Harmony

[BooksBeforeDeath]

So we know that Harmony is the combination of both Ruin and Preservation. Does this mean that Harmony's power is equal to twice as much as any other shard, or is he equally powerful as any other shard, but with different capabilities (Ruin destroys, Preservation preserves). In other words, if 2 shards tried to destroy Scadrial, could Harmony oppose them in the same way we see Ruin and Preservation oppose each other, or would he only be able to stop one at a time.

[Gray to]

Harmony is twice as powerful than any other Shard, but because the Intents are opposites, it makes Sazed unable to do much or interfere.
