Simplest explanation is he just cant afford this thing. Aluminum is very rare on every shardworld, except current Scadrial.

And maybe that explains why no further parts of the floor or wall got "puffed away" and he just rested quietly, if unsheathed, in the corner. I would think that would be Nightblood converting matter into investiture. 1

But was Nightblood also getting more powerful as a result, or is Nightblood's strength simply a matter of all the Investiture already sucked into it? I guess that's kind of the same thing, in the end. So the Shards are kind of wary of Nightblood, and he has more investiture than when he was created (nvm, that's a RAFO. But I subscribe to that theory)so, I'm thinking that NB grows more powerful. Quote Questioner It seems like [Nightblood] takes Breaths at kind of an exponential rate. So, if you were trying to draw Nightblood in a perpendicularity, would it collapse at some point? Brandon Sanderson That is RAFO... that is a RAFO, but yes, it's a good question to be asking. Footnote: Brandon has said before that Nightblood would be able to collapse a perpendicularity. Tel Aviv Signing (Oct. 18, 2019) I feel like this is what you were mentioning, and I think that it somewhat supports my theory too. 14 hours ago, Frustration said: On 6/20/2020 at 11:13 AM, robardin said: Well NB still poofed a section of the floor when cast aside, unless that was a residual effect from having recently been held (he was thrown by hand, after all).

So this does bode well for the question about dropping NB blade down onto a planet
Aspiring Writer Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 Um, can't TLR just put the blade back in the sheath wherever it got close to consuming him? Doesn't that reset the amount of Investiture Nightblood needs?

But, the blade has to eventually reset how much investiture it consumes, otherwise, it would become impossible to wield, so... how does it work?
overlord stick Posted November 16, 2020 Posted November 16, 2020 That, I am unsure of. Heck, for all we know it might not ever reset. That's what I think, at least.
