Quantus Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Every variation of that question has received an RAFO, so we just dont know yet. We do know that he could suck in and Destroy the City of Elantris, but he cannot actually Empty the Dor. Key difference and limitation being that he requires Kinetic Investiture to do his thing. So to compare the Highstorm to Elantris, I suspect the Stormfather would be in danger but once Nightboold ate him the Connection to the perpendicularity would be gone and there would no longer be a conduit to the SR and no more sustained stormlight for him to eat (even if a weather pattern remained). Quote Just another guyn If an Elantrian were to get a hold of Nightblood and draw it, how would Nightblood react to that-- What kind of power would be unleashed? Brandon Sanderson So Nightblood needs kinetic Investiture to feed upon. The Elantrian would have to be able to get a conduit to the Dor to feed Nightblood or Nightblood would just eat their soul. Just another guyn So if they used AonDor to fuel Nightblood-- Brandon Sanderson There are some types of AonDor that would work, and there are others that would not. Just another guyn And would Nightblood just keep going until either the Aon was-- Brandon Sanderson He would dissolve the Aon as he drew the power from it. Just another guyn So it wouldn't just empty the Dor? Brandon Sanderson No, it would not empty the Dor. BYU Writing Class Wrap-up 2017 (April 25, 2017) Quote Questioner So you said that different Investitures from different worlds can fuel different Investitures, right? Would that mean that you could potentially use Stormlight for Allomancy and/or Feruchemy? Brandon Sanderson Yes, a little harder with the Metallic Arts than, for instance, Nightblood is the easiest example. He can just feed on whatever Investiture is around. Questioner Could he feed on the Dor from... Brandon Sanderson He could totally feed on the Dor. Questioner Would you need to have a special sheath to do that or? Brandon Sanderson No, what you would have to do for him on Elantris is you would have to open some conduit to the Dor that's persistent, like a light or something, and he will suck through that, he would probably end up sucking the whole aon. Questioner City of Elantris itself? Brandon Sanderson City of Elantris itself would work, yeah, but you're gonna be in trouble if he sucks up the whole thing and destroys it, which is totally possible.

Honorless Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 We see Nightblood unsheathed in Honor's Perpendicularity in the battle of Thaylen City when Dalinar does his Unity thing. Nightblood got satiated and drowsy. That is what the Highstorm is, a Perpendicularity. Nightblood wouldn't be able to drain it. The Stormfather has more raw Investiture in him than Nightblood Quote Questioner You've previously said that Nightblood is the most powerful non-Shardic being in the Cosmere. Is he more powerful than the Unmade or Stormfather in terms of raw Investiture? Brandon Sanderson Raw Investiture? Here's the thing, when you say powerful, it can mean lots of different things. More raw Investiture than the Stormfather... probably not. Than the Unmade, probably. I would have to look, I don't have the numbers on this. But the Stormfather is very restricted in what he can do. Orem Signing (March 16, 2019) Nightblood is still incredibly dangerous: including and upto for Shard Vessels Quote Questioner If it's possible for Nightblood to actually interact with a Shard, what would happen? Brandon Sanderson A Shard would try to stay very far away from Nightblood. Nightblood could not plausibly destroy an entire Shard but the Vessel could be in danger. Starsight Release Party (Nov. 26, 2019) Quote Questioner If a [Vessel] were to hold Nightblood, who would give up first? Brandon Sanderson RAFO. Skyward Chicago signing (Nov. 16, 2018) Quote Mason Wheeler You said that every rational being in the Cosmere who knows about Nightblood is terrified of him. Does that include Vessels? Brandon Sanderson There are Vessels who are scared, yes. That does include Vessels. Terrified might be a strong term, but yes.
