→Lead-up: His artifical Connection from the Orb was actually pretty strong, his natural Connection was weak (relatively, he still had some pretty strong Connection from his being a Scadrian and a Mistborn, just not enough to be a good Vessel, especially due to not fitting the Intent).

With [[Ruin]] released upon the world and [[Preservation]]'s [[Vessel]] [[Leras]] weakening day-by-day, an endless fall of ash, intensifying earthquakes, and erupting [[ashmount]]s threatened the very existence of [[Scadrial]] and its people.{{epigraph ref|mb3|48}}
After his final conversation with [[Elend]], Leras finally died, leaving [[Preservation]] without a Vessel.{{book ref|mb3|55}}{{epigraph ref|mb3|56}} It would have quickly been absorbed by [[Vin]], who was specially attuned to Preservation's power, except for the fact that she was still wearing her [[Vin's earring|earring]], which was [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgically charged]], acting as a repulsive factor.{{epigraph ref|mb3|79}}{{epigraph ref|mb3|epilogue}} The [[Cognitive Shadow]] of [[Kelsier]] was able to partially absorb the power of Preservation, helping to delay Ruin's destruction of the world and preventing Ruin from splintering the former shard after he finished killing [[Leras]]. However Kelsier could not effectively weild it's power due to the fact that his Connection to the power was artificial
During Vin's final battle with all of Ruin's [[Feruchemy|Feruchemically enhanced]] [[Steel Inquisitors]] above [[Kredik Shaw]] in the abandoned [[Luthadel]], [[Marsh]] tore out Vin's earring, with Kelsier using all of his strength to distract Ruin and help push Marsh's last vestige of Humanity to rebel. As he was both a [[Cognitive Shadow]] and well-[[Connection|Connected]] to Ruin, Kelsier could not use the entirety of Preservation's power. Therefore he relinquished the shard to Vin after the spike was removed.{{msh ref|6|4}}{{msh ref|6|7}} Her body broken under the assault, Vin finally drew in the full power of Preservation. She obliterated all of the Inquisitors (save Marsh), and flattened Kredik Shaw with a single, immensely powerful push. Then fully ascended.{{book ref|mb3|73}}
