=== Immortality ===▼
Shalash is a [[Cognitive Shadow]] capable of returning to life, though the exact mechanics of how are unclear. Following every death, she travels to [[Braize]]; whenever she or another Herald give in, she returns to life on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa3|38}} While alive, she's ageless, and will likely live forever unless killed.{{book ref|sa3|117}} She also appears to have no need of sleep; at the very least, it seems she cannot easily lose consciousness.{{book ref|sa3|121}}▼
=== Surgebinding ===▼
As part of the [[Oathpact]], she was given one of the [[Honorblade]]s, granting her access to [[Surgebinding]]. Her Blade allowed her to use the [[Surge]]s of Illumination, or creating illusions, and Transformation, or [[Soulcasting]]. However, she has left her Blade behind at the [[Aharietiam]], and hasn't recovered it since.{{book ref|sa1|part=prelude}}{{book ref|sa1|i|7}}▼

Considering her well-known attributes, it's likely Shalash was once an artist of some sort, or at least artistically inclined.{{book ref|sa1|part=ars}} Her hearing is noted as exceptionally good.{{book ref|sa1|i|7}} She's also fairly capable of spying and infiltration, as she has no problems mixing herself into a new city or finding her way into a military camp.{{book ref|sa3|i|8}}{{book ref|sa3|117}} Though her obsession with depictions of herself is compulsive, she is very covert about it, breaking into houses and leaving without any trace of her presence other than missing or destroyed art.{{book ref|sa1|i|7}}{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}▼

During the battle, Taln was next to catatonic, requiring Ash to pull him along until [[Dalinar]] managed to open [[Honor's Perpendicularity]], whereupon the two Heralds managed to have a short conversation.{{book ref|sa3|119}} After the battle, with Taln once more uncommunicative, Ash decided to take him to [[Ishar]]. This was, however, not to be, as at the same time, [[Vyre]] managed to kill [[Jezrien]], sending her into deep shock. The resulting commotion made [[Jasnah]], watching the line to the [[Oathgates]], notice them and come to confront them, but Shalash fell unconscious before the two could talk.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
