Towerlight is the very substance of the spren known as the [[Sibling]], and as they are the child of Honor and Cultivation, so is Towerlight the product of the melding of these two Shards' Investitures, tones, and rhythms. It can only be created by the Sibling and their Bondsmith, though the imprisonment of Ba-Ado-Mishram rendered them unable to produce more than small amounts - enough to power only the most essential of Urithiru's fabrials;{{book ref|sa4|69}} a deficiency that appears to have ended when [[Navani]] Kholin]] became the Sibling's current Bondsmith. A key factor in the creation of Towerlight is the Sibling's ability to hear both of their parents' songs - Cultivation's, which they could hear and sing on their own, and Honor's, which Navani had to provide for them.{{book ref|sa4|110}} Because of this, it is unclear whether the Sibling is truly "healed", or losing the bond - and Navani - would mean that they lose Towerlight once again.

In appearance, Towerlight resembles both Stormlight and Lifelight, as it glows with a soft blue-green light. When split through a prism, it produces two rainbows of color, one with a wider blue band, and one with a wider green one.{{book ref|sa4|65}} Towerlight's rhythm - the Rhythm of the Tower - evokes the "boundless energy of Cultivation, always growing and changing, and the calm solidity of Honor - organized, structured."{{book ref|sa4|110}} The psychological effects of holding Towerlight are unknown.
