'''Sentient Awakened Entities in an Inorganic Host''': OnlyThe only known entity of this kind is [[Nightblood]]. [[Nightblood]] is a sentient sword made using 1000 breaths and the command to destroy evil. It makes a bond with anyone with whom it wishes to communicate, and it is able to read and speak with minds directly. {{qa ref|1037|8}} Distance appears to be a factor, but this may be a limitation of the mind of [[Nightblood]] and not its ability. [[Nightblood]], while idle, reaches out to other people either repulsing them with great nausea, even inducing vomiting if they attempt to draw the blade, or creating a desire to use the blade. Anyone who is able to wield [[Nightblood]] and survive, bonds with the blade to a greater degree and is no longer repelled by or abnormally drawn to use it.{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=45}} Those unable to control [[Nightblood]] are controlled by it, in effect [[Nightblood]] wields them killing everyone around and absorbing all of the [[Investiture]] from the victim including the spark of life (i.e. the soul). This bond may grant additional powers on Roshar.{{qa ref|1076|34}}
