Based on what we know currently about the ten heartbeats, why does Szeth require ten heartbeats to bring forth his Honorblade?Brandon Sanderson
Perception is a very important part of how these things all work, and remember, the Honorblades work differently from everything else. Everything was based upon them. Why don’t you read and find out what’s going on there, but remember, the characters’ perception is very important.

So then that’s why at one point Shallan requires ten heartbeats and now she doesn’t.
Brandon Sanderson
Right, just like—it’s the exact same reason why Kaladin’s forehead wounds don’t heal, because he views himself as need—as having those, somewhere deep inside of him, and that can’t heal until that goes away. And it’s the same reason why in Warbreaker, when you bring something to life your intention, rather than really what you say, is what matters. It’s all about perception.
