Darth_Obama Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Would it be possible for Vasher or Hoid to Awaken Shardplate? Would it improve it or would it get resisted? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frustration Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Well due to the law that investiture resists investiture awakening Shardplate is all but impossible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cardinal of Death Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 it would require an insane amount of breath probably more than even the god king has so theretically it might be able to do something but in practice nothing is gonna happen and since it is metal it would require at least the 9th heightning anyway which has problems with how many breaths hoid or vasher have with them in this scenario anyway since its already made of a god metal solid investiture with more stomlight flowing threw it and it being metal getting usable breath into it to awaken it isnt going to be generally possible probably eaiser to try and pull something like nightblood but with some form of armor with a command like protect me or something while picturing how shard plate works that might give a interesting result 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Invocation Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Quote Questioner Can you awaken a Shardblade? Brandon Sanderson Can you Awaken a Shardblade? A Shardblade would already be defined as Awakened, by the magic systems. Questioner And what about the Plate? Brandon Sanderson Plate would already be defined as probably too heavily Invested to Awaken because it already is.

Karger Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Not in any meaningful way per the WoB above. You might might might be able to shove some extra investiture into it but if you have that much breath and expertise you have better things you can do with that.

Honorless Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) First of all, nice name, @Darth_Obama Secondly, Hi! Welcome to the Shard! Thirdly, a Shardplate is speculated to be made of solidified Investiture, that's too Invested to be Awakened, Investiture resists other Investiture. Plus, Law of BioChromatic Parallelism means Awakening something that doesn't resemble life in shape/form would be harder to Awaken Edited April 7, 2020 by Dreamer edited for clarity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very human shaped, just... not in the typical sense. But yeah the other points do pretty much mean it wouldn't work, and it's sort of pointless anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footnote: Unspecified question by yulerule.Arcanum Unbounded Hoboken signing (Dec. 3, 2016) FireyWoodedHill Is Shardplate made of the same material as Shardblades? Is there a difference in material between a "dead" Shardblade and a living one? Brandon Sanderson You can generally look at all three as being the same material.
