Interview #1048: WOR Signing Report - IronCaf, Entry #35

Outis

In Shallan, in the beginning and middle of the book it’s 10 heartbeats, and in the end of the book it’s none…?

Brandon Sanderson

The 10 heartbeats is required to revive a dead shardblade

Outis

But he wasn’t dead the whole time.

Brandon Sanderson

He wasn’t. But perception–all magic systems in the Cosmere are based on perception-what you think you can do. For instance, Kaladin can’t get healed because he sees himself as having a wounded forehead with the scars and that can’t vanish because his perception is in the way.
