"The Windrunners use the Surges of Adhesion and Gravitation. The combination of these two Surges resulted in the three Lashings. Someone wearing Shardplate is immune to Lashings, but any objects that they are touching can be affected. Using a combination of Adhesion and Gravitation, a Windrunner could theoretically exit orbit. The Skybreakers are able use the Surges of Gravitation and Division. The full extent of their powers are so far unknown. They are able to use a Basic Lashing like the Order of Windrunners, since they share the Gravitation Surge. While there are slight differences in how the Surges behave between Orders, Gravitation largely looks the same between the two. They also have the Surge of Division, which allows them to destroy or degrade things around them. Skybreakers do not have access to the Surge of Division until after the Third Ideal. Restricting access to Surges based on oaths is rare among the Orders and few do it. The only other Order currently known to do so are the Dustbringers, who share the Surge of Division. The Edgedancers use the Surges of Abrasion and Progression. The Surge of Protection allows them to make plants or other organic objects grow much faster than normal. They can also heal, and although the extent of this ability is unknown, it seems that the wielder is even able to heal others from wounds suffered from Shardblades. The Surge of Abrasion grants them the ability to manipulate friction. They can apply this in different ways. In close range combat, this ability can make them hard to be stopped or grabbed. When used to decrease wind friction and friction on feet, they can travel long distances at considerable speeds, though keeping balance without friction requires a lot of practicing. They have been described, poetically, as being able 'to ride the thinnest rope at speed, dance across rooftops, and move through a battlefield like a ribbon on the wind.' The Elsecallers use the Surges of Transformation and Transportation. The Stonewards use the Surges of Cohesion and Tension. Their exact Powers are so far unknown. This ability is based on the surge of cohesion. This ability lets them reshape things other than stone, but not flesh. The Truthwatchers use the Surges of Progression and Illumination. Progression was used by Ym to heal a small boy's foot of an infection. Lift, an Edgedancer, also used it to cause seeds to grow suddenly into plants. Illumination is used by Shallan Davar, member of the Order of Lightweavers, to craft illusions by weaving light, sound and various waveforms. She uses this to change her own appearance for disguses or other purposes, create illusions of walls and rocks to hide behind and in, and to create illusions of herself to confuse or distract. Truthwatchers may be able to perform similar feats, however there may be differences in how they use the Surge. The Lightweavers use the Surges of Illumination and Transformation. The Lightweavers also have the ability to enter Shadesmar, yet they do not possess the surge of transportation. Exactly how this works has not yet been revealed. It was also noted by the author of the book "Words of Radiance" that the members of this order had strange and varied mnemonic abilities which is a kind of Resonance. The Willshapers use the Surges of Transportation and Cohesion. Transportation allows Willshapers to transport themselves into or out of Shadesmar in the flesh. Cohesion allows them to alter the shape of solid objects. It is not yet known how these powers are used in practice. Dustbringers can use the Surges of Division and Abrasion. Division gives Dustbringers the ability to cause objects to burn, degrade, or turn to dust. They appear to have a great amount of control over this ability. Division also works on living flesh. Abrasion gives Dustbringers the ability to alter the frictional force between two surfaces. One Dustbringer uses this ability to decrease friction between herself and the water of the Purelake, allowing her to move through it unimpeded. The Edgedancers often use this Surge to decrease friction between their bodies and other surfaces, allowing them to move around with ease, and to make objects slippery to anyone other than themselves; Dustbringers can likely use Abrasion in a similar manner. It is unclear whether Dustbringers can use Abrasion to increase the friction between two objects. The Bondsmiths have access to Tension, the Surge of Soft Axial Interconnection, and Adhesion, the Surge of Pressure and Vacuum. While they are capable of performing the same mundane abilities they share with their adjacent orders, the powers of the Bondsmiths are generally used in very different ways. Their powers even tend to work differently for one Bondsmith than another. Their ability to manipulate Connection gives them great influence over the nature of oaths, bonds, and power. Their access to raw levels of Investiture is the greatest among the orders of Radiants."
"Oh, yes. You don't need a spren for the first ideal."

Vapor looks down, blushing slightly.
