0 Calderis Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 I'd guess a flame because he's an arguably sapient being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ChetLee Posted November 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) I as wonder if things from different cognitive realm locations could even show up as a bead or flame. As Nightblood is from Nalthis. Edited November 3, 2018 by ChetLee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Nightblood is from Nalthis. It's a visual representation of a particular thing, as filtered by a particular Cognitive 'region' so Nightblood should show up as a flame if seen in Roshar, as mist on Scadrial etc regardless of where he's actually from, same for anything else.

0 Zelly Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 A black flame, because it's dramatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HeyLookItz Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 A black bead, maybe? What would that look like? A black sphere... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 The Silverlight Scholar Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 My bet would be he would appear as a flame, if viewed through the cognitive realm of Roshar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Quantus Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 On the basis that Brandon has described him as a "Robot Spren" I think Nightblood would operate similarly in that he would, or at least could, have a different form in the Cognitive Realm compared to the Physical realm where he manifests as a Sword. That being said I think he (and potentially Azure's blade if it's also a TypeIV) simply view themselves as the sentient Sword it was born as, and so they still retain that shape in Shadesmar rather than changing to a more anthropomorphic form like Syl or Maya are part of a natural spren race with more direct (or less controlled and filtered) influence from the human/biped population.
