"The most powerful forms of Surgebinding transcend traditional mortal understanding," Nikli said, referring to the power of the Dawnshards. But he called it "Surgebinding." We've seen various hints elsewhere that mortals with access to the highest levels of Surgebinding have the power to destroy the world. That's what happened in Ashyn, and Nale told Szeth that that's why he's hunting down proto-Radiants: because if one of them were to reach the Fifth Oath, they would command the dangerous power of high-level Surgebinding. But who do we know who actually is a bonded Radiant of the fifth oath? "I'm not just the President of the Bond Club for Spren... I'm also a member!" Oh, and BTW he's also insane. And fighting for the enemy, on the side of the evil god whose followers used high-level Surgebinding to destroy their last world. Which he may remember from personal experience, and possibly even participated in. And he also has his Honorblade, which may or may not further increase his power. (Do we have any WOBs on this subject?) We need to keep a very close eye on Nale. The Sleepless have it wrong; right now the best candidate for world-destroyer that we have is the fallen Herald of Justice! Edited November 6, 2020 by Mason Wheeler 2
