'''Malata''' is a woman from [[Jah Keved]] and a member of the [[Diagram (group)|Diagram]]. She is also a [[Knight Radiant]] of the [[Order of Dustbringers]], bonded to an [[Ashspren]] named [[Spark]].
Whether or not this matches the attitude of ancient Releasers is currently unknown, although the [[Diagram (literature)|Diagram]] indicates that Dustbringers are the most likely Order of Knights Radiant to accept the Diagram's cause.{{book ref|sa3|i|5}}
== Attributes and Abilities ==▼
As a Releaser, Malata has access to the [[Surge]]s of [[Division]] and [[Abrasion]], although so far she has only demonstrated Division, the Surge of decay. Using Division, she can cause objects to degrade, burn, or turn to dust just by touching them with her bare hand. She has shown enough skill in this that she could quickly make an intricate engraving on wood via controlled burning.{{book ref|sa3|107}}▼
She has also progressed enough in her [[Immortal Words|Oaths]] to turn Spark into a [[Shardblade]]{{book ref|sa3|24}}, which she has been using to control [[Oathgate]]s.▼
== History ==
Later on, while the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]] was taking place, Malata opened Kholinar's [[Oathgate]] upon orders from the Diagram to allow a strike force of Odium's [[singer]] army into Urithiru, where they battled with Alethi soldiers. An agent of the Diagram disguised as a [[Bridge Four]] member was also able to enter Urithiru and steal [[Jezrien]]'s [[Honorblade]] from [[Eth]], killing him and injuring [[Rock]] and [[Bisig]] in the process. All this was part of Taravangian's plan to appeal to Odium so that he would agree to sparing part of humanity on Roshar.{{book ref|sa3|i|14}}{{book ref|sa3|120}}{{book ref|sa3|122}}
