Ashyn currently has no [[Shard]], but [[Odium]] possibly spent time there as he followed the Ashynites to [[Roshar]].{{wob ref|6646}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|117}} Like most of [[Rosharan system]], the planet is 10-centric.{{wob ref|2745}}
The magic of Ashyn is disease-based. As the bacteria and viruses there seek to keep their hosts alive, they provide them with access to supernatural abilities, which differ depending on the disease. The Ashynites harness this by lowering their immune systems and deliberately infecting themselves to gain various powers.{{wob ref|7584}}{{wob ref|1862}}
Very little is known about the specific forms of magic granted by the illnesses, though one has been described. It causes hearing loss while allowing its host to manipulate gravity and as such, is crucial to the funcitoning of Ashyn's flying cities, as they are kept aloft by conclaves of people infected with it.{{wob ref|12271}} Other abilities granted by diseases include flying,{{wob ref|4043}} changing the color of objects,{{wob ref|12303|}} and passing through walls.{{wob ref|9849}} Diseases can also come with side effects, such as physical weakness, seeing hallucinations, and deadly fevers.{{wob ref|12303}}
Ashyn's magic system was not sickness-based from the start.{{wob ref|11304}} The original magic, which brought about the cataclysm, wasn't exactly like [[Surgebinding]], but shared the same basic principles.{{wob ref|8690}} The [[Eila Stele]] mentions humans using the powers of [[spren]] and [[Surge]]s, suggesting that the shift to bacteria and viruses as the focus of Ashynite magic might've happened some time after most people have already evacuated from Ashyn.{{epigraph ref|sa3|115}}▼
The abilities granted by the diseases last as long as the person is infected by the disease and disappears when their immune system beats the disease.{{wob ref|9849}} The abilities come directly from the diseases and the magic is similar to other symbiotic relationships in the cosmere.{{wob ref|11304}} Diseases can last anywhere from a week to years.{{wob ref|12303}}
