Can Kandra Bond Spren

[Atlas333]

So, just a random question, can a kandra bond spren? We know that it's possible for them to use investiture so why not a nahel-bond? I've read that spren would be slightly repelled by a hemalurgic spike but would that apply to a kandra?

Unfortunately it's currently a RAFO.

Is it possible for a kandra to bond a spren?

RAFO. Good question.

Questioner

If someone out of Roshar knows the Immortal Words, and he's, for example, a kandra, can he become a Knight?

Brandon Sanderson

So, becoming a Knight Radiant is up to the spren, right? Saying the Ideals, swearing the oaths, these sorts of things, you have to convince a piece of sapient Investiture that you deserve it, and that's the main thing.

Questioner

And the kandra?

Brandon Sanderson

So, the kandra would have to lots of fast talking, and there are a few more difficulties involved, but this is theoretically possible. For instance, taking some pieces of Investiture offworld are difficult.
