Stormlight also fuels the process of the [[Parshendi]] converting their Form. This conversion requires a specific type of spren, one for each Form type, and significant amounts of Stormlight as can be found in a Highstorm. (Must it be in a high storm?) Once the conversion has taken place, the Parshendi maintains its new Form with all of its abilities, without any further Stormlight consumption.
Because of the luminescent nature of Stormlight when contained in Gemstones, infused Gemstones are commonly used as a light source on Roshar, much more convenient than fire. Most people carry a few gems with them at all times to use for light. As a result, Stormlight itself is a currency on Roshar, with infused Gemstones being more valuable that dun ones.{{cite}} This becomes more so when [[Urithiru]] is occupied and the need for Stormlight increases, especially when the Highstorm cycle is interrupted by the Everstorm and infused Gemstones become more rare.{{cite}}
Stormlight is also a currency in the [[Cognitive Realm]] of Roshar, with moneychangers in [[Celebrant]] storing it in perfect Gemstones which never go dun.{{book ref|sa3|97}}{{book ref|sa3|99}} A device is used to transfer Stormlight from smaller gemstones into the perfect gemstones, and in exchange one receives credit which can be spent in the city.{{book ref|sa3|99}}
