Yata he/him Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 A weird Scenario come to my mind an I want the other Sharder's opinions. What will happen if a Shard invested every bit of its power ? More in details I though about creating a whole planet and life in it. Of course for a Shard to running out of Investiture, the planet have to be huge, having many lifeforms and the lifeforms have to be high Invested (so Invested that, an Nalthis guy seems a Drab to them). It would be fashinating to imagine a world like that but my main point was. What will happen to the Shard and its Vessel ? Any Ideas ? Some outcomes that came to my mind are: - The Shard is so high spread that the Vessel in the end became a Sliver and lose the Shard. - Nothing happen but the raw power avaliable to the Shard is quite nothing PS: This idea come to my mind while reading the theory about Threnody as a memento for a dead shard. But it has moved away very quickly from that starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinnacle-Ferring he/him Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 I'm not sure if it's physically possible for a Shard to fully invest itself into something. That being said, if a Shard were to hypothetically so that, I think the Vessel would just Descend (a term I just invented meaning the opposite of Ascension) and become a Sliver.

happyman he/him Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 My guess is that the Shard would become what we see of Preservation in M:SH. Still effectively a god, but one that's been somewhat brought down to normal. Still holds a strong spark of the divine, though, and is therefore qualitatively different than normal people. Somehow. I liked the description in Secret History, but it's all a bit---hard to explain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preservation was quite whole in his power, just Leras was quite mindless....therefore I don't know if we are in a likely situation. Anyway maybe there is some osmosis-like effect... A shard may easly Invest his power because it has many more power than the "outside world"... If his power began to became much lower invest something became harder, and if we continue this process it would in the end be uncapable to invest his power more. It may be a fashinating question for mister Sanderson, we may recive some new information about Shard's power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
