|[[Khriss]] on [[Adonalsium]]{{msh ref|3|2}}
}}
When the cosmere began, there was an entity known as Adonalsium; thatthis entity is widely believed to have created the cosmere.{{wob ref|4850}} Perhaps for this reason, Adonalsium is sometimes referred to as "the power of creation."{{wob ref|6072}} Investiture was Adonalsium's power,{{wob ref|5799}} which has led cosmere scholars to conclude that either Investiture seeks intelligence because it used to be Adonalsium or that Adonalsium came into being because Investiture sought intelligence.{{wob ref|9324}}
 
The exact nature of Adonalsium, however, remains unclear. It may have been a mere force that acted according to specific rules or an actual entity that could think on its own; Khriss suspects the latter.{{msh ref|3|2}} The way Adonalsium saw the cosmere was simply how the cosmere worked;. asFor a result of thisexample, the [[spren]] on [[Roshar]] could not form fabrials prior to the Shattering because Adonalsium did not want them to be able to do so.{{wob ref|13525}} This suggests that Adonalsium may have wanted the Shattering to occur.
 
Some say there are "subtle forces" being manifest, separate from Adonalsium, likely referring to belief in the [[God Beyond]].{{wob ref|3436}}
|The [[Stormfather]] on [[Shard]]s of Adonalsium{{book ref|sa3|16}}
}}
During the [[Shattering of Adonalsium|Shattering]], Adonalsium split into sixteen pieces, referred to as [[Shard]]s of Adonalsium,. eachEach takingof these Shards represents a particular facet, or intent, of the greater power of Adonalsium. Sixteen people involved in the Shattering then took up those Shards, becoming the first Vessels and effectively ascending to godhood.{{msh ref|3|2}} There was some sort of force or property of the cosmere that caused Adonalsium to shatter into the sixteen Shards that it did,{{wob ref|9956}} and the distribution of the Shards to the Vessels was not random.{{wob ref|5490}}

As it turned out that, however, thoughThough 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 theretheir independence.{{epigraph ref|sa1|18}}{{wob ref|5485}} [[Leras]] for example, became unable to cause harm, even to preserve other things.{{book ref|mb3|81}}{{msh ref|2|3}} It is unclear whether the original Vessels knew this when they took up their Shards, but, eventually, the Vessels came to be known simply by their Shard's name.
 
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}}
 
A Vessel's 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.--> Since Shards exist primarily in the Spiritual Realm, they also have some ability to look into the future, though not all Shards are equally good at this and it fragments into more and more possibilities the further they look.{{wob ref|8147}}{{book ref|sa3|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}} The interactions between their Investiture and a planet, give rise to Invested Arts that are far more powerful than those formed by people accessing background Investiture.{{wob ref|5269}}{{wob ref|4097}}
