I'll throw this out there. There's no guarantee that the Raysium weapons aren't an alloy and every reason for Raboniel to underplay the complexity in creating such a weapon. That could explain why it could channel anti-Voidlight without reacting itself. If anti-Light is finicky enough to need a pure Investiture to react to the pure anti-tone, that might make a difference. 

Interesting idea. Don't think we know enough to say for certain either way, could be.

We'll probably see this in the next book, but we've only seen anti-Stormlight kill an Honorspren. Do we think it would work on all spren, or just Honorspren? Would Cultivationspren be exempt or just Wyndle since he seems to be the only spren powered by Lifelight?

I don't see why it wouldn't work on all Radiant spren, since they're all of both Shards (interesting related side note is that Navani was able to attract an Enlightened spren with a tuning fork, though we don't know which). May or may not work on non-Radiant spren, though, depending on their specific makeup.

Slight correction, Lift's radiant abilities are powered by Stormlight. Her "gifts" from Cultivation predate her bond to cultivation. I think that anti-Stormlight only killing certain types of spren would undermine the philosophical arguments between the Honorspren and Highspren about which type is "closer to Honor", since I would think it requires different types of spren to have different degrees of composition of Honor and Cultivation's lights, giving an objective metric that could be used to answer the question.

However, if some spren were effected more than others, I think that most spren require the part of them that is of Honor to function, and any who survive wouldn't function properly.
