Honorblade with Nahel Efficiency

[JustQuestin2004 he/him]

So the Honorblade's whole thing is that they can grant anyone access to Surgebinding at the drawback of not being as efficient with Stormlight as the Nahel Bond, so my question is this:

If a Surgebinder held an Honorblade with entirely different Surges, like a Windrunner with the Lightweaver blade, would the presence of the Nahel Bond get rid of the inefficiency problem?

I would say no with a caveat , the increased efficiency of Nahel Bond is due to increased depth of the bond and Honorblade is a separate bond

A full-blown Radiant can heal almost anything (cut from a Shardblade included) because of the way the magic works--their soul is literally bonded to Investiture, and it suffuses them in such a way that even the soul is very resilient to damage.

Honorblades are what you'd consider a "prototype" for what eventually happened with Shardblades. An Honorblade can be used by anyone, without need for oaths, which makes them very dangerous--but since the bond isn't as deep, they are far less efficient. They use more Stormlight, for example, and can't heal to the extent that a Radiant can.

So the difference is not in the device that did the damage, but in the method using to heal. Over the course of the first two book, the reader should be able to subtly pick out differences from what Szeth says is possible (in more than just healing) and what Kaladin experiences.

so I would expect the Honorblade given Surges to remain inefficient. It would be sort of as if the person was e.g. 4th Oath Windrunner and bonded lets say Cryptic becoming also 1st Oath Lightweaver, those new Surges are not as 'deep' in their spiritweb yet. That is my expectation at least.

The healing however, would remain equally efficient I would expect, maybe even boosted a bit (as there are two different sources now).

That makes sense, the Bonds would be separate things, only interacting via their effects on the person and not each other.
