The Coppermind has spoilers for all of Brandon's published works, now including The Sunlit Man. Information about books that have not yet been released, like Stormlight 5, is allowed only on meta-pages for the books themselves. For more details, see our spoiler policy.

Silver is a significant substance in the Forests of Hell as it is known to repel spirits.[1] Shades that touch it are thrown backward, though the touch of the Shades ruin it.[1]

Silver can also heal the effects of a Shade attack. Silver dust is applied to areas of the body that are affected, reversing the necrotic effects of the Shade's touch.

Around the Cosmere

Scadrial

Silver is Allomantically inert.[2] It may have interesting properties, but on Scadrial they are largely undiscovered.[3]

Trivia

Brandon originally envisaged the Allomantic powers of tin as silver, falsely assuming that pewter had a high quantity of silver.[4] He also considered using it instead of aluminum when Vin is captured in Kredik Shaw, but decided it was too abundant.[2] After changing it, he was concerned that Vin's earring might be confusing, so it became 'silver coated'.[5]
