Soulcasting is a form of Surgebinding on Roshar.[1] Soulcasting involves manipulating the Surge of Transformation. There is also a type of fabrial that allows anyone to Soulcast.
Soulcasting by Binding a Surge
Soulcasting allows the Surgebinder to transform any material into one of the Ten Essences. The Soulcasting of other materials is also possible but not as simple to accomplish. In general, in order to Soulcast a specific Essence, the Surgebinder needs the corresponding gemstone which is infused with Stormlight.[2] The Soulcasting itself uses the Stormlight.
In order to perform a Soulcasting, the Surgebinder visits Shadesmar. Two orders of the Knights Radiant had inherent Soulcasting ability.[3]
Soulcasting by the use of a fabrial
Users of Soulcasting fabrials had to use stormlight from the corresponding gemstone. The fabrials themselves were considered holy objects [4], used only by Ardents and in extreme secrecy.
The long-term use of a Soulcasting Fabrial seems to have a number of side effects. The ardents (also known as Soulcasters) that utilize these devices develop crystalline eyes and stone-like skin with cracks. There may also be effects on the user's personality, but this may be due to the attitudes of the Soulcaster order of ardents.
