LadyLameness (talk | contribs) (Undo revision 132284 by Niser Resin (talk) Oathbringer throws in what happens after people go through Devotion's Perpendicularity (even then, it is likely the plasma storm that would kill people and not the perpendicularity itself). We also do not know that only Preservation is able to make their perpendicularity bestow power - this might be possible by any Shard.) Tag: Undo |

Perpendicularities are formed at locations with a large concentration of Investiture. The concentration of Investiture brings the three realms closer together and allows travel between them.{{au ref|drominad}} The proximity of the realms also makes [[Soulcasting]] easier.{{book ref|sa3|120}} They occur naturally when a [[Shard]] spends lots of time on a world.{{wob ref|3504}} Generally, leaving a planet would cause the Shard's perpendicularity to disappear. As a result, their presence is often used to indicate the presence of a Shard. Special circumstances, however, can prevent the perpendicularity from disappearing, and there is at least one Shard that fits these circumstances.{{wob ref|2570}}{{wob ref|4740}} [[Aluminum]] can be used to take liquid from a perpendicularity, and it will stay Invested.{{wob ref|9233}} They can be used to see into the Spiritual Realm.{{wob ref|10945}} [[Nightblood]] is able to collapse a perpendicularity.{{wob ref|12915}}

* '''Cultivation''': [[Cultivation's Perpendicularity]] is located in the [[Horneater Peaks]], under the surface of one of the [[Horneater Oceans]]. For [[worldhopper]]s of Roshar, it's the main method of travelling between Roshar and its subastral, [[Shadesmar]].{{book ref|sa3|93}} Most recently, it has been besieged by the [[Fused]].{{book ref|sa3|102}}
