Slivers None

Splinters Divine Breath

Status Whole

The two pieces I would like to draw attention to, and which seem to counter one another, are Splinters and Status. According to Status, Endowment is whole, but according to Splinters, Endowment has been Splintered into Divine Breath. If Divine Breath was a Splinter of Endowment, then Endowment would not be whole.

 

This may simply be an interpretation error, though. I'd like to ask where it was stated that Divine Breath is a Splinter of Endowment.

Spren predate the death of honor, and yet are splinters. In fact, Cultivation and Odium are whole as far as we know and have spren. You can be more or less whole and still have pieces coming off of you.

You have, say, this rough plank of wood called Endowment. You can get some splinters of wood hurting you while touching it, or you can be Odium, strap it to some TNT, and blow it to smithereens, giving you thousands of pieces of wood everywhere ready to prick you.

Shards are able to voluntarily create Splinters while remaining whole.  I've added a citation for the divine Breath being Splinters of Endowment.
