Connection uses [[spiritweb]]s, and connects them in the [[Spiritual Realm]]. Connection is thought to be part of the spiritual aspect of a being. Additionally, it is possible to alter connection through artificial means,{{msh ref|5|2}} though the particulars of how this is accomplished are unknown. Connection can be inherited.{{wob ref|11881}} People are generally Connected to certain locations, and can be Connected to more than one place at a time.{{wob ref|642}}  [[Cognitive Shadow]]s, and in certain instances [[Shard]]s, can get tied to an area or [[ShardworldCosmere#Planets|planet]] in the cosmere, due to their Connection to the location.{{wob ref|2688}}

The closer the Connection between a human and a Shard, the more powerful the human becomes. How a person becomes Connected to a Shard varies between Shardworldsplanets. It is assumed that the intent of the respective Shard influences these conditions. On [[Scadrial]] Connection to a Shard is determined by genetics. On Sel it will depend on a person's location and their Connection to the land, and on Roshar it has to do with a person's actions and how they live their life.{{wob ref|7256}}
