The [[Seventeenth Shard]], however, are not a Shard of Adonalsium, but rather an organization of people who hop between worlds.{{17s ref|6}}
While it is not a requirement for taking up a Shard, it helps to be able to utilise Investiture.{{qa ref|979|56
== Known Shards ==
=== [[Splinter]] ===
It is unknown what the exact definition of a Splinter is, but the term seems to refer to a specific kind of fragment of a Shard's power. Unlike Slivers, a Splinter has never been human.{{qa ref|699|8}} Lerasium and atium, despite being condensed essences of their Shards, are not Splinters. One distinguishing factor of a Splinter is that they often have an [[intent]], separate from their Shards'. {{
The divine Breath that [[Returned]] hold (a Splinter of [[Endowment]]{{qa ref|680|13}}) and the Aon within a Seon (a Splinter of [[Devotion]]) are the only confirmed Splinters. Splinters also appear in ''[[The Way of Kings]]'', but not ''[[Mistborn series|Mistborn]]''.{{qa ref|699|8}}
