m (→‎Characteristics: Even. The radiant said EVEN this fighting changes a person. There's an implication that all fighting, even fighting monsters, is bad for you.)
(Added a connection between how interaction with the Ten Deaths and the mists of Scadrial snapping people is similar in "changing people".)
 
==Characteristics==
The nature of the Ten Deaths (except the Midnight Essence) is unknown. They likely have magical qualities, since the Radiants believed that fighting the Deaths could change someone and eventually destroy them.{{book ref|sa1|19}} This is somewhat similar to how a person might [[snapping|snap]] on [[Scadrial]] when exposed to the mists of [[Preservation]].{{book ref|mb3|21}} However, it is possible this was just a Radiant philosophy about fighting in general. The number ten is highly significant in Rosharan culture (e.g. the ten [[Herald]]s, the [[Ten Essences]], and the [[ten fools]]), but how this relates to the Ten Deaths is unknown. The term does not directly correspond to the [[Unmade]], as there are only nine of them.{{wob ref|9580}}
