Hey Brandon! If you're still answering these...what would happen if a Surgebinder absorbed Voidlight? (Or whatever's powering the Everstorm)
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO. (Sorry.)
Argent
Is Voidlight a good name for it? We've been playing with the words "void" and "odium", stitching them together into Voidlight, Voids (as opposed to Surges), Voidspren, Odiumspren, etc. Are any of those accurate?
Brandon Sanderson
It may not be accurate, but it is a valid conjecture. Afraid I won't say more right now.
Questioner
(paraphrased)
As far as I can tell, in The Stormlight Archive, we have seen three different lights: the stormlight, the amberlight in the flashbacks, and the dark light in the stone. Do those correspond to the three Shards?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
No, the amberlight is more a function of...it's no different than the stormlight.
Questioner
(paraphrased)
So, you see that in a storm? Like when gems gather that in the storm?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
That amberlight is more related to... so, no... you are not seeing something other than stormlight. That is like saying that stormlight in a topaz is a different color than stormlight in a sapphire. It's not different colors; you're just seeing it filtered through something. The dark light of the, um, the gemstone that Szeth was given is indeed something different and distinct.
Questioner

Voooiidlight?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Yes, it is related to a different shard. How about that?
Shqueeves
Stormlight, when you hold it, gives a sense of immediate urgency or movement. Does Voidlight have a similar emotional impact?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes.
Shqueeves
Is it the same as the urgency, or is it something different?
Brandon Sanderson
Something different.
Shqueeves
What is it?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO. Good question.
Questioner
What is the opposite of Stormlight called?
Brandon Sanderson
Some would argue voidlight is the opposite.
Questioner
Is the reason that the Fused have access to unlimited voidlight is because Odium's alive, and the Radiants have that access that limited access to Stormlight because Honor is dead?
Brandon Sanderson
Not exactly... They do not have access to unlimited voidlight, how about that.
TheFoxQR
"Voidlight" (hasn't been named, I know) has been described as black with some violet to it. Is this because it's actually absorbing light-gold from all light hitting it?
Brandon Sanderson
I do call it Voidlight in the new book, so you can certainly call it that.
I'm more trying to describe the phenomenon of Stygian colors, which is how I imagine Voidlight. But your explanation probably has some plausible science to it as well.
Chaos
At JordanCon, you said that Gavilar's black sphere was something that, "It's what you expect it to be." Does that mean that it's holding an Unmade?
Brandon
Not necessarily. Voidlight can be trapped like Stormlight can. Unmade can be trapped like spren can. Does not mean that the sphere has an Unmade.
