Interview #1099: Firefight Signing Report - Lady Radagu, Entry #3

Lady Radagu

If Shai were to gain a Shardblade, then she gave it up, could she create an Essence Mark that represented the history where she still had the Blade? If she then applied the Essence Mark could she summon the Shardblade or a copy of it?

Brandon Sanderson

So doing that sort of thing, like rewriting herself even to be an Allomancer, or something like this…. This is possible, but, in order to gain the Investiture she wants to have, she will have to input that much in Investiture, which her current magic system is not capable of doing. Okay? Alright, so, a rewrite so that I have a Shardblade would require some sort of hacking of her magic system, which is currently impossible to her in her current situation.

Lady Radagu

So, if she had had a Shardblade and gave it up, she could not rewrite herself to have that back without more input?

Brandon Sanderson

Um, she could… Yes, exactly. Now rewriting– yes, that would be a lot easier than just rewriting herself so that she had a Shardblade.

Lady Radagu

That’s what I was asking.

Brandon Sanderson

Yeah, but what you’re asking about would be much easier and that probably is within her power, but what that would do is– Yeah, that’s totally within her power. It would create some weird implications where she’s summoning it, and someone else summons it back from her, cause the Shardblade thinks it’s held by two people.

Lady Radagu

So it wouldn’t be a copy, it would be the same Blade.

Brandon Sanderson

Yes. Mmhmm.
