===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. It was created by [[Shashara]] with the help of her husband [[Talaxin]], using a thousand Breaths and the Command "Destroy evil".{{book ref|wb|51}} Talaxin has awakened metal more then once.
 
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 it contains also grants it 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}}
