samsocial Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 Why shardplates need stormlight to be functioning? Why are they heavry? Are shardblades and shardplates made of same materials, yes then why plates are they heavry?
Quantus he/him Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 What they are made of is sort of a major plot point. How far have you gotten?
earthexile Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 Shardblades and Shardplate are very much not the same material, and don't work the same way at all. Blades are lighter than normal metal, completely impossible to harm, and can be summoned by the person bound to them, whereas Plate is heavier than the same amount of normal metal, can be shattered even by ordinary weapons and big falls, and you have to spend an hour getting bolted into it. 1

I see, but why then it is named similarly ? is there any similarity ?

Yes, they are both the legacy of the Knights Radiant. All Shardplates and Shardblades (not counting the Honorblades of the Heralds) came from them. Everything else is spoilers. They're meant to be mysteries! Keep reading and you'll find the answers in the books themselves! 1
