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.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content 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.[1]
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 [citation needed], used only by Ardents and in extreme secrecy.
Known Soulcasters
Jasnah and Shallan both possessed Soulcasting abilities.
