Lightweaving is a manifestation of Investiture on Yolen that originates prior to the Shattering of Adonalsium.[1] All pure illusion magic is considered Lightweaving.[2]
Abilities and Weaknesses
Lightweaving allows for the creation of optical and auditory illusions.[3] Lightweavers can use this to make disguises,[4] and is able to produce light.[5] It could also make illusions in smoke such as making images of people and ships.[6][7] All illusion magic will work in a similar manner.[2] Illusion magic is capable of creating auditory and visual manifestations either independent of a Lightweaver (i.e. fixed in place) or linked to a host.[3] Both require a steady source of Investiture. These manifestations are linked to a person's mind and are largely a mental creation having no physical mass. They are capable of movement. However this is more complicated than a static image and requires greater mental control to function. The range of an image is limited to its proximity to a source of Investiture. As the Lightweaver moves away from an image it will begin to blur and then dissolve when its connection is broken. Increased focus on the part of a Lightweaver can increase the range but not greatly. Lightweaving would be affected by aphantasia.[8]
Lightweaving does not always seem to function perfectly on Roshar.[9] Their powers on the shardworld can be limited, and they can have trouble making some aspects of the magic work, even after multiple attempts.[9] It is uncertain why this occurs and whether or not this issue is unique to Roshar.
Interactions with Rosharan Lightweaving
Yolish Lightweaving is much less restrictive than the later Rosharan variant,[10] and does not require a spren or Stormlight to function.[1][11] Yolish Lightweaving does not always seem to function perfectly on Roshar,[9] and Yolish Lightweavers may need help from Rosharan Lightweavers to fully craft an illusion.[12] A Yolish Lightweaver may be able to guide a Rosharan Lightweaver's power.[9]
Gaining Rosharan Lightweaving allows for some supplemental ability with Yolish Lightweaving,[13] and could allow Yolish Lightweavers to overcome the issue of crafting illusions on Roshar, although further impacts or resonances between the two are unknown.[14] Yolish Lightweaving has a compounding effect with Rosharan Lightweaving, and likely allows Yolish Lightweavers to circumvent the problems they can experience with Yolish Lightweaving.[13] Access to both Lightweaving Investitures brings the user close to something related to the Dawnshards.[15]
