Stormlight

Stormlight is a vibration and radiant energy given off by highstorms that can be stored in gemstones and then later used by Surgebinders. Stormlight is a source of light and power and is used to power the Fabrial technology of Roshar. Gemstones are much better at holding Stormlight than other objects because the light can remain within them for weeks. Usually, those gemstones kept in Spheres, can be infused with Stormlight by leaving them outside during a highstorm. Stormlight leaks quickly when held by a Surgebinder or infused into an object other than a gemstone, though persons can slow the leakage by holding their breath (which they can do for an extended time while holding the light).
