Las esferas de vidrio que no contienen una gema son conocidas como '''ends'''. Sirven como dinero falso que se puede usar para jugar a juegos de apostar, como [[piezas]], si los jugadores no quieren arriesgar esferas reales.{{book ref|sa3|40}}
== InvestitureInvestidura ==
Por muy útil que sean las esferas en el día a día de la mayoría de rosharianos, su propiedad de mantener Investidura en forma de Luz tormentosa es especialmente útil para un par de grupos de personas específicos: [[Potenciador]]es y habitantes de [[Shadesmar]].
As useful as spheres are in the everyday life of most Rosharans, their property of holding Investiture in the form of Stormlight is especially useful to a couple of very specific groups of people - [[Surgebinder]]s and denizens of [[Shadesmar]].
=== SurgebindersPotenciadores ===
Para los Potenciadores (incluyendo tanto a los [[Caballeros Radiantes]] pre-Tración y a las Órdenes recién restauradas por [[Dalinar]], como a los portadores de [[Hoja de Honor|Hojas de Honor]] como [[Szeth]] antes de su muerte) las esferas, como las gemas comunes, actúan como fuentes de Luz tormentosa portables, convenientes, y discretas para darle poder a sus [[Potencias|habilidades]]. Por esto, los Potenciadores a menudo llevan bolsas llenas de esferas infusas, aunque si se encuentran en una situación en que sus esferas no están disponibles, accesibles, o están opacas, suelen ser capaces de usar las esferas que es encuentran en su entorno.
For Surgebinders - including both pre-Recreance [[Knights Radiant]] and [[Dalinar]]'s newly restored Orders, as well as wielders of [[Honorblade]]s such as [[Szeth]] prior to his death - the spheres, much like ordinary gemstones, act as a portable, convenient, and inconspicuous source of Stormlight to power their [[Surgebinding|abilities]]. Because of this, Surgebinders often carry pouches full of infused spheres, although if they find themselves in a situation where their own spheres are unavailable, inaccessible, or dun, they are often able to make use of spheres frequently found in the environment.

=== ShadesmarDivisas Currencyde Shadesmar ===
Similarly to how spheres have become the dominant currency in the [[Physical Realm]] of Roshar, they have become prevalent in its [[Cognitive Realm]] as well - though for slightly different reasons. In the Physical Realm the value of each sphere is determined primarily by the economic value of its gemstone, as it relates to Soulcasting. In Shadesmar, however, the real currency is the Stormlight, and spheres become only as valuable as the amount of Stormlight they hold at the moment of the transaction. Presumably out of convenience, prices are still communicated in terms of the sphere denominations defined in the Physical Realm, but the gemstone type becomes irrelevant; a freshly infused diamond mark has the same value in Shadesmar as a freshly infused emerald mark - they are both "one mark of Stormlight," even though in the Physical Realm emeralds are fifty times more expensive than diamonds.
