{{lifeform \|type={{cat tag\|drugs\|Poison}} \|world=Roshar \|universe=[[Cosmere]] '''Backbreaker powder''' is a very strong poison used on [[Roshar]] during the [[Era of Solitude]].{{book ref\|sa1\|50}} == ~~Useage~~Usage == Backbreaker powder is a very lethal tasteless, white powder.{{book ref\|sa1\|50}} There is an antidote for backbreaker powder that is capable of counteracting all the poison's effects. A large amount of backbreaker powder is capable of killing the person that ingests it in mere seconds unless the antidote is taken. == History == In {{Rosharan date\|1173}}, [[Ardent]] [[Kabsal]], a member of the [[Ghostblood]]s, tried to assassinate Princess [[Jasnah Kholin]] with backbreaker powder.{{book ref\|sa1\|50}} He sprinkled it over bread like flour, and put the antidote in the jam,{{book ref\|sa1\|50}} which Jasnah dislikes.{{book ref\|sa1\|48}} For months, he failed to persuade her to ever try the bread.{{book ref\|sa1\|50}} However, after Brightlady [[Shallan Davar]] was hospitalized following her first Soulcasting, Shallan convinced Jasnah to try the poisoned bread.{{book ref\|sa1\|48}} However, Jasnah was able to avoid ingesting the poison by [[Soulcasting]] the bread as she consumed it.{{book ref\|sa1\|70}} She also Soulcast the jam as well, as an extra precaution, unaware that the antidote was in the jam. Kabsal's plan went awry, and instead of Jasnah, he and [[Shallan Davar]] were poisoned,{{book ref\|sa1\|48}} while the antidote in the jam had inadvertently been Soulcast away.{{book ref\|sa1\|70}} Jasnah saved Shallan by Soulcasting her blood to remove the poison,{{book ref\|sa1\|48}} but Kabsal died.{{book ref\|sa1\|50}}
