'''Stormlight''' is a form of gaseous [[Investiture]] brought by the [[Highstorm]]s of [[Roshar]]. It is an integral part of Roshar's ecosystem, and it is used to fuel most of the magic systems found on the planet.
== Uses ==
As Stormlight is a form of Investiture, it is used to power the magic systems found on Roshar. The current most common use is to fuel the operation of [[Fabrial]]s where a Stormlight infused Gemstone powers the function of the Fabrial. Stormlight is also used by Shardplates, which are not actually Fabrials but are considered as such in-world.{{cite}} Unlike normal Fabrials, Shardplate consumes Stormlight when it is being repaired or regrown, but then does not require any further Stormlight for it's normal operation.{{cite}} However, if Shardplate is damaged, Stormlight can be seen streaming from the cracks and breaks in the Shardplate.{{cite}}
Stormlight also fuels all [[Surgebinder|Surgebinding]] abilities. The exact method and use of the Stormlight can vary by Surges, and different Surges consume different amounts of Stormlight. Surgebinding requires the Surgebinder to directly hold the Stormlight, but the process of drawing it from a source like a Gemstone and applying it to the Surge can be nearly instantaneous.
In addition to the Surges that are part of Surgebinding, anyone with a Nehal Bond gains a dramatic healing ability fueled by Stormlight. In the process, Stormlight repairs and aligns the body with the spirit, and can even heal damage done by Shardblade.{{cite}} However, this healing process also goes through a filter of how the individual views themselves, which can limit what gets healed in the body.{{wob ref|1009}}{{wob ref|5639}}.
Stormlight also fuels the process of the [[Parshendi]] converting their Form. This conversion requires a specific type of spren, one for each Form type, and significant amounts of Stormlight as can be found in a Highstorm. (Must it be in a high storm?) Once the conversion has taken place, the Parshendi maintains its new Form with all of its abilities, without any further Stormlight consumption.
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}}▼
Because of the luminescent nature of Stormlight when contained in Gemstones, infused Gemstones are commonly used as a light source on Roshar, much more convenient than fire. Most people carry a few gems with them at all times to use for light. As a result, Stormlight itself is a currency on Roshar, with infused Gemstones being more valuable that dun ones.{{cite}} This becomes more so when [[Urithiru]] is occupied and the need for Stormlight increases, especially when the Highstorm cycle is interrupted by the Everstorm and infused Gemstones become more rare.{{cite}}

A Surgebinder that has drawn and used large amounts of Stormlight can be left feeling drained and exhausted.{{book ref|sa3|59}} However, there are no toxic levels of Stormlight.{{wob ref|8627}} Continued use of Stormlight will have permanent effects on the body, the most obvious being eye color from dark to light.{{cite}} While there are extreme cases of changes to the bodies of those that use [[Soulcaster]] Fabrials, for example the Soulcaster [[Kaza]] became disfigured with parts of her body turning to smoke,{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} those changes are caused by the magic systems rather than Stormlight itself.{{wob ref|8627}}
In addition to effects on the bodies of those using Stormlight, it can have a large impact on the flora and fauna of Roshar. Stormlight helps extremely large animals with [[Gemheart]]s to not be crushed under their own weight{{cite}}, allow others to fly{{cite}} and can possibly increase the rate at which plants grow.{{book ref|sa3|i|5}}
