The '''Shards of [[Adonalsium]]''', or '''Shards''' for short, are pieces of the power of creation itself.<ref name='allomancy'>
They are named after a specific action or ideal, called an [[intent]]. A mind must control a Shard. When a person holds a Shard, they are imbued with its power, but they also become the Shard.<ref name='goodreads_shards'>[[Brandonology#Goodreads 2.0|Goodreads 2.0]] Q: Barring the Almighty, did we seen a Shardholder (like Sazed) in this book?</ref>
Despite this, fans have created the term '''Shardholder''' to refer to the person who holds a Shard (not to be confused with [[Shardbearer]]), but this term is not canonical.
