== Transportation ==
When a person dies, their mind is transported to the [[Cognitive Realm]], though they are not always visible to other people in the Cognitive Realm.{{wob ref|11427}} For most people, this is nothing more than an "in between" step, as their mind is soon pulled into the Beyond.{{msh ref|1|1}} When they go to the Beyond, they appear to stretch toward an unseen, distant point that defies geometry that has also been described as "nothingness" and "eternity."{{msh ref|6|8}}{{msh ref|1|2}}{{msh ref|6|2}} People on [[Scadrial]] appear to turn into white mist as they stretch.{{msh ref|1|1}} Before someone moves on to the Beyond, their Cognitive aspect can be returned to their physical body with the proper [[Investiture]].{{wob ref|5888}}{{book ref|mb6|28}}{{book ref|sa2|88}}{{book ref|sa2.5|8}} Being killed by an unsheathed [[Nightblood]] can prevent that from happening,{{wob ref|10440}} though it is unclear if it also prevents a person's mind from going to the Beyond.{{wob ref|5074}}
[[Allomancy|Allomancers]], [[Feruchemy|Feruchemists]], and people who had a [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgic]] spike in life can remain in the Cognitive Realm longer before being pulled to the Beyond, while those where were the victim of a Hemalurgic spiking cannot remain as long.{{msh ref|1|1}}{{wob ref|1528}} [[Silver]]s can resist the pull of the Beyond indefinitely, though they can still choose to go and still feel the pull of the Beyond when seriously wounded.{{wob ref|3841}}{{msh ref|6|8}} From this, it is possible to infer that the amount of [[Investiture]] a person has or had in life determines the length of time for which they can resist the pull of the Beyond.{{wob ref|11427}}
* The [[Spiritual Realm]] is not the same as the Beyond, however Shards do not know this instinctively, and some have a better understanding of it than others.{{wob ref|1729}}
* Ruin claims that [[Mare]] "longed for Kelsier to join her in the Beyond," but it seems likely that he was simply lying to manipulate Kelsier and does not actually have knowledge of what occurs in the Beyond.{{msh ref|4|4}}
* If someone uses [[Forgery]] on themselves to die, their soul will not come back from the Beyond when the seal breaks.{{wob ref|1601}}
