(I think it's okay for us to assume they're using diamond chips throughout this scene, in general, though we can create a talk page or talk on Discord if people don't agree. :))
m (→‎Surgebinders: wording change)
For Surgebinders - including both pre-Recreance [[Knights Radiant]] and [[Dalinar]]'s newly restored Orders, as well as wielders of [[Honorblade]]s such as [[Szeth]] prior to his death - the spheres, much like ordinary gemstones, act as a portable, convenient, and inconspicuous source of Stormlight to power their [[Surgebinding|abilities]]. Because of this, Surgebinders often carry pouches full of infused spheres, although if they find themselves in a situation where their own spheres are unavailable, inaccessible, or dun, they are often able to make use of spheres frequently found in the environment.
 
In the days after [[Kaladin]]'s promotion to a captain in [[Dalinar]]'s army, [[Sigzil]] attempts to establish a baseline for how efficient Kaladin's use of a [[Surgebinding#Full_Lashing|Full Lashing]] is by measuring the amount of time it takes for the light from diamond chips to run out of Stormlight, first with [[Rock]] hanging from a stone lashed to the wall (20 seconds), then by a stone lashed without an attached weight (about 87-91 seconds). Sigzil's experiments don't progress much further than that, unfortunately, so better data is still unavailable.{{book ref|sa2|12}}
