Honorblades

[Stormblessed04]

If a bonded Knight radiant bonded to an Honorblade, say a Windrunner bonded to the Dustbringer Honorblade, would they gain their own Gravitation and Adhesion and the Division and Abrasion of the Honorblade? If a Knights Radiant bonds to an Honorblade, do they gain the surges of the Honorblade with their own surges?

Yes, a Radiant bonding an Honorblade that granted different surges would gain access to those surges. A radiant who bonded an Honorblade that granted the same surges as their order, they would gain slightly enhanced surgebinding, but it would not be too useful:

Questioner (paraphrased)

If a non-Windrunner picked up Jezrien's Honorblade would they gain Windrunner powers as well?

Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)

Yes.

Questioner (paraphrased)

If a Windrunner picked up that blade, would their abilities be enhanced?

Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)

There would be some compounding but strength is not as much an issue with Surgebinding as is the strength of the spren bond and how much Stormlight you are using.

Perfect, thanks for the answer

As an aside, Brandon has said that by far the easiest way to gain additional Surges (and especially all ten) would be to bond an appropriate combination of Honorblades.

Oh. Well that helps
