A Shard may also Splinter another Shard, tearing off one or many chunks of its power, typically for the purpose of diminishing it. This is a process that transcends the three realms{{wob ref|7967}} and if a Shard is completely destroyed in this way it is said to be '''Splintered'''. Typically either a Vessel may be killed and then their Shard subsequently Splintered,{{msh ref|6|4}} or more commonly the Splintering may happen as one titanic event that kills the Vessel and disperses the power.{{msh ref|3|2}} The Splintering of a Shard may also have consequences in the Physical Realm. The power of a Splintered Shard may ravage a planet uncontrollably if the Investiture is not contained.{{au ref|sel}} There may be other physical effects of a Splintering, such as the formation of an asteroid belt in a system.{{wob ref|13213}}
A Splintered Shard cannot have a Vessel while it remains in such a state, but its Splinters may be reconstituted into a full Shard via an unknown process,{{wob ref|1070}} although it will not restore the original Vessel.{{wob ref|5993}} This is not known to have occured yet in the cosmere.{{wob ref5147}} If a Splinter's parent Shard is itself completely Splintered, there may be some impact on any already extant Splinters.{{wob ref|13381}} Whether or not a Shard can Splinter another Shard is dependent upon the amount of raw [[Investiture]] that Shard is able to make use of at the time,{{wob ref|9540}} as well as its ability to leverage said power, and its knowledge of the process.{{msh ref|3|2}}{{wob ref|9616}} There are more and less efficient ways to Splinter a Shard and it may grow easier with practice.{{wob ref|9563}}{{wob ref|9616}} Even a successful Splintering is taxing on the Shard performing the Splintering and may require some recovery by the [[Shard]] afterward.{{wob ref|9881}} In some cases whether or not a Shard is Splintered may be a somewhat vague term.{{wob ref|5072}} A Shard left on its own without a Vessel may also Splinter of its own accord, although that is not the only possibility.{{wob ref|1877}}

Splinters are perhaps most populous in the Rosharan system, residing in the form of spren and Cognitive Shadows on at least two of the planets there.{{au ref|roshar}} On Roshar itself Splinters most commonly take the form of spren, comprised often of some mixture between the Investiture of both [[Honor]] and [[Cultivation]].{{wob ref|13604}} The Shard [[Honor]] itself has actually been Splintered,{{wob ref|9810}} resulting in a much higher population of spren than before its destruction.{{cite}} Spren are more properly known as transformative cognitive entities,{{book ref|sa3|ars}} concepts from the Cognitive Realm that have gained power and sentience as people have personified them.{{book ref|sa2|1}} Notably powerful Splinters range in power from the true spren capable of forming [[Nahel bond]]s, such as the [[honorspren]],{{wob ref|3017}} to massive spren of larger importance such as the [[Stormfather]]{{wob ref|5991}} and the [[Nightwatcher]].{{wob ref|
Splinters of Odium are also present on that world, such as the [[Unmade]],{{wob ref|1672}} and other [[Voidspren]].{{cite}} The Cognitive Shadows of ancient long-dead [[singer]]s, known as the [[Fused]] are also considered to be Splinters.{{cite}} Historically these Splinters have been confined by the [[Oathpact]] to [[Braize]], a planet inhabited solely{{au ref|drominad}} by entire ecosystem of self-aware Splinters,{{au ref|roshar}} except during [[Desolation]]s.{{cite}} However, following the [[True Desolation]] and the appearance of the [[Everstorm]] on Roshar, they are present on both Braize and Roshar.{{cite}} It is unknown if any Splinters are present on [[Ashyn]], the third inhabited planet in the Rosharan system.{{au ref|roshar}} Splinters in this system are particularly vulnerable to the Unmade [[Sja-anat]], who is capable of corrupting Splinters with Investiture from Odium.{{book ref|sa3|97}}
