In Words of Radiance, Shallan discovered the ability to project incoporeal images into life although incorporealexistence. Due to a lack of practice and experience, she could initially only create the images after sketching them first, and she wascould unablenot to moremake them move. She also discovered that she could use Pattern to project sounds when they were in the image. The range of an image is limited to its proximity to a source of Investiture as the user moves away from an image it will begin to blur and then dissolve when its connection is broken, increased focus on the part of a user can increase the range but not greatly. When combining her Illumination abilities with Dalinar's own abilities, Shallan was shown to be able to construct a visual map of Roshar entirely out of stormlight even though she had not visited the entire continent. {{book ref|sa3|8}}

After practicing her abilities, Shallan learned how to make her illusions move without the aid of her spren. ShallanShe was also shown to use Illumination without drawing her images beforehand as seen when she conjured images from a play she watched as a child and, later, an army to fight the [[VoidbringersOdium|Odium's]] forces. During the [[Battle of Kholinar]], Shallan was also shown to be capable of making more solid illusions. While the reason for this is unknown, Jasnah commented that Shallan's projections appeared to have some substance to them as if it had more stormlight than usual while Shallan briefly wondered if she mixed her Soulcasting abilities with this Surge. {{book ref|sa3|121}} {{book ref|sa3|120}}
