=== Pattern ===
[[Pattern]], a [[Cryptic]], is Shallan's steadfast companion
Shallan initially expressed anger and even disgust towards the Shardblade, as she then believed it to be the same one as the Shardblade she used to kill her mother, made of the Cryptic [[Testament]]. After reflecting on the situation, and using the Blade multiple times to save her and others' lives, Shallan slowly dropped all hostility towards the Shardblade. Despite Shallan's reassurance that she bears no ill will towards Pattern, the spren is adamant about his belief that Shallan wants to kill him. He justifies this as an act of revenge born from Shallan's belief that he was the Shardblade used to kill her mother, though in actuality this was likely due to her deadeyeing her previous bonded Cryptic, Testament.
Since then, Pattern helps Shallan confront the lies she tells herself, helping her grow as a person and as a [[Knight Radiant]]. He regularly advises her, answers her questions, and helps her with espionage by allowing Illusions to be attached to him and be maneuvered elsewhere.

=== Testament ===
[[Shallan]] knew this spren when she was younger, yet had not given her the name of Testament. Instead, she called her Pattern. It wasn't until her second journey into Shadesmar that she remembered that her current spren, Pattern, is not the Cryptic from her childhood. She then recovers this spren from her youth, and names her Testament. Testament is the spren whose Shardblade Shallan used to kill her mother. After killing her mother, Shallan unbonded Testament, making Testament a deadeye.{{book ref|sa4|115}}
