As it turned out that, however, though the power of a Shard requires a mind to control it, the intent of a Shard will slowly warp the minds of those that hold it, overriding there independence.{{epigraph ref|sa1|18}}{{wob ref|
The Shards have access to infinite power, but the Vessels' minds, even though they are expanded by holding the Shard, are not capable of wielding it all at once.{{wob ref|8605}}{{wob ref|8702}} The Shards are also limited by certain rules that restrict how they can act;{{book ref|sa3|16}}{{book ref|sa1|75}} for example, they must fulfill a formally made oath.{{wob ref|13144}}{{book ref|sa3|122}} Shards can also intervene to block another Shard's actions.{{book ref|mb3|76}}
Despite these restrictions, however, the Shards are generally capable of both subtle and incredible changes. Among other things, they can change to orbit of entire planets, make changes to individuals and entire species on a genetic level, alter some of the mechanics of an Invested Art resulting from their presence on a planet, and speak into the minds of people.{{book ref|mb3|82}}{{wob ref|5971}}{{book ref|mb3|77}} Their expanded mind also allows them to stretch time to fit their needs and they can move their focus around a world in which they are Invested instantaneously.{{book ref|mb3|76}}{{book ref|mb3|79}} <!--I swear there's a scene at the end of mb3 where Vin basically goes "this is boring" and skips ahead to something (when the koloss show up?) but I can't find it.--> Shards can also create various constructs that will act according to rules they lay down and do not require direct action on their part to maintain. Examples of this include how [[Preservation]] set up the [[mist]]s to [[Snapping|Snap]] people and the [[Dalinar's visions|visions]] [[Honor]] left for potential [[Order of Bondsmiths|Bondsmiths]].{{wob ref|4445}}{{book ref|sa1|75}}
At least one Shard, [[Autonomy]], has also shown the ability to create additional avatars of herself.{{epigraph ref|sa3|50}} Shardic avatars appear to be personalities tied to a piece of a Shard's power that can nevertheless be disconnected from the main focus of a Shard's Investiture, allowing them to operate far from the main body of the Shard's attention and power and with a degree of independence.{{wob ref|3974}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|43}}{{wob ref|9385}} Avatars can be created without a Shard's conscious involvement, but a Shard is always aware of his or her avatars.{{wob ref|13220}}
Since the Shattering, the Shards have been the primary source of magic in the cosmere,{{wob ref|4097}} '''Kind of a duplicate of Investiture, but probably should also be here'''
