Upon arriving at Urithiru, Raboniel began to corrupt the [[Sibling]] with [[Voidlight]]. This caused her great physical strain, but she managed to activate the tower's defenses as planned.{{book ref|sa4|38}} She ordered her team to only kill people who resisted, and to gather the Radiants, and gave the [[Pursuer]] permission to kill [[Kaladin]]. When [[Ulim]] found Navani, Raboniel directed him to keep her alive, seeing her as a useful resource.
Raboniel met with Navani and laid out her plans for Urithiru - Raboniel would gather the Radiants and allow all other humans to live in the tower, although they were all demoted to darkeyed status. She allowed the humans to continue trade, unlike most of the humans in [[Alethkar]], but not to carry weapons. Navani agreed to these terms when Raboniel said that if she did not agree, the singers would kill all the Radiants and be less accommodating in their rule.{{book ref|sa4|42}} During the occupation, she used fabrials with corrupted spren that were not suppressed by the Sibling.{{book ref|sa4|61}}
She was determined to discover the secret of anti-Voidlight, and directed and aided Navani in achieving this. Under Raboniel, Navani had access to a full lab and her group of ardents and scholars, although she was not given any servants.{{book ref|sa4|46}} At the start of their partnership, Navani told Raboniel about the fabrial mechanics involved in the flying ship, including the use of [[aluminum]] to isolate planes of movement, and Raboniel explained to Navani that some spren manifested as [[Soulcaster]]s.{{book ref|sa4|46}}
Raboniel encountered Kaladin while continuing her corruption of the Sibling - they had a short conversation, but were interrupted by the Pursuer. When he defeated the Pursuer, Raboniel stabbed him to observe his Radiant healing and asked him questions about how his Surges were affected by the tower's corruption.{{book ref|sa4|59}} She also met with [[Mraize]], who presented her with a captured but still awake [[Lift]] in exchange for use of the [[Oathgates]]. Venli approached her after this conversation and asked to have [[Rlain]] released into her care, and Raboniel agreed reluctantly.
When Navani continued to stall instead of agreeing fully to work with her, Raboniel showed her a singer attempting to break the Sibling's shield with Elhokar's Shardblade, seemingly unaware that the blade had belonged to Navani's deceased son. Raboniel then ordered Navani to work on her own from then on and send messages through Raboniel to her scholars. She showed Navani a replica of the crystal pillar shield and explains the mechanics - a type of Soulcasting where the fabrial convinces the air around the pillar that it is glass. She also told Navani about Lifelight and Towerlight, explaining that the latter is why Urithiru is so interesting to her. She wanted to combine Stormlight and Voidlight but was unsure if it would be possible, comparing them to oil and water in their inability to mix. Navani corrected her, showing that with an emulsifier oil and water can be combined, which made Raboniel realize that she should not accept ancient teachings without question. She tasked Navani with experimenting with Towerlight.
Navani and Raboniel co-authored a lab notebook called [[Rhythm of War (in-world)|Rhythm of War]] in which they recorded their experimentation.
=== Navani ===
Raboniel was impressed with the scholarly work that [[Navani]] has done, and she requested that [[Navani]] help her in developing [[Warlight]]. Originally, Navani resisted and stalled, but Raboniel was aware of this. With both their efforts they managed to develop not only [[Warlight]], but also [[Anti-Stormlight]] and [[Anti-Voidlight]]. Raboniel then used Anti-Voidlight to kill her [[Fused]] daughter [[Essu]]. Navani was touched by this, as they were both mothers who have lost children, and Raboniel's grief over her daughter humanized her in Navani's mind.
Later, when Raboniel revealed her plan to use [[Anti-Stormlight]] to kill the Radiants' [[spren]], Navani used a [[fabrial]] trap to stop Raboniel, and then, with what remained of the weapon Raboniel used to kill her daughter, stabbed Raboniel. However, since there wasn't enough [[Anti-Voidlight]] Raboniel was left in a weakened state.{{book ref|sa4|106}}
