—Tumi[1]

Tumi is an mistspren on Roshar, bonded to Rlain. He's one of the true spren that have been Enlightened and transformed by Sja-Anat.[2]

Appearance and Personality

Our bond will be strong, and you will be wondrous. We are awed by you, Rlain.

—Tumi[2]

Very little is known about Tumi. During the occupation of Urithiru, he hid in the gemheart of a cremling to observe Rlain.[2] If he's similar in appearance to the other Enlightned mistspren, Glys, he likely appears as a red crystal dripping light upwards.[3] However, he is yet to show himself.

He's not hostile to singers the way other spren are, and considers it an honor to bond Rlain, even considering him awe-inspiring. He's interesting in exploring new things, as he willingly underwent Sja-Anat's transformation and expressed strong interest in the Rhythm of War, wanting to share the news of it with the rest of his siblings. He's supportive of Rlain and hopeful about their bond, convinced that it will be something wonderful. However, he is also cautions; he hides while in Urithiru, and follows Rlain for at least several days before introducing himself.[1][2]

Abilities and Attributes

Tumi can hide from sight by entering the gemhearts of cremlings; it's unknown how much, if any control he has over the creatures. This allows him to stay hidden from voidspren and Fused alike, even those designed to detect Radiant activity.[2] At times, his speech pattern is somewhat similar to that of the inkspren, using phrases like "salvation will be".[1]

Nahel bond

Tumi is a mistspren, and as such should grant Rlain the abilities of the Order of Truthwatchers. However, he was corrupted by Sja-Anat, changing the properties of the bond.[2] While he should still grant Rlain the Surge of Progression, letting him heal others and grow plants, it's likely Rlain's Illumination will not function as it should for ordinary Truthwatchers.[4] Most notably, he grants Rlain the ability to see visions of the future, and seems able to induce them, or at least encourage them to appear. Like with Glys, the visions take form of images made out of what looks like stained glass.[1]
