{{quote|You cannot tempt the hearts of men who are pure, Nightblood.|[[Vasher]]{{book ref|wb|21}}}}
A "good" person, someone who wouldn't want to use Nightblood for evil purposes, feels sick while looking at Nightblood and touching it can induce vomiting. This sensation of nausea is suppressed if the user has drawn Nightblood and had his or her breath drained. 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}}
 
 
Once drawn, Nightblood becomes incredibly powerful. Its voice becomes overpowering. Lifeless that it touches disappear in a puff of smoke and stone also disappears when struck. It is unknown what happens to a Living creature that is struck by Nightblood. So long as Nightblood is unsheathed, it drains the Breath from its wielder, drawing Breath faster the longer it is all gone. If held until all avalable [[Investiture]](i.e. Breath) is consumed Nightblood will feed on the spark of life killing the wielder.{{qa ref|1086|16}} This will also happen to non-Returned that wielding Nightblood.{{qa ref|979|69}}
 
Nightblood seemingly drew the color from a person who tried to wield it but was disarmed by Vasher before the sword could kill.
