Difference between revisions of "Cognitive Shadow"

'''Cognitive Shadow''' is term used by [[Brandon]] to refer to a spirit that has not yet moved into the afterlife{{qa ref|1067|20|Steelheart release party|date=24th September, 2013}}. While the manifestations of this kind of entity can vary depending on the [[Shardworld|world]] it occurs on, Cognitive Shadows have consistent rules and can occur on any planet of the [[Cosmere]]. In general, they are similar to the concept of ghosts on Earth. Some of them are created when a person has sufficient attachment to something in Physical realm, or when a Shardholder that has held onto the [[Shard]] for a long time dies{{qa ref|1097|21|Orem Signing Report - Zas678|date=6th December, 2014}}.
