SirTraconus Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Say Odium breaks free, and through some crazy shardic tomfoolery, a similar situation occurred on Roshar to the one at the end of HoA, where there was a shard just laying around, waiting to be picked up. Could a spren pick it up, or do you have to be from the physical realm to become a shard?
Cruxer he/him Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Soren are fragments of a Shard's power, so I don't think that it's possible. Even Syl says that she's a small piece of a god's power, and you can't invest something that's a byproduct of investiture.
Yata he/him Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) To me it is possible at least in theory. We know that a Cognitive Shadow may pick a Shard (and a Cognitive Shadow is afterall a "spren of a deadman"). Therefore at least, someone in the Cognitive Realm can pick up a Shard (we saw this in Mistborn). Of course there is a "compatibility" problem, we know that pick up a Shard isn't an automatic task and there is thing that turn it in a easyer or harder work. A spren would probably have no problem to pick his "main shard" but I don't know other Shard with weird Intent (to him). Edited January 18, 2016 by Yata 1
