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=55}}
 
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. Living humans appear to disappear as well,{{book as shown on Roshar,ref|sa3|92}} but other creatures are not confirmed to do so yet. So long as Nightblood is unsheathed, it drains Investiture (Breath, Stormlight, etc.) from its wielder, drawing it faster the longer it is held until it is all gone. If held until all available [[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 wield Nightblood.{{qa ref|979|69}} Nightblood can also feed on other forms of investiture, such as Stormlight.{{qa ref|1100|2|Now that Nightblood is on Roshar, can it feed off of Stormlight the same way it can off of Breaths?|date=Jan 8th, 2015}}.{{book ref|sa3|92}}
 
Nightblood seemingly drew the color from a person who tried to wield it but was disarmed by Vasher before the sword could kill.
