Navani, descending into feverish and obsessive research, was able to create a tone that repelled Voidlight using the bow and plate system. Although she tried to hide her breakthrough from Raboniel, the Regals could hear a difference in the tones and Raboniel came to investigate Navani's progress. Finding the new plate, Raboniel played it, realized what Navani had done, and convinced her to engage in collaboration again. Using a Thaylen vacuum tube and Navani's anti-Voidlight plate, they successfully created anti-Voidlight. When Raboniel touched the gemstone, she described it as a painful noise, but she was elated by the discovery, and as Navani left the room, Raboniel immediately tried to combine Voidlight and anti-Voidlight, which created an explosion in which she and her attendant were both injured, but survived. She then ordered Navani to fill another gemstone with anti-Voidlight, put the gem into a second raysium dagger, and altered the dagger so the anti-Voidlight would flow out of the blade. Using this blade, she stabbed her daughter in the chest, killing her. It was a painful death, and Raboniel expressed deep and genuine sorrow, cradling Essu's body and crying. She also revealed the true purpose of her experiments to Navani, which was not to find a way to kill Odium but instead to create a method of permanently killing spren. She gathered Navani's notebook and materials and used her work as a guide to create anti-Stormlight.{{book ref|sa4|97}} Unbeknownst to Raboniel, Navani picked up the dagger, which still had a small anti-Voidlight charge.

 

Essu is Raboniel's daughter, gone mad from the stresses of being a Fused. Raboniel loves her deeply. Essu tends to follow her mother around and sometimes mimics her actions.{{book ref|sa4|97}} Watching Essu's descent into madness over time was a very painful experience for Raboniel, and her first action with the anti-Voidlight is to kill her daughter as a mercy, and she truly grieves her daughter's death.{{wob ref|14628}}

 

=== Navani ===

Raboniel is impressed with the scholarly work that Navani has done, and she requests that Navani help her in developing [[Warlight]]. Originally, Navani resists and stalls, but Raboniel sees through her efforts. Venli remarks that Raboniel seems to enjoy the challenge of manipulating Navani.{{book ref|sa4|67}} With both their efforts, they manage to develop not only [[Warlight]], but also [[Anti-Stormlight]] and [[Anti-Voidlight]]. Raboniel is appreciative of Navani's scholarship and compliments her often and genuinely, although Navani usually deflects the praise.
