=== Sand ===
In [[Warbreaker]], [[Lightsong]] calls Hoid to tell the story of [[Hallandren]] history to him and [[Siri]]. As he told the story, he dropped sands, dusts, and small objects.

- this part is kind of theory, but everything that he used is listed
- by theory I mean that I would like to have a table with everything that he used and what it symbolized, but...that' probably noncanonical
- you may want to reorganize the way I have it, and I have some ways that I can do it if you don't want to,
- but I do think that this should be here, somewhere on the wiki.

As he told the story he began by trailing sand out of his hand, then he added a powdery black sand, when both trails mixed it became a white sand. He began to scatter fern leaves and then threw the handful up with blue and deep red dust making it seem like a minor explosion. He sprinkled silver glitter in front of him, then trailed powdery brown dirt. Black dust, and then [[Tears of Edgli|flower petals]]. He then sent out a spray of half a dozen colors from both hands. Then bright yellow dust from one hand and black from the other. Torn written on paper, followed by metal bits, black charcoal dust from both hands, he crumbled clay, sprinkled golden dust around, bits of grass and earth, a white powder and then a spray of water that turned into mist.

=== Smoke ===
While telling stories with smoke he uses a flute, blowing the smoke, it may be [[Lightweaving]] that causes patterns and images to appear in smoke.
In [[The Way of Kings]] the chasms echoed the music allowing him to speak and play without the music ever seeming to stop. It is unclear how the flute could be used without chasms or canyons. <!-- maybe he lightweaves sound, or the sound of the wind? was the smoke colored? -->
