I don't think I heard it somewhere. But as we still don't know where and who are all the 16 shards, is it possible the the Dawnshards hold Shards of Adonalsium in some way? I mean it would be very useful to hold the power of a Shard without the consequences of losing yourself to the Shard's nature. And the Dawnshard are said to be tools the could destroy world, I can't imagine anything so powerful than Shards themselves. Just a thought I had and I wanted to hear what you thought about it or if you have any ideas that could hold better than mine.

I did not know all those facts thanks for clearing that up. Another thing I thought about after listening to the podcast "The visit to the Valley" was what if Vasher and Shashara created Nightblood using Cultivation's Perpendicularity or in some way using her magic and that is why she suggests Nightblood to Dalinar. She has some sort of control over him because he was created by her magic.

Hey everyone! I'm new to the forums (not new the Sanderson's works and the podcast). I have been listening to some of the Shardcast podcasts and all of the discussions about Nightblood gave me an idea. I don't know if anyone had brought it up or not but I'll write me thoughts on the subject. What if Vasher and Shahara went to Roshar after the Recreance, and saw the Shardblades there and wanted to create a more powerful tool that will be a better fit to their world. They came right after the Recreance happened and there was still talk about the fact that Shardblades used to be spren. They took one of the Shardblades with them to their world and Awakened it. Now what I'm thinking is that when they tried to Awake the Shardblade it had the effect of almost reviving the dead spren of the Shardblade. They already used a Shardblade which is Invested to some degree and use Awakening on it which added additional Investiture to the mix. And that created the "corruption" of the Shardblade and made it one of the most Invested objects in the Cosmere. Because we don't really know how Invested are Shardblades but I'd say a lot! It can shear through someone's soul. Add a certain amount or a 1000 breathes of the Returned and you an amazing amount of Investiture.
