Lift's other power is even more impressive.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} Unlike most Surgebinders, who are able to draw Stormlight from external sources, Lift metabolizes food directly into [[Lifelight]], and uses Lifelight to fuel her Surges instead of Stormlight.{{wob ref|8073}} {{book ref|RoW|60}} Food that she can metabolize quicker, such as bread, can be metabolized into Lifelight faster than something like sausage, but may provide less Lifelight overall because it has fewer calories. Her Lifelight is produced in place of sugar.{{wob ref|67}} However, this is limited to substances that she can normally digest into nutrients.{{wob ref|2506}} She can also convert the energy reserves in her own body into Lifelight. With access to the [[Metallic Arts]], she could theoretically compound [[Feruchemical]] [[bendalloy]] to Lifelight as well.{{wob ref|9272}} These abilities are unique to Lift.{{wob ref|940}} However, this power can be dangerous too, as she often risks malnutrition when she burns through all her excess energy.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} As Lift can only gain Lifelight through metabolizing food,{{wob ref|8073}} she is limited by the amount of food she has eaten. She may be the only person to have ever had one, or all, of these abilities and it may not have been believed possible until she visited Cultivation.{{wob ref|12898}} Lift has always assumed that she metabolized Stormlight, not knowing of Lifelight's existence until captured by [[Mraize]].{{book ref|RoW|60}}

 

 

According to the Stormfather, Lift's boon is unique, as it allows her control over the visions entrusted to him by [[Honor]]. She is able to enter the visions without the Stormfather's help, leaving on her own and taking [[Yanagawn]] with her. This infuriated the Stormfather, as the Nightwatcher had effectively diminished his authority.{{book ref|sa3|42}}
