“The world can change. Surgebinding and Shardwielding can return; the magics of ancient days can become ours again. ”
—Unknown Sleepless
Shardwielding is a term used to refer to the act of using a Shardblade or a suit of Shardplate. If someone is capable of Shardwielding with either Blade or Plate, they are considered to be a Shardbearer. If they own both, they are known as a full Shardbearer.
Although the term generally refers to true Shardblades and Shardplate, the term Shardbearer is also applied to those who hold Shardblade-like weapons, such as the Honorblades. The blade Nightblood is also referred to as a Shardblade, similarly any other type IV BioChromatic entities would be as well. Highmarshall Azure's Shardblade is suspected of being a type IV BioChromatic entity, as it is called a "sprenless Shardblade".
The term "Shardbearer" is not to be confused with "Shard" or "Shardholder," which is a non-canon term for a Vessel of the shattered power of Adonalsium.
