===Metal and stone===
'''Type IV BioChromatic entities''' are sentient objects made by Awakening inorganic materials like metal and stone. This requires at least the [[Heightening#Ninth_Heightening|Ninth Heightening]].{{book ref|wb|51}} Breath can still be stored in metal without the Ninth Heightening, but cannot be Awakened.{{wob ref|10408}} [[Nightblood]], a sentient Awakened sword, is the only known object of this type. HeIt was created by [[Shashara]] with the help of her husband [[Talaxin]], using a thousand Breaths and the Command "Destroy evil".{{book ref|wb|51}}
 
Nightblood is incapable of determining morality{{wob ref|3023}} and has a rigid way of thinking similar to a [[Spren]] on Roshar.{{wob ref|7257}} The large number of Breaths heit contains also grants himit incredible destructive power. The threat of more weapons like Nightblood being created eventually caused Talaxin to kill Shashara to prevent the knowledge of this form of Awakening from becoming public.{{wob ref|6954}}
 
The [[Sorceress]] keeps an army of animated metal soldiers that she has Awakened through unknown means.{{book ref|tress|63}} They are semi-self-aware and rely on their initial programming, but they can follow orders after being Awakened.{{book ref|tress|64}}
 
Stone is presumed to be similarly difficult to Awaken. However, Lifeless can be made by enclosing bones in stone, making near indestructible warriors. [[Talaxin]] used this technique to create the legendary [[Kalad's Phantoms]].{{book ref|wb|58}} Dead bodies [[Soulcast]] into stone are also easier to Awaken due to them once being alive.{{wob ref|2781}}
