(Minor content edit. Additionally, removed the part about Splinters gaining sapience, as the divine Breath certainly does not have that property. I do understand what you were trying to get to there, though.)
 
=== [[Splinter]] ===
BrandonIt hasis notunknown told uswhat the completeexact definition of a Splinter is, but itthe term seems to refersrefer to a specific kind of fragment of a Shard's power. Unlike Slivers, a Splinter has never been human, but rather was separated from their Shard. {{ref|?|699|8|How is a Splinter different from a Sliver?}} Lerasium and atium, despite being condensed essences of their Shards, are not Splinters. One distinguishing factor, of a Splinter seemsis tothat becomethey sapientoften whenhave itan bonds[[intent]], withseparate afrom humantheir Shards'. {{ref|?|552|<!--TODO:FIX when transcribed-->|Do Splinters have their own Intent, in addition to the Shards'?}}
 
The divine Breath that [[Returned]] hold (a Splinter of [[Endowment]]{{ref|?|680|13|If a returned gives away his/her breath they die right?}}) and the Aon within a Seon (a Splinter of [[Devotion]]) are the only confirmed Splinters,. butSplinters a Seon is not considered a Splinter. Theyalso appear in ''[[The Way of Kings]]'' and ''[[Elantris]]'' as well, but not ''[[Mistborn]]''.{{ref|?|699|8}}
 
It is not clear how Splinters are formed, though it appears a Shard must actively create one. Endowment seems to be able to form them at will for [[Returned]]. [[Odium]] traveled to Sel and Splintered [[Devotion]] and [[Dominion]].{{ref|a|The Letter}} Since [[Odium]] killed [[Tanavast]],{{ref|b|twok|c|75}} the holder of [[Honor]], it has been theorized that Honor is Splintered as well.
