* '''Lightweaving''': This ability creates visual and auditory illusions. The illusion is based upon not just what the Surgebinder imagines, but also desires to create, requiring both a mental picturing of and a Spiritual connection to the intended creation.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} Once the creation is shaped, the Surgebinder breathes out a cloud of [[Stormlight]] to form the illusion.{{book ref|sa2|7}} The illusion can be created anywhere, but requires a constant source of Stormlight, so the Surgebinder — or a being the Surgebinder is Spiritually linked to — needs to keep in proximity to it. Because the illusion automatically feeds off of the Surgebinder, the glowing effect common to the Surgebinders as the Stormlight leaks out of their bodies does not happen, andas insteadexcess Stormlight is instead fed to the illusion. Unless the Surgebinder intentionally dissolves the illusionapparition, it will stay active until the Surgebinderthey runs out of Stormlight or leaves theits proximity of the illusion. It is's possible for the Surgebinder to attach the illusion to themself, as well as a being they are Spiritually linked to such as the [[spren]] that forms the [[Nahel bond]], so that the illusion automatically follows thetheir movements of the being to which it is attached. This way, an illusion of a disguise, for example, that the Surgebinder attached to themselves wouldcan mimic the facial expressions of the Surgebinder andor adapt to the clothing or the accessories they are wearing.{{book ref|sa2|60}} Experienced practitioners of this art can also attach the illusion to an object that is infused with Stormlight, forsuch exampleas a [[sphere]].{{book ref|sa3|51}} The illusory image has no substance to it, and if an object physically passes through the illusion, the image temporarily fuzzes to Stormlight until it is reestablished once the object withdraws.{{book ref|sa2|42}} Light itself does not pass through the illusion; if the Surgebinder wants to be able to see thethrough outside while hiding inside the illusionit, they must put holesin toviewing see on the imageholes. The amount of Stormlight the illusion requires depends on the complexity of it.{{book ref|sa2|54}}

** Interactions with Yolish Lightweaving: Rosharan Lightweaving is much more restrictive than the earlier Yolish [[Lightweaving|variant]],{{book ref|sa2|45}} as it requires a spren orand Stormlight to function.{{wob ref|8909}} Yolish Lightweaving, doeshowever, not always seemseems to function perfectlyimperfectly onin Rosharthe current day,{{wob ref|9346}} and Yolishits Lightweaversusers may need help from Rosharan Lightweavers to fully craft an illusion.{{book ref|sa3|82}} A Yolish Lightweaver is able to guide a Rosharan Lightweaver's power.{{wob ref|9346}} Gaining Rosharan Lightweaving allows for some supplemental ability with Yolish Lightweaving,{{wob ref|8473}} and could allow Yolish Lightweavers to overcome the issue of crafting illusions ontheir Roshardifficulties, although further impacts or [[resonance]]s between the two are unknown.{{wob ref|8664}} Rosharan Lightweaving has a compounding effect with Yolish Lightweaving, and likely allows Yolish Lightweavers to circumvent the problems they can experience with Yolish Lightweaving.{{wob ref|8473}}
