Spren of dead shardblades manifest as spren "where the eyes had been scraped off"{{book ref|sa3|89}} in Shadesmar, named "[[Deadeye]]s" by other spren.{{book ref|sa3|101}} Deadeye spren will wander to the location that corresponds with the location in the Physical Realm of their corpse, or the person bonded to it unless prevented from doing so. If the person it is bonded to is themself in Shadesmar the spren will follow them around within Shadesmar.
 
Dead Shardblades may be returned to their previous function if their previous Radiant recommits themselves to their abandoned oaths.{{book ref|sa2|86}} Their spren can be reawoken and the dead Shardblade returns to its previous functionality. However, once their original Radiant has died, there is no known way to bond with the dead spren, heal their mind, and repair the Blade. It is possible for someone speaking the oaths of the Radiants to heal the spren within the Blade, but it would be very difficult.{{wob ref|7095}} The spren has had some portion of their consciousness torn away when the Nahel bond was broken and this chunk would have to be replaced to fix the Blade.{{qawob ref|1107|3|So you would basically have to replace the part that was lost to wake them up?|date=8 March 20146053}} [[Adolin Kholin]] may be on the pathway to repairing his Blade in some way, potentially due to his close relationship with his Blade.{{book ref|sa3|120}} He is able to determine the spren's name, [[Mayalaran]], summon it earlier than normal, and even sense impressions from the Blade.
