The Lightweavers were [[Surgebinder]]s who had access to the Surges of Illumination and Transformation. They were practicioners of [[Lightweaving]] and [[Soulcasting]]. They also used a [[Nahel bond]], specifically with [[Cryptic]]s as demonstrated by [[Shallan Davar]] in Words of Radiance.
==Historical==
Many members of this order before the Recreance were interested in the arts so there were many writers, artists, musicians, painters, sculptors among their numbers.
The Lightweavers provided spiritual sustenance even for the other orders.

==Quotes==
{{quote|Yet, were the orders not disheartened by so great a defeat, for the Lightweavers provided spiritual sustenance; they were enticed by those glorious creations to venture on a second assault.
—From Words of Radiance, chapter 21, page 10|{{ref|b|sa2|c|47}}}}
{{quote|These Lightweavers, by no coincidence, included many who pursude the arts; namly: writers, artists, musicians, painters, sculptors. Considering the order's general temperament, the tales of their strange and varied mnemonic abilities may have been embellished.
—From Words of Radiance, chapter 21, page 10|{{ref|b|sa2|c|49}}}}
{{quote|As to the other orders that were inferior in this visiting of the far realm of spren, the Elsecallers were prodigiously benevolent, allowing others as auxiliary to their visits and interactions; though they did never relinquish their place as prime liaisons with the great ones of the spren; and the Lightweavers and Willshapers both also had an affinity to the same, though neither were true masters of that realm.
—From Words of Radiance, chapter 6, page 2|{{ref|b|sa2|c|53}}}}
{{quote|Malchin was stymied, for though he was inferior to none in the arts of war, he was not suitable for the Lightweavers; he wished for his oaths to be elementary and straightforward, and yet their spren were liberal, as to our comprehension, in definitions pertaining to this matter; the process included speaking truths as an approach to a threshold of self-awareness that Malchin could never attain.
