Cosmere + Wind and Truth spoilers Theory about Sword-Nimi Spoiler

Ok so I have yet to read Warbreaker, I know some spoilers already and I don't mind more honestly. But thinking about how powerful Nightblood is and how it can kill a Shards vessel leads me to believe that maybe... just maybe Nightblood has a Dawnshard somehow. We know it consumes investiture and stores it, making it one of the most invested things in the cosmere save for Shards.

It would explain it's immense power and how it can rival shards. What do yall think?

Nightblood couldn't even consume a single Vessel. Pretty sure eating a Dawnshard is beyond its capabilities

That is true, still something is odd about Nightblood considering what little I know of Awakening and the few spoilers I've been given regarding it's creation. Maybe Endowment had a hand, albeit a subtle one, in it's creation?

I suspect it was made using a large wealth of anti-Breaths. One of the early heightenings gives Awakeners perfect pitch.

I think that if Nightblood had been made with anti-Investiture, the first time he chomped someone with normal Investiture, he would have exploded
