'''Lightweaving''' is a manifestation of [[Investiture]] on [[Yolen]] that originates prior to the [[Shattering]] of [[Adonalsium]].{{wob ref|8909}} All pure illusion magic is considered Lightweaving.{{wob ref|7252}}
 
== Abilities and Weaknesses ==
Yolish Lightweaving allows for the creation of optical and auditory illusions.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} Lightweavers can use this to make disguises, and to produce light.{{wob ref|5775}} and is able to produce light.{{wob ref|12579}} It could also make illusions in smoke such as making images of [[Derethil|people]] and [[Wandersail|ships]].{{book ref|sa1|57}}{{wob ref|8329}} All illusion magic will work in a similar manner.{{wob ref|7252}} Illusion magic is capable of creating auditory and visual manifestations either independent of a Lightweaver (i.e. fixed in place) or linked to a host.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} Both require a steady source of [[Investiture]]. These manifestations are linked to a person's mind and are largely a mental creation having no physical mass. They are capable of movement. However this is more complicated than a static image and requires greater mental control to function. The range of an image is limited to its proximity to a source of Investiture. As the Lightweaver moves away from an image it will begin to blur and then dissolve when its connection is broken. Increased focus on the part of a Lightweaver can increase the range but not greatly. Lightweaving would be affected by aphantasia.{{wob ref|14331}}
 
Lightweaving does not always seem to function perfectly on [[Roshar]].{{wob ref|9346}} Their powers on the [[shardworld]] can be limited, and they can have trouble making some aspects of the magic work, even after multiple attempts.{{wob ref|9346}} It is uncertain why this occurs and whether or not this issue is unique to Roshar.
 
Yolish Lightweaving is limited in some ways and may not always function perfectly,{{wob ref|9346}} though [[Surgebinding#Illumination|Rosharan Lightweavers]] may be able to help them fully craft an illusion.{{book ref|sa3|82}} Conversely, under certain circumstances, a Yolish Lightweaver may be able to guide a Rosharan Lightweaver's power.{{wob ref|9346}}
=== Interactions with Rosharan Lightweaving ===
Yolish Lightweaving is much less restrictive than the later Rosharan [[Surgebinding#Illumination|variant]],{{book ref|sa2|45}} and does not require a [[spren]] or [[Stormlight]] to function.{{wob ref|8909}}{{book ref|sa4|78}} Yolish Lightweaving does not always seem to function perfectly on Roshar,{{wob ref|9346}} and Yolish Lightweavers may need help from Rosharan Lightweavers to fully craft an illusion.{{book ref|sa3|82}} A Yolish Lightweaver may be able to guide a Rosharan Lightweaver's power.{{wob ref|9346}}
 
Yolish Lightweaving does not require one to be bonded to a [[spren]] to use it,{{wob ref|8909}} though beyond that its method of [[Initiation]] is unknown. Gaining Rosharan Lightweaving can make Yolish Lightweaving more powerful and removes some of its limitations.{{wob ref|8473}}{{wob ref|9346}}
Gaining Rosharan Lightweaving allows for some supplemental ability with Yolish Lightweaving,{{wob ref|8473}} and could allow Yolish Lightweavers to overcome the issue of crafting illusions on Roshar, although further impacts or [[resonance]]s between the two are unknown.{{wob ref|8664}} Yolish Lightweaving has a compounding effect with Rosharan Lightweaving, and likely allows Yolish Lightweavers to circumvent the problems they can experience with Yolish Lightweaving.{{wob ref|8473}} Access to both Lightweaving Investitures brings the user close to something related to the [[Dawnshard]]s.{{wob ref|15140}}
