sandro Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) Brandon said that bad things would have happened if Kelsier hadn't been around to temporarily take control of Preservation's power after Leras died and hold it until Vin took it. I don't know if this topic has come up before, but I'm wondering what would have happened. Perhaps the following: Shard's power has no mind to shape/control/unify it The the various facets of the shard's intent gain a measure of sentience in order to compensate for the lack of a mind These facets disagree with each other and pull the power of the shard apart into a multitude of splinters. If that's the case, then splintering a shard is as simple as killing the shard's holder and then preventing it from finding a new one for a period of time.

Arook Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Ya but Brandon has said it is a long process to splinter a shard. Of course what if the power were to have died not just splinter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argent Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 It is possible that both are possible - Shards Splinter naturally if left without a Holder for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
