Revision as of 20:27, 18 April 2019

I started reading Brandon's works in 2015 and have been following the community on and off since then. Finally decided to start contributing here in 2019. I'm new to editing wikis, so I'm mostly going to be using this for figuring that out.


Current Projects

  • Queen Tsa: Finished writing article; I have an ebook of Oathbringer coming in a few weeks, and I'll search that to make sure I'm not missing anything when it comes in.
  • Gran-Gran (Becca Nightshade): Marked article as complete. I'd like feedback, since that's my first complete article.
  • Ironsides (Admiral Judy Ivans): Just claimed. I'd like to get Gran-Gran marked as complete and get some feedback on that article before starting on this one, if possible.
  • Cognitive Shadow: Noticed this on the urgent list and thought I'd put some work into it. Just wrote Examples section.


Cognitive Shadows Work

A force of mind, holding his spirit together, preventing it from diffusing.

Kelsier's recollection of Preservation's description of a Cognitive Shadow[1]

Cognitive Shadow is term used by Brandon to refer to a spirit that has not yet moved into the afterlife.[2] While the manifestations of this kind of entity can vary depending on the world it occurs on, Cognitive Shadows can occur on any planet of the Cosmere. In general, they are similar to the concept of ghosts on Earth.

Mechanics

Cognitive Shadows can be created by a variety of processes. Some of them are created when a person has sufficient attachment to something in the Physical Realm. When a Vessel that has held onto a Shard for a long time dies it becomes a Cognitive Shadow that can continue to act.[3] The Cognitive aspect of a recently deceased person can become a Cognitive Shadow by finding a source of Investiture to anchor themselves to the Cognitive Realm before passing on to the Beyond. The Investiture replaces the parts of the soul that connects it to the Three Realms, providing an anchor for it in the Cognitive Realm. [4] Some Vessels can prepare a Cognitive Shadow at or just prior to their death or Splintering, allowing a portion of their power to continue to function with a small amount of direction; the Stormfather is an example of this.[5]

Admiral Judy Ivans (Callsign: Ironsides) is the leader of the DDF.[1] She is a First Citizen, and fought in the Battle of Alta. She is notable for initially not allowing Spensa to train in the Battle School[citation needed]. She strongly believes that the brain condition that seems to cause Cytonic ability should prevent people from joining the DDF.[citation needed]
