Investiture never goes away and always returns, a Vessel wielding a Shard has access to an endless supply of Investiture, however they have a finite amount they can wield at one time. Occasionally a shards power is condensed into a different form in the physical realm. Investiture can appear in one of three states: a gas or mist like substance, a liquid, or a solid. [[Stormlight]] and the mists on [[scadrial]] are examples of investiture manifesting as a gas. The well of ascension is [[preservation]]'s power condensed as a liquid. Some Aspects of Shards' power regenerate over time. The Well of Ascension reformed every 1024 years{{qa ref|691|3}} rather than vanishing forever. Atium also regenerates, though when atium was burned away, Ruin was not able to use it. It isn't known whether all of a Shard's power would regenerate eventually.
