A Cognitive Shadow can be permanently killed by the use of a [[raysium]] dagger touching a gem of anti-Light of the type of [[Investiture]] associated with the Cognitive Shadow.{{book ref|sa4|102}}{{book ref|sa4|97}} For instance, a raysium dagger with an [[anti-Voidlight]] gem can permanently kill a [[Fused]], and a similar dagger with [[anti-Stormlight]] can permanently kill a Herald.{{epigraph ref|sa4|91}} Additionally, Cognitive Shadows can be killed by negating their Connection to all three Realms, a process which destroys the anchor against the pull of the Beyond. The experience is described as having your soul ripped apart.{{book ref|sa4|116}}{{epigraph ref|sa4|92}}
Cognitive Shadows are influenced by how people view them over time, although this takes centuries due to their own strong sense of self.{{wob ref|16076}} But Cognitive Shadows with less sense of self, or less controlled by another source, are more easily malleable by Cognitive influence.{{book ref|yumi|3}}{{wob ref|15524}} Cognitive Shadows that are normally invisible to people in the Physical Realm can still be seen and heard by people who exist partly in the Cognitive Realm.{{book ref|Yumi|17}}
