3 Weltall Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 The Spiritual. Here's a collection of WoB's where Brandon talks about how Shardblades damage living matter by directly cutting the soul. Once something is dead, it can be cut by a Shardblade in the Physical Realm as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Yata he/him Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Like Weltall said the Shardblade cuts the Spiritual and the Physical with the Spiritual as primary target. Probably the difference between living and not targets is all in the amount of Soul's Investiture. A living being's soul is really greater and more Invested so the Blade can't cut both the Soul and the Physical at the same time. For unanimate target the Blade's cut is enough to destroy the soul and also affect the physical 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 S4S he/him Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Same way Shallan had to cut a vine twice before she could use it to help Kaladin. Once to cut the soul, then the vine itself. Your humble servant... Shadows4Silence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
