How does lightweaving work with radiation

[Spearguy]

does anyone know if lightweaving would allow for creations of intense radiation, or is it just visible light?

P.S this is including any known form of lightweaving, so that would include the little we know about yolish lightweaving and unchained lightweaving. 

[SteelBagel]

It's probably theoretically possible they could, especially now that they're unchained, but lightweaving requires Intent and Connection, and they don't have any of that to radiation because they can't sense it or think about it to Connect to it, and they don't know about it to Intend to make it.  Also, gamma radiation and Ionizing radiation has way more energy than visible light, which means it's going to take more investiture to make into energy, which means it's going to take a lot of stormlight. Possibly so much that it's virtually impossible. However, the ROW Ars Arcanum says that lightweaving is "The Surge of Light, Sound and Various Waveforms", so it is at least theoretically possible afawk.

There is this old-ish WoB on the subject
