(Added the shattering of Virtuosity, wasn't exactly sure where to put it, so just placed it at the end of the Odium section and clarified we don't know if it has any relation to it or any other Shard.) |

When someone in the cosmere dies, their body remains in the Physical Realm and a [[Cognitive Shadow]] forms in the Cognitive Realm.{{msh ref|1|1}}{{book ref|mb6|28}} For most people, this Cognitive Shadow quickly moves on to the [[Beyond]] and their [[Investiture]] returns to the Spiritual Realm.{{msh ref|1|1}}{{book ref|mb6|28}} The more Investiture someone held in life, the longer they can linger before being drawn to the Beyond,{{msh ref|1|1}} but only [[Sliver]]s—those who once held a significant portion of a [[Shard]]'s power—can resist the Beyond forever, though they can still choose to go if they so desire.{{msh ref|6|8}} Before the person passes to the Beyond, however, they can still be restored via Investiture healing{{book ref|mb6|28}}{{book ref|sa2.5|8}} or be infused with enough Investiture to become a more permanent Cognitive Shadow, usually as a result of a Shard's action.{{msh ref|1|1}}{{book ref|sa4|15}} Those killed by [[Nightblood]]{{wob ref|10440}} or [[anti-Investiture]]{{book ref|sa4|97}}{{wob ref|14623}} or consumed by [[Yelig-nar]],{{wob ref|15139}} however, cannot be resurrected in any way, as nothing remains of their soul.
Time Travel to the past, in any of the Realms, is an impossibility.{{book ref|yumi|32}}
