2 That1Cellist Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 Here are some fun related WOBs Spoiler Questioner Would somebody be able to use enough Investiture or Breath to achieve Shard-- Or to become-- Brandon Sanderson When they are becoming the Vessel of a Shard, this is kind of what's happening. So it's a theoretically possible thing, but it would be basically indistinguishable from just picking it up. Skyward San Diego signing (Nov. 7, 2018) Spoiler unknown Is it possible to make an artificial shard? And not in an easy manner but if one had the resources and time could they make one? Brandon Sanderson I'm not sure what an artificial shard would be. You'd be using the power from Adonalsium to do it--so it wouldn't be 'artificial,' by cosmere terms. You'd just be collecting power. The question becomes if you gather enough of it, would it combine back together--which is a RAFO in the world. Nobody knows. /r/fantasy AMA 2017 (May 1, 2017) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 alder24 Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 Whose investiture? All investiture in Cosmere is associated with an Shard, and therefore has an Intent. So whatever investiture you are picking up, you will become a shard that already exists if it doesn't have a Vessel. If you are picking up investiture from 2 different sources, you will be a Shard with two Shards - like Harmony is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing to note here, I think Brandon has slowly brought in the idea of non-Shardic aligned Investiture with the Aethers and Dawnshards. Quote ChromatiCaos You said that all Investiture got assigned to a Shard when Adonalsium got Shattered, which Investiture do the Dawnshards draw from? What about the aethers? Brandon Sanderson Dawnshards and aethers both predate the Shattering, and the rules don't apply to them.
