|As always, questions teased her. Questions were disorder awaiting organization. The more you understood, the more the world aligned. The more the chaos made sense, as all things should.{{book ref|sa4|76}}

Navani resumed her studies on the crystal pillar beneath Urithiru, but reached another dead end in her research.{{book ref|sa4|19}} Attempting to focus her attention elsewhere, she paid a visit to [[Falilar]] and [[Tomor]], who presented her with a lifting fabrial that enabled the redirection of force. Navani wore the device and participated in some experiments that tested its practical applications. Falilar showed her a shaft in Urithiru that was rigged with pulleys and weights, which would provide the manpower for the device. Inspired, Navani encouraged him to refine the design and experiment with the pulley system.{{book ref|sa4|19}}
==== Trials of the Tower ====

During the departure of the coalition's forces, Navani bade Dalinar goodbye as she warned him about Taravangian's potential schemes. Thought it troubled her that Dalinar wanted to take Gavinor to the front lines in Emul, she permitted him to do so, since Dalinar argued that he wanted to be more involved with their grandson. She asked Jasnah to watch over Dalinar on the battlefield and keep him out of the fighting.{{book ref|sa4|27}}
On the first day of the occupation, Navani told Raboniel that she and her scholars would accept their offer. Pleased, Raboniel asked Navani to sketch the schematics of Fourth Bridge's flying platform. While sketching, Navani realized with help from Raboniel that Soulcasters, the tower's elevators, and other abnormal fabrials were comprised directly of spren, instead of powered by spren trapped in gemstones.{{book ref|sa4|46}}
Under the watchful eye of singer guards, Navani directed her scholars to occupy themselves with busy work and revisions as a stalling tactic. When Raboniel cut her off from direct contact with her scholars, she instructed them to continue researching Voidlight fabrials and sent them nonsense ciphered messages to occupy Raboniel's spies. She continued to communicate with the Sibling, using the Sibling's awareness of the tower to get information on Raboniel and deciding that her most important goal was to protect the Sibling. They were distrustful of her, both because of her use of fabrials and her human ability to twist words convincingly, but helped her contact Kaladin, updating him on their situation.{{book ref|sa4|49}} However, this method of communication was turned against her when she convinced the Sibling to give her the location of the node in the well, only to discover that Raboniel had been listening in on their conversations. Kaladin managed to destroy the node, but the Sibling felt betrayed and refused to talk to Navani for a while. Raboniel brought her food and wine, and they had a conversation about the history of the conflict between humans and singers and Raboniel's desire to end the war at any cost. When Navani mentioned no longer wishing to do research under Raboniel, Raboniel appealed to her curiosity and convinced her to continue. They began collaborating, and Navani came to a realization about how using Honor's, Odium's, and Cultivation's rhythms could affect the Light. Raboniel taught her Honor's rhythm, and with Raboniel singing Odium's rhythm at the same time as Navani sang Honor's, they were able to create Warlight, the combination of Stormlight and Voidlight, for the first time, as well as a rhythm that Raboniel titled the Rhythm of War. Navani then realized Raboniel's true desire for the experiments - to find anti-Light - and knew that Gavilar's strange sphere was an example of this anti-Light, although she did not reveal that.{{book ref|sa4|76}}
== Relationships ==
At the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], Adolin seeks Navani to protect her and give her the news on Elhokar's death. He provided her comfort.{{book ref|sa3|120}}
=== Raboniel ===
Navani agrees, when pressured, to work under Raboniel and research the different types of Light. She calls Raboniel Ancient One as directed, and although she does not trust her, shares her findings in the name of scientific discovery. She is interested in the scientific and historical insights Raboniel has to offer, but understands that they are enemies.
Raboniel respects Navani and her scientific mind, saying she is in debt to Navani {{book ref|sa4|76}} and giving her the title Voice of Lights.
