A '''Half-shard''' is a type of [[Fabrial#Augmenter|augmenter fabrial]] developed by [[Veden]] [[Artifabrian]]s late during the [[War of Reckoning]].{{book ref|sa1|22}}
They are the only known objects able to block a [[Shardblade]] apart from [[Shardplate]], other Shardblades, metalminds and [[aluminium]]. Despite not granting any of the other benefits of Shardplate, such as enhanced strength and agility,{{book ref|sa1|22}} they represent a significant breakthrough in fabrial science. Their bulky size and shape often leads to their users being hampered in ways Shardbearers are not.{{book ref|sa1|i|9}} While inspired by Shardplate, half-shards work according to a different design principle.{{book ref|sa1|60}}
Their design consists of a diamond-shaped metal plate with an infused gem attached to its back to increase its durability.{{book ref|sa1|i|9}}
When [[Dalinar]] travels to [[Azimir]], [[Navani]] sends along detailed schematics of the new half-shards provided by [[Taravangian]] in an effort to generate good will with the Vizier's. {{book ref|sa3|65}}
