The Shards have access to infinite power, but the Vessels' minds, even though they are expanded by holding the Shard, are not capable of wielding it all at once.{{wob ref\|8605}}{{wob ref\|8702}} The Shards are also limited by certain rules that restrict how they can act;{{book ref\|sa3\|16}}{{book ref\|sa1\|75}} for example, they must fulfill a formally made oath.{{wob ref\|13144}}{{book ref\|sa3\|122}} Shards can also intervene to block another Shard's actions, though not perfectly.{{book ref\|mb3\|76}} Despite these restrictions, however, the Shards are generally capable of both subtle and incredible changes. Among other things, they can change tothe orbit of entire planets, make changes to individuals and entire species on a genetic level, alter some of the mechanics of an Invested Art resulting from their presence on a planet, and speak into the minds of people.{{book ref\|mb3\|82}}{{wob ref\|5971}}{{book ref\|mb5\|17}} Since Shards exist primarily in the Spiritual Realm, they also have some ability to look into the future, though not all Shards are equally good at this and it fragments into more and more possibilities the further they look.{{wob ref\|8147}}{{book ref\|sa3\|75}} Since the Shattering, the Shards have been the primary source of magic in the cosmere.{{wob ref\|4097}} The interactions between their Investiture and a planet give rise to Invested Arts that are far more powerful than those formed by people accessing background Investiture.{{wob ref\|5269}}{{wob ref\|4097}}
