As a form of Investiture, Stormlight comes from the [[Spiritual Realm]]. It comes into the [[Physical Realm]] through the [[Stormfather]] in Highstorms.{{wob ref|1760}} Of the three possible forms of Investiture, solid, liquid and gas, Stormlight takes on the form of gas.{{cite}} Stormlight itself does not make things cold, even though it comes through the Highstorm. However, the process of a gas converting to a solid, such as when a [[Shardblade]] is formed, can cause a change in temperature and condensation.{{wob ref|1573}}
* Can be collected in gems
* Can be collected in the human body, sometimes
* Leaks, but some things can hold it perfectly▼
Stormlight can be collected and stored in different things, the most common being Gemstones. The most common way to collect Stormlight in a Gemstone is to leave it outside during a Highstorm.{{book ref|sa1|11}} The amount of Stormlight collected is not directly proportional to the strength of the Highstorm.{{wob ref|11482}} The amount of Stormlight a Gemstone can hold is directly proportional to the size of the Gemstone.{{cite}} While Gemstones are fairly good containers for Stormlight, the cut and flaws in the Gemstone make it so Stormlight will leak out of the stone over time.{{wob ref|10415}} However, perfectly cut Gemstones can be perfect containers and seemingly hold Stormlight indefinitely.{{cite}}
A person can also collect and store Stormlight in their body, although not inherently{{cite}}. The person must have gained access to a magic system, such as through the Nahel Bond to be able to store and use Stormlight directly. The most common process for drawing Stormlight in the body is through mentally and physically breathing it in. However, not everyone experiences this process exactly the same.
Stormlight leaks from almost everything because it is part of it's nature to do so, and an internal part of Roshar's Ecosystem.
* Does not drain faster in a vacuum
* glows (in gems, on human skin)
* healing
* fabrials
* Other magic systems
* Currency in both realms
Stormlight can be used to fuel the operation of [[fabrial]]s or [[Surgebinder|Surgebinding]] abilities.{{expand}} To use Stormlight, a Surgebinder breathes in the Stormlight and then uses it to power their usage of the various Surges.
