=== Shards ===
While the Shards of Adonalsium exist primarily in the Spiritual Realm,{{wob ref|6304}} their immense power has notable effects on all three of the Realms. Perhaps most significantly, Realmatic interactions between a Shard and a planet are what define the structure of any Invested Arts associated with that Shard on that planet.{{wob ref|6072}} Shards can consciously make some changes to this structure,{{wob ref|5971}}{{wob ref|7307}} but the extent to which they can interfere is limited.{{wob ref|8160}} If a Shard used their power to create the planet in the first place (as [[Preservation]] and [[Ruin]] did with [[Scadrial]]), they will be able to exercise more control.{{wob ref|5293}}
As Shards are composed of a significant amount of Investiture, their presence also bends the local Realmatic geometry. This effect is mostly limited to the Cognitive Realm, where a Shard's presence is partially responsible for the planet's subastral taking up a relatively large space compared to the space between planets.{{wob ref|3637}} If a Shard remains in a system for some time, this Realmatic bending will generally result in the formation of a perpendicularity.{{wob ref|3637}}{{wob ref|1551}}{{au ref|Drominad}} If a Shard wishes, they may also use their Investiture to curve the Realms in a way that creates a body in the Physical Realm.{{wob ref|9485}}
