Hoid and Nightblood

[Zelly]

So Hoid:

Quote

A Budgie (paraphrased)

So, Hoid can't physically hurt someone, but does this ban extend to mental harm and harm through inaction?

Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)

No. Hoid can mentally hurt someone, or allow them to be hurt, but when considering physical trauma he gets nauseous, to the point he can be incapacitated

Which struck me as curiously similar to when good person facing Nightblood feels overwhelming nausea, to the point of shaking and vomiting.

I can't really make any why/how hypothesis from this, other than wondering if there is a connection.

 

Scenario 1: person's intentions (good) cause them to sicken when presented with a tool of violence (Nightblood)

Scenario 2: Hoid's intentions (violent) cause him to sicken 

Could............this mean Hoid's inability to cause physical harm is a result of him being a good person?  

[i’m in the details]

Seems like a tenuous connection to me. That said we have long known Magic’s in the cosmere to cause similar effects across systems, so maybe it’s the same with this nausea effect!

[Storyspren]

I'm with you Zellyia. There should be something significant to that regarding the underlying mechanics and/or the nature of Hoid. It's like the red eyes occurring when something of shard X coopts something of shard Y. The nausea has to be something like that.

Hoid is (now) a "robot spren" like Nightblood, maybe... Or it's a sign that Nightblood could be made using the spren of a being like Hoid, or something?

[Calderis he/him]

Well, Hoid gets sick if he imagines causing physical harm. 

People exposed to Nightblood, on the other hand, are driven to bloodlust if they want to do harm. They're made sick if that's not what they want. 

It may have a common realmatic root, but it isn't triggered by the same thing by any means.
