'''Voidbinding''' is a manifestation of [[Investiture]] on [[Roshar]] of which little is known. It is connected to [[Odium]] and his [[Unmade]],{{wob ref|11353}}
== Prerequisites ==
One of the most common powers associated with Voidbinding is prophecy and foresight.{{book ref|twok|18}}{{wob ref|8904}} According to the [[ardent]]s, even the [[Herald]]s denounced its use. Whether or not this is true or a myth is yet to be seen, although [[Jasnah]] believes this to be true. Regardless, in [[Vorin]] nations, ''any'' type of prediction is considered to be taboo.{{book ref|twok|i|6}} The ardents worried that [[Dalinar]]'s [[Dalinar's visions|visions]] were connected to Voidbinding, although since the visions come from [[Honor]], that was an unfounded concern.{{book ref|twok|75}}
The Vorin reluctance to guess the future led to the rise of games like [[breakneck]], that don't require directly guessing the future.{{book ref|twok|i|6}} Many Vorins are distrustful of [[stormwarden]]s, since they predict when [[highstorm]]s are going to occur.{{book ref|twok|60}}

=== Voidish Surges ===
There are glyphs on the Voidbinding chart that share position with and are variations of the Surge glyphs on the [[Surgebinding]] chart. Instead of the axial symmetry of the Surge glyphs, the glyphs on the Voidbinding chart exhibit rotational symmetry.{{file ref|TWoK Front Endsheet.jpg|Surgebinding Chart}}{{file ref|TWoK Rear Endsheet.jpg|Voidbinding Chart}} It may be that these glyphs represent either alternatives to, or variant expressions of, the Surges in Surgebinding.
