|Hoid on Lightweaving to Shallan{{book ref|sa2|45}}
}}
Hoid has access to an Invested Art known as Lightweaving that originates from Yolen prior to the Shattering of Adonalsium.{{wob ref|8909}} Lightweaving allows for the creation of optical and sonic illusions.{{book ref|sa2|ars}} This Lightweaving was much less restrictive than the later Rosharan variant,{{book ref|sa2|45}} and did not require a spren or Stormlight to function.{{wob ref|8909}} Hoid sometimes makes use of this ability in his disguises{{wob ref|5775}} although he also makes uses of practical effects as well.{{epigraph ref|sa3|35}} He may also make use of it in some of his storytelling,{{wob ref|8329}} such as the pictures of [[Derethil]] and the [[Wandersail]] Kaladin sees in the smoke when Hoid is telling him a story.{{book ref|sa1|57}}
Hoid's Yolish Lightweaving does not always seem to function perfectly on Roshar, in fact he needs help from Shallan to fully craft an illusion.{{book ref|sa3|82}} It is uncertain why this occurs and whether or not this issue is unique to Roshar. Hoid's bonding of a cryptic will allow for some supplemental ability with his Lightweaving{{wob|8473}} and may allow him to overcome this issue crafting illusions, although further impacts or resonances between the two are unknown.{{wob ref|8664}}
