littlemag126 he/him Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 So from what I understand, shard blades are blades formed from the power of a shard, examples being spren. For example, Syl is a piece of the Honor shard, and can form into a blade, thus the blade is essentially made from a shard. Honorblades were the original tool given to the heralds to allow them to use certain powers associated with the honor and cultivation shards. Now, this is a little silly and wouldn't fit well into the stories, but its WoB that Harmony is having issues doing anything because of the nature of his two shards. I want to see him make some preservation shard bearers and send them around to be his "hands" in the world. Like imagine an Honorblade that gives the powers of allomancy, a Preservation-blade. I think it would be pretty boss. None of this would necessarily fit well into the cosmere narrative but i think the idea of the Honorblades would mix well with some of the other magics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlemag126 he/him Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yes, but i dont want a bead that you eat, i want a freaking awesome sword thing. It seems to me that there would be many ways for a shard to "give" its power to people. I simply want harmony to mimic honor because swords are more interesting that beads.

Moogle Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Seons can become Shardblades if you can find a way to bring them into the Physical more tightly, so just ask Harmony nicely to make a few Splinters and you too can have your own Ruinblade.

Lord Pifferdoo he/him Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 If Preservation were to be splintered and it's Splinters to turn into blades, it would make more sense for it to be shardknives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that is what he is doing with the extra essence of Ruin he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
