→Mechanics: Adjusted phrasing for summoning Honorblades. Based on linked WoB and that Ishar is the only person seen to instantly summon his own Honorblade while "skipping" the Blade during combat, decided to leave it as ambiguous if summoning time is solely an aspect of perception. Szeth and Moash required 10 heartbeats to summon Jezrien's Blade(SA1 Prologue, SA4 Interlude 4). Moash notes that Adolin was able to summon his Shardblade in less than 10 heartbeats but is still limited.

There are ten Honorblades total, one for each Herald. Every Honorblade is unique, covered in various glyphs and patterns.{{book ref|sa1|part=prelude}} They are technically a type of [[Shardblade]]; they were prototypes of the [[Knight Radiant]] Shardblades, and share many qualities with them.{{wob ref|8499}} Among others, they can be bonded, summoned and dismissed much like a [[Shardblade]] can.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} Like living Shardblades, they can be used to operate [[Oathgate]]s.{{book ref|sa3|16}} Though, unlike living Shardblades, they cannot change shape.{{book ref|sa4|i|4}}
Unlike Shardblades, however, Honorblades are not [[spren]], and are not, nor have ever been, sapient. Rather, they are made of [[Honor]]'s own [[Investiture]], which he deliberately splintered off himself and crystallized into metallic form.{{book ref|sa3|16}}{{wob ref|13996}}
