After the first day of Adolin’s trial had come to a close, Shallan deliberately injured herself by falling from a tree to gain access to the honorspren [[Investiture]] storeroom. Despite their worn relationship, Pattern assisted Shallan and helped to 're-enforce' the severity of her supposed injuries to Lusintia who had been following Shallan. After being admitted to the storeroom, Shallan stole a perfect gemstone, replacing it with a dun one using sleight of hand. Leaving the storeroom, Shallan escaped with the stolen [[Stormlight]].{{book ref|sa4|87}}
 
Prior to Adolin’s final day of trial, Shallan scoped out Kalak’s house, to get information on the best way to infiltrate it and kill the Herald. The next morning, she left her temporary accommodation disguised as Lusintia and made her way to the Herald’s abode. Pattern interrupted her on her way there, trying to introduce Shallan again to Testament and have the Lightweaver acknowledge her past. Shallan sent Pattern away, not wanting to hear what he had to say, before continuing on to Kalak’s house. Once inside, Veil confronted Shallan about Formless and forced her to remember what Shallan had done as a child when she had been bonded to Testament. Duty done, Veil disappeared, being reintegrated into Shallan. Kalak discovered Shallan in his house shortly after her ordeal, and although the Lightweaver acknowledgeacknowledged that she had been sent to kill Kalak, she had instead decided to try and work with him.{{book ref|sa4|93}}
 
Lusintia, Sekeir, and several other honorspren found Shallan and Kalak not long after the Herald confronted her, and accused the Lightweaver of trying to influence her husband’s trial. Despite Kalak’s denial, the honorspren took Shallan into custody, to be held until the trial was completed. They also detained Kalak, with Sekeir taking his place to oversee the final day of the court proceedings.{{book ref|sa4|93}}{{book ref|sa4|94}}
