Also similarly, Voidlight provides healing to the person infused with it.{{book ref\|sa3\|79}} However, Fused do not lose Voidlight when not using it, and it can power their Surges for far longer, albeit more weakly.{{wob ref\|9412}} Holding it has some sort of emotional impact, though different from Stormlight's.{{wob ref\|11750}} Several [[Unmade]] are associated with Voidlight. Bonding with [[Yelig-nar]] causes a person to grow violet crystals, including a [[gemheart]] pulsing with Voidlight.{{book ref\|sa3\|120}} The sphere containing [[Nergaoul]] glows dark purple.{{book ref\|sa3\|121}}{{book ref\|sa3\|prologue}} Moreover, when Dalinar sees [[Odium]]'s true nature, the fire it burns with has the same coloring.{{book ref\|sa3\|57}} [[Larkin]]s are capable of feeding on Voidlight, with no apparent ill effects.{{book ref\|sa3\|i\|13}} == Trivia == ~~{{theory}}~~ * The appearance of Voidlight is inspired by [https://www.thoughtco.com/impossible-colors-introduction-4152091 Stygian colors], a type of chimerical colors.{{wob ref\|12842}} A chimerical color can be "perceived" when a person stares at one color until the cones in their eyes tire, then looks at another, with an afterimage causing the colors to mix into imaginary shades in the observer's brain. Stygian colors are a subset of those occurring when the second color is black.{{url ref\|url=https://www.thoughtco.com/impossible-colors-introduction-4152091\|text=Impossible Colors and How to See Them\|site=https://www.thoughtco.com/}} * The [[black sphere]] given to [[Eshonai]] by [[Gavilar]] may contain Voidlight.{{book ref\|sa3\|prologue}}{{wob ref\|10582}} == Notes == <references /> {{~~complete~~partial}} {{Stormlight}}
