|These Lightweavers, by no coincidence, included many who pursued the arts; namely: writers, artists, musicians, painters, sculptors. Considering the order's general temperament, the tales of their strange and varied mnemonic abilities may have been embellished.
The Lightweavers are [[Surgebinder]]s who use the [[Surge]]s of Illumination and Transformation, commonly called [[Surgebinding#Illumination|Lightweaving]] and [[Soulcasting]]. They are associated with the garnet [[polestone]], and form a [[Nahel bond]] with [[Cryptic]]s.
== Philosophy ==
While each order of Radiants contains a variety of personalities within it, those who join the Lightweavers generally subscribe to a philosophy of speaking truths about themselves that they must admit in order to progress as people.{{wob ref|13777}} The order finds it important to be able to separate the real from the lie and use that to move forward. Lightweavers tend to be free spirits, and many among their order see the importance of entertainment, beauty, and art in a person’s life. The order strives to make sure that the world has something to live for. They tend to attract those who are interested in art, intrigue, secrets, and espionage.{{epigraph ref|sa2|49}}{{wob ref|13777}}

The Lightweavers use the Surges of '''Illumination''' and '''Transformation'''. Like most Knights Radiant, the Lightweavers have squires.{{book ref|sa3|77}}
=== Illumination ===
[[Surgebinding#Illumination|'''Illumination''']] is used to craft illusions by weaving light, sound and various waveforms.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} This can be used to change their appearance for disguises or other purposes, create illusions of walls and rocks to hide behind and in, and to create illusions to confuse or distract. Each Lightweaver needs some kind of focus to make Lightweaving function, such as drawings or paintings.{{book ref|sa4|98}} It is also implied that they may be able to create a solid illusion by combining their Illumination surge and their Soulcasting.{{book ref|sa3|120}}{{wob ref|3625}} There are some differences in how they use the Surge compared to [[Order of Truthwatchers|Truthwatchers]].{{book ref|sa4|26}}
=== Transformation ===
[[Surgebinding#Transformation|'''Transformation''']] can be manipulated to change an object into one of the ten essences.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} To [[Soulcast]], the Lightweaver shifts their perception to see into the [[Cognitive Realm]], and communicates with the Cognitive aspect of the object they want to transform.{{book ref|sa4|39}} This is normally done through direct contact with an object, however, can be performed from a distance. Elsecallers are more skilled at doing this, though it is not impossible for a Lightweaver to be able to Soulcast from afar.{{wob ref|13399}} Lightweavers tend to view Soulcasting differently from Elsecallers.{{book ref|sa4|26}} Using this Surge, Lightweavers are able to enter the Cogntive Realm, but are unable to bring others with them, or return on their own.{{book ref|sa4|22}}
=== Resonance ===▼
Lightweavers' [[Shardplate]] is formed of creationspren.{{wob ref|14513}}▼
Due to a combination of their two Surges, Lightweavers have new, secondary effects, known as the [[Resonance]].{{wob ref|3625}} Lightweavers may have multiple Resonances, with a prominent one being mnemonic abilities.{{wob ref|6740}}{{book ref|sa2|49}} This includes the ability to deliberately memorize a scene, after which the Lightweaver can paint or draw that scene with remarkable accuracy.{{book ref|sa2|1}}{{wob ref|915}} The ability to memorize scenes and reproduce them accurately is similar to the ability of a [[Feruchemist]] to store memories in a [[copper]]mind,{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}} in that both talents involve the removal of a memory from the mind and its replacement in another medium -- in the Lightweaver's case, a sketch rather than a coppermind. There is an upper limit to how many memories can be stored at once.{{wob ref|3244}} Members of this order generally do not have these mnemonic abilities before bonding a Cryptic and they are not something that Cryptics are necessarily interested in when searching for a person to bond with.{{wob ref|1296}} Lightweavers can experience light and color differently and may be able to minutely alter the mood of others.{{wob ref|11531
