Sombra cognitiva

Cognitive Shadow is term used by Brandon to refer to a spirit that has not yet moved into the afterlife. While the manifestations of this kind of entity can vary depending on the world it occurs on, Cognitive Shadows have consistent rules and can occur on any planet of the Cosmere. In general, they are similar to the concept of ghosts on Earth. Some of them are created when a person has sufficient attachment to something in Physical realm, or when a Shardholder that has held onto the Shard for a long time dies.

Examples

Kelsier

After his death, Kelsier still managed to influence Physical Realm for some time, even holding Preservation's shard for a time.

Shades

Common on Threnody, Shades are somewhat unique in that they can convert living people into more Shades. This is explained by the kind of Investiture the people on that planet help, as well as the lack of Shard.

Stormfather

A cognitive shadow of Honor on Roshar.
