Adhesion

The Surge of Adhesion can be manipulated to bind things together.

  • Full Lashing: This ability creates an extremely powerful temporary bond between two objects. To use this ability, the Surgebinder infuses a surface with Stormlight, after which any object or person that comes in contact with the surface will be bound to it. Full Lashing does not necessarily require skin contact; surfaces can be infused by "spraying" the Stormlight onto them. Most objects would break apart themselves before the bond holding them would. The duration of this bond is determined by the amount of Stormlight infused. The bond ends when the Stormlight runs out. Radiants cannot use a full lashing to stick their bodies to something else. 
  • Someone wearing Shardplate is immune to Lashings, but any objects that they are touching can be affected.
  •  Spren (and likely other highly Invested beings) are also immune to full Lashings. The bond also attracts bindspren.
  • Spiritual Adhesion: Using the Surge of Adhesion to manipulate spiritual, rather than purely physical forces, one can touch another person and forge a spiritual Connection between them. This allows the Binder to temporarily speak the other person's native tongue.  It lasts for longer than a few hours, but shorter than a few days.
  • Paired Lashings allow a Binder to infused a full Sphere of Stormlight into an object or thrown weapon such as ball bearing or Kunai knives, and throw the object at a opposite of themselves to gain advantage on attacks on a creature. this effect lasts 10 minutes per Sphere. 

Gravitation

The Surge of Gravitation can be manipulated to change the direction and strength of an object's gravitational attraction.

  • Basic Lashing: This ability alters an object's or being's spiritual gravitational bond to the planet below, instead temporarily linking it to a different direction. It allows the Surgebinder to run up walls, or send objects or people flying off into the air. Lashings only affect gravitational pull and not mass, so different things with different masses will still fall at the same speed. Lashings can only send something in a particular direction and can not be locked into following an object.
  • Lashing can also affect liquids. Surgebinders can rotate themselves in the air using wind resistance, and can also lessen the force of the wind while flying.
  • Taking sharp turns while Lashing can cause the Surgebinder to black out. When Lashing multiple objects or beings at a time, it is possible to create a sort of channel around the group, which will keep them close together. Basic Lashing requires skin contact if the Surgebinder is trying to infuse an external object or being.
  •  Basic Lashing continually consumes the Stormlight with which the object is infused until the object runs out of Stormlight or the Surgebinder dismisses their Lashing; as such, the length of a Basic Lashing is dependent on the amount of Stormlight used.
  • Advanced users of Basic Lashing can employ partial Lashings — a half-Lashing upward, for example, would make the Surgebinder effectively weightless, while a quarter-Lashing would halve the person's weight. It is also possible to use multiple Basic Lashings simultaneously so that the infused object or being will be pulled toward different directions at once or pulled toward a single direction but stronger than gravity normally would. It is possible to only Lash part of an object, though this requires skill.
  • EACH sphere used allows for up to one hour of time and MUST be referred to DM as to the strength of each orbs lashing. For example using 3 spheres equals 3 hours of time where orb one is 1/2 lashing and the remaining two at 3/4 lashing
  • 1/4 Lashing = weight change (Lighter)
  • 1/2 lashing = Weightless
  • 3/4 lashing = weight change (Lighter/Heavier)
  • 1 full Lashing= 3x speed

 

  • Reverse Lashing: (Concentration) By combining the Surges of Gravitation and Adhesion, one can create a bubble around a surface that imitates its spiritual link to the ground beneath it. In effect, this makes the infused object pull other objects towards itself. It is much harder for Reverse Lashing to affect objects touching the ground, where their link to the planet is the strongest; objects falling or in flight are the easiest to influence. Other objects can be affected, but the Stormlight and skill required are much more substantial. This ability is believed to be a specialized version of Basic Lashing. Reverse Lashing requires a command and constant skin contact for it to work, though it consumes comparatively little Stormlight. A Objects infused with a Reverse Lashing do not glow with Stormlight, becoming darker instead along with other things in their vicinity, possibly by pulling light into the object.

 

Windrunners have the special ability to create and transform a melee weapon made of wind on every bonus action to any magical strength based weapon. This ability only requires one Sphere but does use one charge of surgebinding. The binder must first draw a physical melee weapon first as a base.
