By contrast, a spren that has been killed after their Radiant acquires a [[Shardblade]] leaves behind a dead Shardblade, and while in Shadesmar, they take the form of a [[deadeye]].{{book ref|sa2|87}}{{book ref|sa3|101}} A deadeye is a zombie-like figure with scratched-out eyes, constantly striving to mindlessly reach the location of its Blade.{{book ref|sa3|101}} Deadeye spren can be at least partially revived.{{book ref|sa4|94}} [[Mayalaran]], [[Adolin]]'s deadeye Shardblade, regains consciousness during Adolin's trial by witness in [[Lasting Integrity]] while under extreme emotional stress.{{book ref|sa4|94}}
Similar to a [[Cognitive Shadow]], a spren can be permanently killed by the use of a [[raysium]] dagger embedded with a gem of anti-Stormlight (though a spren in Shardblade form would be more resilient to this).{{book ref|sa4|104}}{{wob ref|15334}} Through unknown methods, a spren can have their cognitive form pulled into the Physical Realm, where the new body will spontaneously form organs and muscles, but the spren will die within minutes. The [[Stormfather]] calls this act an abomination, and claims that it should not be possible. Cryptics and Ashspren cannot be brought over properly, because the process of creating bodies for them results in a physical form that collapses upon itself immediately. [[Ishar]] speculates that their physiology does not conform to the natural laws of the Physical Realm.{{book ref|sa4|111}} These bodies can be made into [[Lifeless]] and affected by [[Forgery]].{{wob ref|14989}} Spren can also be killed by having their essence used for power by a [[Dawnshard]].{{book ref|tsm|20
Spren can be cut and will feel pain.{{book ref|sa4|35}} They can be "killed" by hurting them enough that their minds break, making them something similar to a deadeye. They can also be cut by a Shardblade, but it won't kill them and they will reform in the Cognitive Realm after some time.{{book ref|sa4|2}} Stormlight will help spren heal faster.{{book ref|sa4|87}}{{book ref|sa4|90}} The only way to keep a spren divided is to store them in separate halves in gemstones.{{book ref|sa4|44}}
