Yolenlightweaver Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 At the end of the first Mistborn book, Vin concocts the idea that if she stabs the Lord Ruler's malatium shadow, he would die. She does this with a dagger a few times and nothing happens. If I remember correctly that is because it reveals something on the spiritual realm level. Do you all think there is or will be a weapon that could effectively do what Vin tried to do? The reason I thought about this is when Kaladin stabs one of the spren bugging Elhokar's son and it disappears. (Granted that situation is cognitive vs. cognitive)
Weltall Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) Kaladin was stabbing a spren with a presence in the Physical Realm, he just happened to have a weapon that could also cut on the Spiritual level which let him kill it. The distinction is, he was targeting the actual thing with that attack while an atium/electrum/gold/malatium shadow is not the actual thing and does not have its own spiritweb that can be attacked.
