[[Stormlight]] (or an alternative source of [[Investiture]]) is needed{{book ref|WoK|70}} in order to control objects in Shadesmar, as well as for [[Soulcasting]]. Traveling there without sufficient Stormlight is considered to be perilous.

=== Environment ===
Geographically, Roshar in the [[Cognitive Realm]] appears like an inversion of the continent in the Physical Realm, with its inland seas corresponding exactly to the shape of the land of Roshar. The "seas" are made of tiny dark glass beads that represent objects that exist in the Physical Realm. These beads are bean-sized, or slightly larger than a fingernail.{{wob ref|8533}} There are spren that look like "little green and orange people, only a few inches tall" climbing around the spheres.{{book ref|sa3|89}} When asked if this is the general rule, Sanderson said "there are places in Shadesmar that are different, and some are the same."{{wob ref|7200}}
 
Black sky, and a strange white sun that hangs on the horizon in the far distance.{{book ref|sa1|45}} Clouds run towards the sun - combined with the sea of beads it gives the impression that the sun is at the end of a long tunnel{{book ref|sa1|48}}
The sky on Roshar's Shadesmar is black, with strange cloud formations and a small, cold sun. The land, which corresponds to bodies of water on the Physical Realm, appear to be made of obsidian. Trees made of crystal grow on this land.{{book ref|WoR|7}}

Land masses appear as lakes or oceans of glass beads. The beads represent "souls of objects." {{book ref|sa3|89}}

=== Accessing Shadesmar ===
 
==== Transformation ====
For a member of the [[Order of Lightweavers]] to be granted entrance to Shadesmar, the person must have spoken enough truths about themselves to their bonded Cryptic. In Shallan's case, the Cryptic she calls [[Pattern]] no longer required truths for her to enter Shadesmar{{book ref|WoR|7}} after she confessed her darkest secret.{{book ref|WoK|70}} Pattern helps Shallan Soulcast by acting as a translator between her and the objects represented by the glass beads.
By touching beads, those with the surge of Transformation are able to change the physical form of the object in the physical realm through Soulcasting.{{book ref|sa1|45}}
 
It may be possible for Soulcasters to appear in Shadesmar with a given bead in their hands if they are holding the corresponding object when they peak into the other realm.{{book ref|sa1|45}}
Another type of spren that give access to Shadesmar are [[Inkspren]]. They bond to [[Elsecaller]]s and follow the same structure of Oaths as the orders besides Lightweavers.
 
The [[ardent]]s in Roshar are aware of Shadesmar{{book ref|sa1|i|8}}, and have used fabrials that allow them to [[Soulcast]] objects through it. There are also people whose bond with certain types of [[spren]] grants them access to Shadesmar. One type of such a spren, called a [[Cryptic]], is described by [[Shallan]] as▼
It seems likely that at the least, [[Willshapers]] also have some direct connection to Shadesmar.
 
Shallan is able to take Memories in the physical that capture Cryptics in the Cognitive even when she is not actively looking into the other Realm.{{book ref|sa1|45}}

Both Orders can use the glass beads in Shadesmar to form various structures that can be used there. For example, [[Jasnah]] can create a raft out of Shadesmar beads that she could stand safely on.{{book ref|WoK|70}} While trapped in Shadesmar, Shallan uses this ability on several occasions. While attempting to use the [[Thaylen City]] [[Oathgate]], she makes a wall physically appear there, rather than just being made of beads. This is called manifesting, and is described as being dangerous by Captain [[Notum]].

something tugged on her leg, pulling her down. She screamed, slipping beneath the surface, tiny beads of glass filling her mouth.
