At its core, a Splinter is a significant measure of a Shard's power that has been separated from the main body of Investiture. A Splinter has never been a person,{{wob ref|4541}} although it may serve to create a Cognitive Shadow, most of which would be considered Splinters.{{wob ref|8757}} It is worth noting that there is some difference between a physical manifestation Investiture such as [[atium]] and [[lerasium]] or prpendicularities and a Splinter. While a Shard's power is never truly separated as it is all connected through the Spiritual Realm,{{cite}} Splinters represent power that has been released or removed by a Shard.{{wob ref|986}} Splinters tend to not have much in the way of a Physical aspect, as a chunk of Investiture it tends to be more rooted in the Cognitive and Spiritual Realms.{{wob ref|4066}} One distinguishing factor of a Splinter is that it may often have an intent of its own, separate from that of the parent Shard.{{wob ref|10089}} While many Splinters are comprised of Investiture of a single Shard, in the case of some Splinters they may actually be comprised of the Investiture or two or more Shards.
It is certain that all Splinters do not contain the exact same quantity of Investiture, as a Splinter may be Splintered yet again into smaller fragments.{{wob ref|11677}} However, it is likely that there is some threshold below which a quantity of Investiture is not considered to be a Splinter. For instance a divine Breath is considered to be a Splinter,{{cite}} but there is no indication that the lesser Breath possessed by normal people is considered to be a Splinter. In fact, the small amount of Investiture present in sapient beings that is known as Innate Investiture is also distinct from Splinters.{{wob ref|1072}}
By the strictest definition, a Cognitive Shadow may not be considered to be a Splinter, because Splinters have normally been defined as something that has never been human. However, there is an argument to be made that a Cognitive Shadow is just an imprint of a once-living being on Investiture, and has therefore never truly been human. Nevertheless, they operate by similar rules and many Cognitive Shadows may be made of an amount of Investiture equivalent or potentially even greater than a typical Splinter.
