'''Shardwielding''' is a term used to refer to the act of using a '''[[Shardblade]]''' or a suit of '''[[Shardplate]]'''. If someone is capable of Shardwielding with either Blade or Plate, they are considered to be a '''Shardbearer'''. If they own both, they are known as a full Shardbearer.

Although the term generally refers to true Shardblades and Shardplate, the term Shardbearer is also applied to those who hold Shardblade-like weapons, such as the [[Honorblade]]s. The blade [[Nightblood]] is also referred to as a Shardblade, similarly any other type IV BioChromatic entities would be as well. Highmarshall [[Azure]]'s Shardblade is suspected of being a type IV BioChromatic entity, as it is called a "sprenless Shardblade".
A list of all Shardbearers can be found here [[:Category:Shardbearers]]

The term "Shardbearer" is not to be confused with "[[Shard]]" or "Shardholder," which is a non-canon term for a [[Vessel]] of the shattered power of [[Adonalsium]].
