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 {{cite}} - likely-possibly the source of Szeth's belief that the Voidbringers can hold Stormlight (in actuality, Voidlight) indefinitely.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}}{{citebook 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}}
