It turned out that, though the power of a Shard required a mind to control it, the specific [[intent]] of the Shard would slowly warp the mind of those that hold it.{{epigraph ref|sa1|18}}{{qa ref|944|8|Remember that holding a shard changes you, over time|date=March 2013}} It is not known whether the holders of the Shards knew this would be the case initially. Eventually, the people who took up the Shards would simply be referred to as their Shard's name, and referred to as Shards.

This would trap Ruin's mind, making him mostly impotent.{{epigraph ref|mb3|55}} However, it cost almost all of Preservation's mind. Preservation knew that the moment he did this attack, he would not be able to help life on Scadrial. Preservation saw the future, creating the [[Terris Prophecies]], to give hope to humanity, and to let humanity know that he had a plan in mind.{{annotation ref|mb3|chapter=81}} He also altered [[Allomancy]] so that there would be [[atium]] (and [[malatium]]) Mistings,{{cite}} and set up his power--the mists--to Snap those Allomancers.{{
