0 That1Cellist Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 I think that he basically just does whatever his bearers ask him to do and trust their usage of him to be destroying evil. Basically, you draw him, stuff dies, no exceptions, that's it. (As far as we know) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Odiumiumium Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 I don't think Nightblood cares what source of Investiture he draws from. He will destroy what he perceives as evil, but draws upon any kind of Investiture. The user has no bearing on what Nightblood thinks is evil, as his Command was Destroy Evil, and he took that command and did his best to figure out what "evil" is and will destroy anything he thinks is "evil" (his definition of evil is a little strange). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Quantus Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Any source. Several wielders have passed his "Evil Test" and he will certainly still feed on them until they poof and die if drawn. He takes in any Investiture, even just the non-denominational Investiture of basic Existence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does he simply see all Investiture as evil? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightblood 'tests' people and if they register as evil he destroys them by making them fight over him/kill themselves with him. But if they've passed his test and he doesn't see them as evil, and they wield him - he will still eat their Breath / Stormlight / whatever when drawn, that's how he works (he consumes Investiture when drawn). And eventually if they run out of other Investiture he will eat their soul / spark-of-life Investiture, killing them. He also destroys whatever a wielder uses him against, so I think he accepts his wielders (once they pass the test) definition of evil to some degree. Or perhaps that's just his super Shardblade nature- whatever he hits is destroyed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By "absorbing Investiture" i didn't mean the stuff he takes from his wielder to power himself, but the Investiture he absorbs from anyone he kills (for example Rayse) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
