Difference between revisions of "Nightblood"

Nightblood is very similar to a [[Shardblade]];{{wob ref|6892}}{{wob ref|5152}} Vasher and Shashara actually made it in imitation of Shardblades, with which they had prior experience.{{wob ref|3586}} However, since they didn't know how Shardblades were originally made and were trying to imitate a magic system different from the one they had access to, they had to do some "hacking" in order to get it to work, resulting in something akin to a Frankenstein's monster{{wob ref|2650}} or "robot spren".{{wob ref|3586}} Nightblood, while ultimately built around the same principles as other Shardblades, is much more powerful than normal, and is, in some ways, broken and opposite from them (ei.ge., in requiring constant input of Investiture to function, emitting black smoke that falls instead of white smoke that rises).{{wob ref|7134}} It is effectively a "third generation" Blade, where Honorblades are "first generation" and spren Blades are "second generation".{{wob ref|3623}}
