'''Stormlight''' is a form of [[Investiture]] brought by the [[Highstorm]]s of [[Roshar]].
 
== Appearance and Properties ==
Gemstones left outside during a highstorm become infused with Stormlight.{{book ref|sa1|11}} The Stormlight can then be used to fuel the operation of [[fabrial]]s or [[Surgebinder|Surgebinding]] abilities. When Stormlight is not encased within a gemstone, such as when held by a Surgebinder or leaking from damaged [[Shardplate]], it appears as a luminescent white vapor. It also increases the speed at which plants grow, hinting at a possible link to Cultivation.{{book ref|sa2|i|4}}
 
[[Nightblood]], the sentient sword from [[Nalthis]], the location of the novel [[Warbreaker]], is powered through the use of [[Breath]]. Brandon has hinted that Nightblood can also be harnessed through the use of Stormlight, leading us to assume that Breath and Stormlight are similar, if not exactly the same.
 
== Uses ==
Stormlight can be used to fuel the operation of [[fabrial]]s or [[Surgebinder|Surgebinding]] abilities.{{expand}}
 
Stormlight is used as a currency in Roshar's [[Cognitive Realm]], with moneychangers in [[Celebrant]] storing it in perfect gemstones which never go dun.{{book ref|sa3|97}}{{book ref|sa3|99}} A device is used to transfer stormlight from smaller gemstones into the perfect gemstones, and in exchange one receives credit which can be spent in the city.{{book ref|sa3|99}}
