[[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.
It may also be possible for Lightweavers to combine their illusions with Soulcasting in order to give their mirages a certain amount of substance, as Shallan manages to create an illusory army that is capable of offering actual, if limited, resistance toward their foes.
=== Resonance ===
Due to a combination of their two surges, Lightweavers have new, secondary effects, know as a [[Resonance]].{{wob ref|3625}} Lightweavers have many Resonances, with a prominent one dealing with mnemonic abilities.{{wob ref|6740}}{{book ref|sa2|49}} This includes the ability to deliberately memorize a scene (usually involving blinking) 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}} Another mnemonic ability a Lightweaver can have is seeing color and light a little bit differently from how other people do.{{wob ref|11531}} Lightweavers generally do not have these mnemonic abilities before bonding a Cryptic and are not something that Cryptic's are necessarily interested in when searching for a person to bond with.{{wob ref|1296}}
Another Resonance Lightweavers have is an ability to affect a person's mood a little bit based on how the Lightweaver views them.{{wob ref|11531}} They are also able to to create a solid illusion by combining their Illumination surge and their Soulcasting.{{wob ref|3625}}
