What would happen if Hoid held Nightblood?
Brandon Sanderson
Uh, Hoid would not do that. Hoid would stay very far away.
Stormlightning
Not even hold it??
Brandon Sanderson
He would stay really far away. There are very few things in the Cosmere that Hoid is afraid of, and Nightblood is one of them.
Stormlightning
I thought he'd be afraid of the blade end.
Brandon Sanderson
So let's just say if very, very, very few things in the Cosmere had a chance of destroying you, you wouldn't even pick one up. You'd try to be in a different room entirely.

Brandon Sanderson
I didn't say, I said theoretically. I said "had a chance of", I did not confirm. Hoid doesn't know. But there's a chance, and so he is not going to risk that.
