By bonding various [[spren]] in the [[highstorm]] or [[Everstorm]], [[singer]]sSingers are capable of changing their '''form''', leading to a different appearance, capabilities and even mental state, as well as changing subtly their [[Spiritual Realm|Spiritual aspect]].{{book ref|sa2|i|5}}{{wob ref|3862}} It is possible that the forms also alter [[Identity]].{{wob ref|12722}} New forms come with a level of instinctual understanding{{book ref|sa4|81}} ​Singers can maintain their form indefinitely, without needing to resupply with [[stormlight]] or [[voidlight]], and can use the abilities granted by the form without needing additional fuel.{{wob ref|11340}} New forms could exist.{{wob ref|14296}}
 
The forms are specializations, and gear the singer towards a particular purpose; for example, warform grants armor and increased strength, making it suitable for combat, while nimbleform grants dexterity, making it good for delicate tasks.{{book ref|sa2|79}}{{book ref|sa2|i|1}} There are also more specific forms, such as artform for creative endeavours, or mateform for breeding.{{book ref|sa2|i|1}} Aside from dullform, every form is associated with a specific type of spren.{{book ref|sa2|i|4}} Ordinarily, what spren a singer will bond -- and thus what form they'll assume -- depends on their mindset during the highstorm. However, capturing a spren in a gemstone and bringing it into the storm all but ensures that a specific form will be selected.{{book ref|sa2|i|5}} Bonding to a [[Sja-anat|corrupted]] spren will give different results.{{wob ref|15322}}
