Nightblood is sentient but lacks a human context for its intelligence (sapience). Time has no meaning for it, nor can it understand the dynamic aspect of human personalities. It can speak into the minds of people nearby, including [[Vasher]], [[Vivenna]], [[Lift]], and [[Szeth]], and it reads the surface thoughts of its wielder whether they want it to or not, often running into difficulty interpreting them.{{book ref|wb|51}} It is usually cheerful, eager to help, and craves approval, but it is very self-centered and it does not like to be ignored.{{book ref|sa3|90}}{{book ref|wb|51}} It can project images directly into people's minds.{{book ref|wb|55}} Nightblood can more easily influence and better communicate with people who are mentally unhinged.{{wob ref|7385}}
