This page or section deals with theories or speculation.
Please read carefully and note that this is not necessarily canonical.

Only known person to use Lightweaving is Shallan Devar who is a member of the Order of Lightweavers. The Order of Lightweavers powers of illusion are similar to the original Yolen magic[2]. See Order of Lightweavers for more information on Roshar based Lightweaving.[1][3] Hoid is suspected to be a user of this style of magic.


Description of Use

All Illusion magic will work in a similar manner.[1] Illusion magic is capable of creating auditory and visual manifestations either independent of a user (i.e. fixed in place) or linked to a host. Both require a steady source of Investiture. These manifestations are linked to a persons 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 (i.e. Stormlight) as the user 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 user can increase the range but not greatly. Lightweaving created by a Surgebinder when disturbed blurs into a haze of the Stormlight that it is created from.
