As Rashek was using the power of the Well, he changed many aspects of life on [[Scadrial]], in order to save the world from the [[Deepness]]. Many of his changes, however, created even more problems that needed to be addressed. He moved the planet closer to its sun in an attempt to burn the mists away. The new orbit was too close to the sun, and he created active volcanoes to produce large amounts of ash and smoke to cool down the world.{{epigraph ref|mb3|4}} The climate of ceaseless ashfalls required some mechanism to break down the ash, that the world did not suffocate on it, so Rashek altered the plant life to be able to survive the ash and created microbes to break it down. However, that was still not enough to save humanity. Rashek altered the physiology of humans on Scadrial to be able to survive the ashfall.{{epigraph ref|mb3|5}}{{epigraph ref|mb3|15}}
 
Further alterations to the world and humanity were made to secure his rule over the world. The original Terris mountains were flattened, and new mountains were raised in the north in an area which he renamed Terris in order to hide the location of the Well of Ascension.{{epigraph ref|mb3|12}} While he had adapted humanity to the ash, he made other changes, creating the [[NobelNoble|nobility]] and the [[skaa]] of the [[Final Empire]] with slight alterations to their physiology. The nobility he made taller, stronger and more intelligent, but less fertile. The skaa he made more fertile, shorter and hardier.{{epigraph ref|mb3|25}}
 
He offered his friends a choice to make on behalf of all living Feruchemists, to transform them into [[mistwraith]]s. His friends he further transformed into [[kandra]] to allow them to retain their minds and their memories. In this process, he failed to account for Feruchemy genes still dormant in the Terris population, an oversight which allowed more Feruchemists to be born into following generations.{{epigraph ref|mb3|68}}

}}
A Sliver of Preservation due to his time holding the power of the Well, Rashek did not immediately pass on to the [[Beyond]] after his death. Once his spirit manifested in the [[Cognitive Realm]], he went to the location of the Well where he found [[KelsieKelsier]]r and the remnants of [[Leras]]. He spoke briefly to Kelsier, dismissing him and Leras as impotent annoyances. Rashek was annoyed that he had been killed before he had been able to collect the power of the Well a second time. Kelsier attempted to confront him about the source of his powers, while Rashek touched the power emanating from the Well, examining it before disdainfully stating that he would not remain behind in their company and departing for the Beyond.{{msh ref|1|2}}
