Szeth acquires [[Nightblood]] from Nale after his death and resurrection.{{book ref|sa2|88}} He does not react with either bloodlust or nausea, perhaps indicating that Nightblood's test of character failed to affect him. He does not know its name, referring to it with the honorific "sword-nimi" instead. Nightblood is sentient and can communicate with Szeth telepathically.

Szeth is warned not to draw Nightblood from its sheath except in case of extreme emergency and only if he carries a great deal of [[Stormlight]], as the sword is extremely dangerous and can feed upon souls.{{book ref|sa3|90}} Occasionally, he will draw it partially to see how other people react to it, as Nightblood causes "good" people to feel sudden nausea.{{book ref|sa2.5|15}}
