==== The Vriztl Guild Method ====
There exists at least one alternative to the Arnist Method, and while it doesn't have a formal name, it is known to the Vriztl Guild of Thaylenah - and it traditionally involves tuning forks and sound. If a gem can be made to vibrate at a frequency matching one of the pure tones of Roshar, it will draw nearby Light corresponding to that Tone (e.g. a gem vibrating to Honor's tone will draw Stormlight in). To transfer Light from one gem to another, the artifabrian would first use a tuning fork matching the desired tone, and touch it against the full gemstone, making it vibrate with the same frequency. The gem and fork vibrating at a matching frequency allows the artifabrian to lead a line of Light from the full gemstone to an empty one, which - when touched by the tuning fork and also made to vibrate at the matching frequency - would proceed to siphon the Light from the originally full gem, though a small amount of Light is lost in the transfer.{{book ref|sa4|42}}{{book ref|sa4|69}}
=== Intent ===
Anti-Light shares most of the physical and magical properties of ordinary Light: it glows in the physical spectrum (though unlike regular Lights, it appears to warp the air around it, almost as if it is drawing light instead of emitting it), it can be stored in gems, it responds to sound and vibration, and has Intent. One area where anti-Light differs from regular Light - or at least the pure ones - is that it requires Intent to be created, a property it shares with the hybrid Lights. The only known method of creating anti-Light requires dampening the natural vibration of its corresponding Light, isolating it from its Shard's pure tone, and then re-writing it with a different tone, one that has been inverted with Intent. One way to do this involves putting the ordinary Light in vacuum and allowing it to draw near a gemstone that has been made to vibrate to the tone of the desired anti-Light - the ordinary Light's opposite tone.{{book ref|sa4|97}}
Much like each Light's natural vibration can be heard or felt by different species, anti-Light's can too, though its song is not just physically audible, it carries a magical effect too. For example, to a human the song of anti-Voidlight will sound identical to the song of Voidlight, Odium's tone moving to his rhythm, but to a Fused - whose soul is filled with Odium's own Investiture - the song of anti-Voidlight not only sounds different, it also causes intense pain, similar to the discomfort they feel when hearing Odium's opposite tone, but much worse.{{book ref|sa4|97}} The type of

=== Anti-Stormlight ===
=== Other anti-Investiture ===
It is unknown whether hybrid Lights or [[Shards]] outside of the Rosharan system have anti-Investitures of their own. [[Khriss]] states that, though long theorized, the anti-Lights are her first evidence of an anti-Investiture.{{book ref|sa4|part=ars}}
