{{quote
As a Returned, Vasher has a Divine [[Breath]], making him automatically of the Fifth [[Heightening]].{{book ref|wb|32}} However, over the years he has learned to give away all of his Breath except for the one Divine Breath that keeps him alive. As long as he has that one Breath (which he’s learned to suppress and hide), he can stay alive.{{wob ref|7478}}
 
On Roshar, he uses [[Stormlight]] to keep himself alive. Though he cannot use it to [[Awakening|Awaken]],{{wob ref|10380}} he can still sense people.{{book ref|sa2|i|6}} He can draw [[Investiture]] from [[highstorm]]s,{{wob ref|5167}} but doesn't have access to [[Surgebinding]].{{wob ref|5727}} The method he uses involves the gap in his [[Spiritwebspiritweb]] left by his [[Divine Breath]].{{wob ref|2912}}

Vasher and Shashara create [[Nightblood]] during the days when they are in love{{wob ref|6954}} based on the [[Shardblade]]s they have seen on [[Roshar]].{{wob ref|5107}} He changesrenames histhe namesword to Nightblood after using him to kill his wife. Vasher has something of a blind spot and some bias regarding Nightblood and makes assumptions he wouldn't make for others.{{wob ref|7373}}
 
HeVasher doesn’tdoes not usually drawunsheathe Nightblood; all Vasher has to do is throw him and let him do what he does. To Vasher, if someone can be controlled by Nightblood, then they must be guilty.{{wob ref|6963}} Nightblood has less of an effect on Vasher.{{wob ref|13049}}
 
Nightblood can sense where Vasher is. This is because Nightblood has ingested and fed on Vasher’s Breaths in the past, which is also why he does not become sick when touching it.{{wob ref|7404}} In Roshar, it is implied he still talks to Nightblood expecting an answer, though there hasn’t been an answer in years.{{book ref|sa2|i|6}}
* Vasher originated in ''[[The Way of Kings Prime]]''{{wob ref|7157}} and ''[[Warbreaker]]'' was created as a prequel for his appearance there.{{wob ref|1328}}
* Vasher has not accomplished what he has Returned to do, nor has he had any real opportunity to.{{wob ref|14425}}
* If he was alone with [[Wayne]] and [[Lopen]], it's likely that he'd end up punching Lopen first, since Wayne is capable of reading the room.{{wob ref|15833}}
