Adonalsium3652 Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Hi, I have gotten into the Brandon Sanderson's world of the Cosmere and I am wondering, who is more power the Adonalsium or the individual shards. Or in future Stormlight books could there be someone even more powerful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanghur Rahl Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 A Shard is 1/16th of Adonalsium. So... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adonalsium3652 Posted August 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 True, but because of the mix of powers and intents I wondered if the Adonalsium is balanced or in chaos. Where as the shards have one goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Trellium Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Quote The worlds you now tread bear the touch and design of Adonalsium. Our interference so far has brought nothing but pain. My path has been chosen very deliberately. Yes, I agree with everything you have said about Rayse, including the severe danger he presents. However, it seems to me that all things have been set up for a purpose, and if we—as infants—stumble through the workshop, we risk exacerbating, not preventing, a problem. That is from Frost's letter to Hoid. Both are older than the Shardholders and yet see themselves as children in comparison to Adonalsium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where as the shards have one goal. The whole problem with the Shards is that they embody only a single attribute (and I guess all closely related attributes) and no others, which means that their attributes have no context. Adonalsium would have been a complete being, whereas the Shards are basically single-aspect savants. Adonalsium would have been far more powerful, both in terms of raw power and context with which to wield it.
