Jump to navigation Jump to search
Shardblades are unbreakable, can cut through stone with ease, and cut through a creature's soul rather than its flesh; though once the creature is killed the flesh is cut instead of the soul which has been severed. They are summoned by their holder over the course of ten heartbeats. When the holder (or [[Shardbearer]]) is killed, the Shardblade remains corporeal and may be claimed by another; if the Blade is dropped when the [[Shardbearer]] is still alive, the Shardblade will vanish.
 
When a Shardblade is summoned, (which includes a proses of waiting ten hart beats, which the [[Shardbearer]] can hear no matter how loud his surroundings) it is formed from mist, and is wet from dew. They are usually much longer than than an average blade, with a notable exception being [[Szeth]]'s Shardblade.
 
Possibly related to the [[Dawnblade]]s held by the ten [[Heralds]].
