The origins of Spellbreaker are very unclear. There are two basic schools of thought for where it originated from: 1. Loraan is responsible for Spellbreaker's special abilities. Evidence for this: 1. * He's a powerful Wizard, obviously capable of making such a thing if anyone is. 2. * Vlad found it in his possession, and he even claims later (in Athyra) that it belongs to him. 3. * He seems very familiar with its abilities to block spells. (He gets fear in his eyes when he sees it in Vlad's hands in Taltos.) 4. * Godslayer is obviously not 100% the same as it used to be. (At the very least Teldra's soul is a new element)... We don't know for sure that Spellbreaker was even involved in the original version of the weapon. 5. * We have seen Wizards (namely Orlaan) place

We don't know for sure that Spellbreaker was even involved in the original version of the weapon. 5. * We have seen Wizards (namely Orlaan) place souls in inanimate objects before. (Placing Aliera's soul in a wooden staff) 2. Some argue that Spellbreaker derives its special abilities from the fact that it is a component of a Great Weapon that was disassembled previously, and that therefore Spellbreaker was like this before Loraan got ahold of it. Evidence for this theory: 1. * Spellbreaker's additional powers (sentience, bonding with its owner, mysterious changing of shape and length, motile abilities) sound more like Great Weapon attributes than wizardly tinkering. 2. * It's got some ability to move itself and some tiny amount of sentience, both evident the first time Vlad sees it in Loraan's workshop. We know of Serioli investing weapons with sentience, but not Athyra wizards. 3. * If Loraan had invested it deliberately with the ability to bond to its bearer and stay in place, why was it sitting in a case instead of on Loraan's arm? 4. * If Spellbreaker wasn't one of the original Godslayer's components, what was? 5. * The Serioli whom Vlad and Morollan meet asks to be introduced to Spellbreaker and Blackwand, as if they were sentient beings. On being asked if Spellbreaker is a Great Weapon, the Serioli says "not yet." The Serioli also explains that there 'was/will be' a weapon called 'Destroyer of aspects of deity' and that Spellbreaker is somehow connected.
