Pulling Shards into the physical realm

[SPECTRE120]

What would happen if you pulled a shard (and its investiture) from the spiritual realm into the physical realm? I don't know how you would actually do that, I'm just interested in what would happen if you did. Would it create an investiture black hole? Would it kill the shard?

It would be disastrous. Worse than what happened on Sel, where investiture of Devotion and Dominion got pushed into Cognitive Realm after Odium Splintered them both. Yes, it would Splinter the Shard.

Questioner

So, Sel: Investiture has been pushed into the Cognitive Realm. Threnody: Has it seen something similar?

Brandon Sanderson

It has not seen... Okay. Yes, something similar. It would count. Something similar, yes.

Questioner

If that's the case, what would happen if you were to push Investiture into the Physical Realm?

Brandon Sanderson

It generally manifests either as a solid, liquid, or gas

Questioner

I thought about that. I was like, "We've seen that," but it seemed like a concentrated form. What if you did for like a whole Shard?

Brandon Sanderson

That would probably have disastrous effects. 

Questioner

That's why I was thinking for Threnody, but if it hasn't been that, then something else happened.

Brandon Sanderson

It hasn't been that. Something else happened.

An Investiture Black Hole Perpendicularity seems likely, or at least some sort of astronomical shardic object, like a nebula of manifest Investiture in some mix of the three phases. 

 

Come to think of it, there's a good chance that it would manifest Red, and be visible from pretty far away....

Your thinking too small shareds are BIG your probably looking at a investiture cloud the size of the cosmere
