There are three primary, or "pure" Lights in the Rosharan system, one for each Shard.

=== Stormlight ===
{{for|Stormlight|more information}}
Honor's Light has been a core part of life on Roshar, both literally in the renewing and refreshing energy it provides to the planet's flora and fauna, and figuratively - in the numerous ways it is being used by people in their everyday life. It is delivered primarily through the highstorms, and glows with a steady white light, with a slight, nearly imperceptible blue tint. When its illumination is split through a prism, it produces a rainbow with a larger blue band. When drawn in and held by a Surgebinder, it encourages motion and action. Stormlight's - Honor's - rhythm is a stately one.{{book ref|sa4|65}}{{book ref|sa4|67}}{{book ref|sa4|76}}

=== 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 sungsang 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.{{citebook ref|sa4|16}} Like Stormlight, it can be stored in gems, but it leaks much more slowly - likely-possibly the source of Szeth's belief that the Voidbringers can hold Stormlight (in actuality, Voidlight) indefinitely.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}}{{book ref|sa4|16}}
 
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 at least it doesn't infuse their entire body - like Stormlight does - but, instead goesgoing to theirthe gemheart.{{book ref|sa4|67}} Its rhythm is chaotic, but with a certain strange logic to it.{{book ref|sa4|76}}
