Ok, thank you! Do you happen to know what would happen if a person was made into a lifeless the second after they died (if they were invested with enough breath would the false soul be a cognitive shadow of them?)

Ok so I was thinking about how awakening draws color from things, turning them gray, and shardblade wounds also turn things gray. I was also pondering how Nightblood leeches the color from people when they wield it. So I have a few questions on this topic and I am curious to hear what other people think. I have no idea if this is supposed to be a discussion or under questions (as I have multiple questions). A lot of this is probably theories only, and some of it may have already been discussed. First, how is the lack of colour related between the two (Awakening color-loss and Shardblade wounds)? Is it related at all? If a Lifeless is cut by a shardblade is it cut in one swing? Second, if Nightblood bled someone's hand gray could said hand be cut off in one swing from a shardblade? Third, how is colour related to the soul? Color is lost when the soul is disconnected by a shardblade, and why is this color-loss happening? Fourth, can people killed by shardblades be turned into Lifeless? Do shardblades need multiple swings to cut through awakened objects? If something was invested with enough breath (say Vasher's cloak but it is given more breath than necessary to protect him), would it block shardblades?

Thanks! My favorite series out of these has been Stormlight Archive, but my favorite magic systems are the metal magics of Scadrial.

I have read a decent number of Cosmere books, -Mistborn Era 1 -Most of Era 2 (not lost metal yet) -Stormlight (way to rhythm) -Elantris -Mistborn: Secret History and I hope to read all the rest!
