In the Fiction by Brandon Sanderson section, the first Infinity Blade is spelled Infinity Blae

Hey homie, I think this pretty much got answered at a recent signing!
SpoilerThis is the link and what it says below:
Questioner
A friend of mine wanted me to ask: Was the cataclysm that <rocked> Ashyn and forced its inhabitants into the flying cities Investiture-based, and if it was was it Shardic in nature?
Brandon Sanderson
The same cataclysm that the-- did you finish [Oathbringer]?
Questioner
Yes.
Brandon Sanderson
The same cataclysm that they were fleeing, that they caused, is the one that forced people into the skies.

Oathbringer spoilers
SpoilerI want to know about this one too, and I think the answer might definitely be yes! From Coppermind on Ashyn:
QuoteAshyn is mostly barren, with a few fertile patches. While there are humans inhabiting this planet, a global cataclysm at some point in the past has forced most of its inhabitants to live in floating cities in the sky.
I think the "global cataclysm" might be referring to whatever the humans there did to destroy the planet and make them want to leave.

Here's a theory as to why Nightblood is so invested/messed up maybe. We've got WoB stating that shardblades are actually god metal. (https://wob.coppermind.net/events/35-arcanum-unbounded-hoboken-signing/#e2541). What if Vasher and Shashara knew that and instead of awakening steel, they awakened god metal? Then maybe Azure's blade is just normal awakened steel, and that's part of why they are so different.

I think this WoB might be relevant. Not sure how to cite this properly, but here is the link: https://wob.coppermind.net/events/183-stormlight-three-update-6/#e3911
QuotePhantine
What does Nightblood do if he gets fully drawn and runs out of breath and people to eat?
Does he start vaporizing the ground and start boring a hole to the center of the planet?
Brandon Sanderson
No, he won't. (Good question though.) I'm not sure I want to get into the mechanics of why not, yet. It WAS one of the first things we talked about with Nightblood, though.
Phantine
Not to go into mechanics, then, does Nightblood just 'go to sleep' when his job's done?
That would explain how Vasher is confident he'll be able to get Nightblood back, even if the person he tosses Nightblood to ends up fully drawing the blade.
Brandon Sanderson
He doesn't sleep, but if he draws in enough, he'll start to sound drunk or drowsy (depending on your interpretation.)
So it seems like after enough Investiture, Nightblood gets "full" or something. So there is probably a limit to how much it could consume at once. Like, I'd guess it probably couldn't devour a Shard in one go.

That is correct so the wielder would theoretically need to have as much investiture as the unmade or shard in order to not die as I understand it.
I don't know if I remember this, but if you are wielding Nightblood and using it on someone, will it stop sucking Investiture out of you while it sucks it out of them, or does it do both simultaneously? Or does it even suck Investiture out of targets, but rather only wielders? What does it actually do to things the blade touches?

I believe Nightblood consumes Investiture at a steady, but VERY fast rate when drawn.
I thought that Vasher said Nightblood consumes more Breath the longer it is drawn when he uses it in Warbreaker...

- What was the third powerful black spren with Odium at the end? [Maybe I just missed it in the avalance at the end. I don't think it was the Thrill spren.]
My theory is that that spren was Odium's real champion. Just like how the Fused took the bodies of Amaram and his men, the champion needed a body. So Odium had been preparing Dalinar to be the vessel of his champion. But since Dalinar resisted Odium, we didn't get a chance to actually see it in action, and it just left with Odium. My guess is that if Dalinar would have fallen, the spren would have taken over his body. And Dalinar was seeing that spren when he saw it in a vision in Part I.

I'm actually really excited to see what Nale does in Oathbringer. At the end of Edgedancer, he was like, "Oh I can't be crazy anymore." Will he meet up with Dalinar and help him find the Radiants? After all, he is really good at hunting them down...

In the second epilogue, Hoid mentions a time when he had his memories stolen. I think the only time we've seen that is at the end of RoW when Taravangian messes with his Breath. I think it's likely it's a reference to that and he eventually finds out what happened to him, though it could also be another event that we don't know about.
