The '''Order of Lightweavers''' is an order of the [[Knights Radiant]] on Roshar.{{epigraph ref|sa2|49}}▼
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

|[[Malchin]] was stymied, for though he was inferior to none in the arts of war, he was not suitable for the Lightweavers; he wished for his oaths to be elementary and straightforward, and yet their spren were liberal, as to our comprehension, in definitions pertaining to this matter; the process included speaking truths as an approach to a threshold of self-awareness that Malchin could never attain.

The Ideals of the Knights Radiant, also known as the [[Immortal Words]], are a set of rules by which the Radiants live. The First Ideal is shared by all of the orders, and is used as a motto for the Knights Radiant as a whole. Each of the orders then

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}}

▲Due to a combination of their two surges, Lightweavers have new, secondary effects, know as a [[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. This ability is affected by the presence of the [[Unmade]].{{cite}} 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 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}} It is also implied that they may able to to create a solid illusion by combining their Illumination surge and their Soulcasting.{{book ref|sa3|120}}{{wob ref|3625}}

Lightweavers can be introspective, outgoing, or anything in between, but they are generally free-spirited. Most were interested in the arts, and the order included many artists, writers, musicians, and performers.{{epigraph ref|sa2|49}}{{wob ref|13777}} They had a keen appreciation for the value of beauty and entertainment, and felt that it was not enough if Roshar made it through the [[Desolation]]s but lost such things.{{wob ref|13777}} Perhaps as an outgrowth of that belief, the Lightweavers seem to have taken some responsibility for maintaining
