There are a few common ways for a Splinter to come into existence and most require the will of a Shard on some level. Perhaps the most common is that a Shard creates a Splinter by intentionally separating a bit of its power from itself.{{wob ref|9511}} This may be done for the purpose of creating some sort of synthetic race, such as the spren or seons. Another reason to create a Splinter is if a Shard wishes to prevent a soul from passing on to the [[Beyond]]. They may make it into a Cognitive Shadow by either merging the Splinter with the soul or imprinting the soul upon the power, as is the case with the [[Fused]] and the [[Returned]].{{wob ref|5995}} It is uncertain whether or not an avatar of a Shard could be considered to be a Splinter, or if there is some other qualitative difference.

 

 

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}}
