=== Voidlight ===
{{for|Voidlight|more information}}
Historically, Odium's Light only found its way to Roshar during Desolations when Odium - or in the case of the False Desolation, [[Ba-Ado-Mishram]] - would supply it directly to his servants, provided they sung the Song of Prayer.{{book ref|sa4|67}} Since the arrival of the Everstorm, it can be obtained much more easily - though it appears that it doesn't naturally infuse gems in the way Stormlight does during highstorms.{{cite}} Like Stormlight, it can be stored in gems, but it leaks much more slowly {{cite}} - likely the source of Szeth's belief that the Voidbringers can hold Stormlight (in actuality, Voidlight) indefinitely. {{cite}}
Voidlight glows with a distinct purple-on-black glow described as "hyperviolet"{{book ref|sa4|16}} - possibly the Rosharan or Alethi term for either superviolet or a chimerical color. When its illumination is split through a prism, Voidlight produces a rainbow with an "enormous" violet band, dwarfing all other colors.{{book ref|sa4|65}} When drawn in and held, Odium's Light enflames emotions,{{book ref|sa4|67}} though at least in singers it doesn't infuse their entire body - like Stormlight does - but instead goes to their gemheart.{{book ref|sa4|67}} Its rhythm is chaotic, but with a certain strange logic to it.{{book ref|sa4|76}}

=== Lifelight ===
Lifelight, or Cultivation's Light, is perhaps the rarest of the three pure Lights. Some of it can be found in the [[Valley]], in the form of green mist.{{wob ref|12207}} [[Lift]] is uniquely able to produce it by metabolizing food,{{book ref|sa4|60}} but no other ways of obtaining it are currently known. It appears very similar to Stormlight, a nearly pure white light, but where Stormlight has a slight blue tint, Lifelight has a slight green one. When its illumination is split through a prism, it produces a rainbow with a larger green band.{{book ref|sa4|65}} Its rhythm is stark and staccato, but it builds. Lifelight shares Stormlight's effect on plants but to a superior degree, stimulating their growth when combined with the proper rhythm.{{book ref|sa4|76}}
