At some point after creating the Diagram, King [[Taravangian]] of [[Kharbranth]] formed and managed a project to have some Diagram members attempt to bond a spren.{{book ref|sa3|107}} Malata was supposedly part of this project, although she claims to have approached Taravangian only because of a suggestion by her spren, Spark, implying that she was already bonded prior to joining Taravangian's team.{{book ref|sa3|27}}
 
She was part of Taravangian's contingent in [[Dalinar#Uniting_Roshar|Dalinar's coalition]]. Through [[Navani]]'s guidance, Malata was able to use Spark to unlock and activate the Veden Oathgate, transporting herself and the rest of the contingent to [[Urithiru]], the base of operations for the coalition.{{book ref|sa3|24}}
 
Having access to a Radiant Shardblade, Malata was often given the responsibility of opening [[Oathgate]]s for members of Dalinar'sthe coalition. Malata accepted this role obediently, although she once expressed distrust against the Alethi and was apparently skeptical of the claims regarding the [[Desolation]].{{book ref|sa3|27}}
 
The Diagram later decided that Taravangian must replace Dalinar as leader of the coalition, and had Malata spy on the Blackthorn using Spark.{{book ref|sa3|i|5}} Through this they learned about Dalinar's visions where he talked to [[Odium]]. They used the information about these visions, along with other secrets they discovered, to undermine the coalition's trust in Dalinar.{{book ref|sa3|111}}
 
Later on, while the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]] was taking place, Malata opened Jah Keved'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 stole [[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|107}}
