The '''Order of Lightweavers''' is an order of the [[Knights Radiant]] on Roshar.{{
The Lightweavers
== Ideals of the Lightweavers ==
=== Additional Ideals ===
Unlike the other Orders, the Lightweavers only have the First Ideal as a set form.
=== Truths Spoken ===
<!-- THE EXACT QUOTE FOR SHALLAN'S THIRD IDEAL IS CONTENTIOUS. PLEASE DON'T INCLUDE IT.-->
If [[Elhokar]] had lived long enough to speak his first Truth, it would be to admit that he was a bad king.{{wob ref|11730}}
== Abilities ==
The Lightweavers also have the ability to enter [[Shadesmar]], yet they do not possess the surge of transportation. Exactly how this works has not yet been revealed.
It was also noted by the author of the in-universe book "Words of Radiance" that the members of this order had strange and varied mnemonic abilities which is a kind of [[Resonance]]. Shallan also possesses these abilities.
=== Soulcasting ===
The [[Soulcaster]] enters (or partially enters) the cognitive realm to convince the sentience of an object to change materials, transforming it into something else if successful. Some transformations are more basic than others, with more complicated transformations requiring a more skilled Surgebinder and more [[stormlight]].
=== Lightweaving ===
[[Surgebinding#Illumination|Lightweaving]] deals in illusions. It involves the manipulating waves of sound or light and has a strong spiritual component requiring a certain measure of [[Connection]] and a full mental picture of the desired illusion.
=== Resonance ===
Due to a combination of their two surges, Lightweavers have new, secondary effects, know as a [[Resonance]].{{wob ref|3625}} Lightweavers may have multiple Resonances, with a prominent one being mnemonic abilities.{{wob ref|6740}}{{book ref|sa2|49}} This includes the ability to deliberately memorize a scene, after which the Lightweaver can paint or draw that scene with remarkable accuracy.{{book ref|sa2|1}}{{wob ref|915}} The ability to memorize scenes and reproduce them accurately is similar to the ability of a [[Feruchemist]] to store memories in a [[copper]]mind,{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}} in that both talents involve the removal of a memory from the mind and its replacement in another medium - in the Lightweaver's case, a sketch rather than a coppermind. This ability is affected by the presence of the [[Unmade]].{{cite}} There is an upper limit to how many memories can be stored at once.{{wob ref|3244}} Members of this order generally do not have these mnemonic abilities before bonding a Cryptic and are not something that Cryptics are necessarily interested in when searching for a person to bond with.{{wob ref|1296}} Lightweavers can experience light and color differently and may be able to minutely alter the mood of others.{{wob ref|11531}} It is also implied that they may able to to create a solid illusion by combining their Illumination surge and their Soulcasting.{{book ref|sa3|120}}{{wob ref|3625}}
