All Shards are a mode taken to the extreme. All Valor cares about is Valor. You can justify retreat pretty easily, and no Shard is going to rebel so soon against one of the Shatterers, but it will still have gripes, which might easily be swayed by other means. (Like, Virtuosity could be fine with desecrating the work of Adonalsium if it means new artistry takes form)

Like continually working to oppose Virtuosity, pursuing him even as he flees from the supernova, or perhaps workings to contain the blast or resultant black hole.

It's bravery to the point of foolishness. No shard believes in moderation- that's their whole thing.

I don't think thats true

Can someone explain to me Microkenisis? I would like my MoI to be somewhat similar to it and don't have the time to read Dragonsteel Prime (Although I will read it in the future)

Every shard we've seen was their intent taken to extreme, stripped of context. Honor believe in oaths- it doesn't care about what it means, just the words. Odium is divine wrath- without mercy or compassion to give it direction or temperament. Preservation believes in an absolute stasis, finding all change repugnant. Ruin thinks everything must be destroyed  eventually (Ruin was tempered somewhat by Ati- that eventually is important)

It stands to reason that Valor would be the same. Courage taken too far is foolishness, and Bravery taken too far is recklessness.

Some people can manipulate certain materials- one person light, others plants, another physical matter. It takes something from them, that comes back with rest.

Is it inherited or learned?

Well. We haven't had our shards for that long, so their intent is probably pretty easy to counter/redirect

Here’s what I remember:

Spoiler

In DP, it’s expending a well of energy to manipulate atoms, called axi. Users of it are seen destroying objects and people, manipulating light, and speeding the growth of plantlife. Cohesion and Stoneshaping are noted to be similar to Microkinesis, but more limited. Tension could theoretically resemble a possible use as well.

In short, it’s extensive matter manipulation by messing with atoms. Users also can ‘see’ atoms and differentiate them, which is neat.

To a degree- odium couldn't be redefined as passion, for example. Valor already has started, by showing compassion for his enemies.

And the shard won't flee him yet, no matter what he does. Honor stuck with tannavast, despite his oath breaking.

People are just kinda born with it, and generally could only use it to do a certain subset of things. Each example above corresponds to something single person could do well, with others being very difficult. One could manipulate light well, another destroy well, etc.

There was another magic in DP that could be learned, but microkinesis is intrinsic.

Tzai Blows. It’s expending Cognitive energy to attack something’s Spiritual aspect, such that it is damaged in the Physical. A little bit like Nightblood or Shardblades, in that it damages the spirit.

Valor could probobly do a strategic retreat, if you could convince the shard its right and still brave

Meh. If the blackhole isn't destroyed it will go around destroying other worlds

Theoretically, one could do a mega time dilation acceleration thing until Hawking Radiation turns it to nothing, but that’s probably like a thousand year commitment, along with other notable scruples.

True, but that doesn’t preclude it from becoming subject to outside effect.

Flood it with anti-investiture

Mh. Might not work.

Emberdark 

Spoiler

Honestly it probably should be a creature of anti-Investiture, like the entities, but that's a spoiler and would make the whole thread emberdark spoiler.

Anyways, the entities don't get obliterated by the intensier, so id be surprised if the Maw does.
