shard, such as being pulled into one of [[Dalinar's visions|Honor's visions]] by the [[Stormfather]].{{book ref|sa3|109}}
