Nightblood was created in collaboration between [[Vasher]] and [[Shashara]], [[Returned]] lovers and two of the [[Five Scholars]]. Shashara, a very talented [[Awakener]], has some feelings of envy after [[Yesteel]] invents [[ichor-alcohol]], so she begins experimenting with steel.{{book ref|wb|51}} She eventually discovers a method to Awaken steel and give it sentience, although she and Vasher do not fully understand how this is possible.{{book ref|wb|51}} She reaches the Ninth [[Heightening]] and uses a thousand [[BioChromatic_Breath|Breaths]] and a very difficult visualization to Awaken a sword with the [[Command]] "Destroy Evil." However, the sword had no concept of evil, and so the Breaths it inherited decided evil was "someone who would try to take the sword and use it for evil purposes, selling it, manipulating, and extorting others, that sort of thing."{{wob ref|7278}}
Upon being Awakened, the entire sword turned black{{wob ref|8245}} and began leaking black smoke.{{wob ref|7374}} Nightblood was not originally a [[Feruchemy|metalmind]] or a [[Hemalurgic]] spike.{{wob ref|13044}} If a different Allomantically viable metal had been used, Nightblood would have likely manifested different powers and capabilities.{{wob ref|15263}}
