Difference between revisions of "Adonalsium"

After Adonalsium shattered into its present form, the pieces were given to or taken by individuals that then had the powers of the aspect of the Shard of Adonalsium. These people tend to act like imperfect gods, capable of creating and destroying worlds. Many of these "gods" give specific magical powers to the people on their worlds, and most of Brandon Sanderson's novels take place in one of these planets. The nature of the common people's powers is modeled after the power of the Shard in question. For example, the Mistborn series has powers based on metal, since the two Shards used to create the Mistborn world are physical in nature ([[Ruin]] and [[Preservation]]).{{disputed|http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/22507- uncited WoB?, and qa:691#8 RAFO'ed something similar}}
