As a form of Investiture, Stormlight comes from the [[Spiritual Realm]]. It comes into the [[Physical Realm]] through the [[Stormfather]] in Highstorms.{{wob ref|1760}} Of the three possible forms of Investiture, solid, liquid and gas, Stormlight takes on the form of gas, and appears as a luminescent white vapor.{{cite}} Stormlight itself does not make things cold, even though it comes through the Highstorm. However, the process of a gas converting to a solid, such as when a [[Shardblade]] is formed, can cause a change in temperature and condensation.{{wob ref|1573}}
 
* Can be collected in gems
* Can be collected in the human body, sometimes
 
Stormlight can be collected and stored in different things, the most common being Gemstones. The most common way to collect Stormlight in a Gemstone is to leave it outside during a Highstorm.{{book ref|sa1|11}} The amount of Stormlight collected is not directly proportional to the strength of the Highstorm.{{wob ref|11482}} The amount of Stormlight a Gemstone can hold is directly proportional to the size of the Gemstone.{{cite}} While Gemstones are fairly good containers for Stormlight, the cut and flaws in the Gemstone make it so Stormlight will leak out of the stone over time.{{wob ref|10415}} However, perfectly cut Gemstones can be perfect containers and seemingly hold Stormlight indefinitely.{{cite}}
 
A person can also collect and store Stormlight in their body, although not inherently.{{cite}}. The person must have gained access to a magic system, such as through the Nahel Bond, to be able to store and use Stormlight directly. The most common process for drawing Stormlight ininto the body is through mentally and physically breathing it in. However, not everyone experiences this process exactly the same.{{cite} The body is a very imperfect container for Stormlight and consequentially Stormlight will leak from the body much faster than a Gemstone{{cite}} through the skin, the eyes, and the mouth. Someone holding Stormlight can hold it longer by holding their breath.{{cite}}
 
Stormlight is an integral part of Roshar's ecosystem, and as such it's nature causes it to easily leak from almost any container, unlike [[Breath]] on [[Nathis]] which is naturally sticky.{{wob ref|63}} As Stormlight is used, the amount in the container holding it will be depleted and it is used-up.{{cite}} However it is a renewable resource and will regenerate in the Spiritual Realm to start the process all over.{{cite}}
Stormlight leaks from almost everything because it is part of it's nature to do so, and an internal part of Roshar's Ecosystem.
 
* Part of the ecosystem, so it leaks, but some things can hold it perfectly
* Does not drain faster in a vacuum
* glows (in gems, on human skin)
