These Shards are named after their respective [[intent]], which represents the driving force of the power{{ref|b|mb3|a|58}}--an aspect of creation. However, after the Shattering, the Shards were left with no mind to control the power. For [[Realmatic]] reasons, a mind--Cognitive power--must be attached to the Spiritual power of the Shard. People eventually took up these Shards, like [[Rayse]] and [[Bavadin]], who share some history with whoever wrote [[the Letter]].
 
When a person takes up a Shard, the extreme power vaporizes the body, allowing the person’s mind to expand. {{ref|?|727|45}} From then on, the person’s consciousness feeds on the power of the Shard to remain alive{{ref|b|mb3|a|58}}, but the Shard’s intent is the driving force of the power. Over an immense time--centuries, perhaps millennia--a Shardholder’s mind begins to change, slowly molding to the Shard’s intent.{{ref|b|mb3|a|57}}{{ref|?|691|17|Will Sazed go mad?}}
