We do also know a bit about the abilities shared amongst by Dawnshards so I also slotted this info into Mechanics to link up with the Heightening-esque powers that Rysn gets in Dawnshard.) |

That being said, Dawnshards do confer a certain amount of Investiture on the person that holds them.{{wob ref|14328}} Each Dawnshard grants both distinct abilities{{wob ref|15961}} and shared Heightening-like attributes,{{wob ref|14339}} such as an increased depth in color and sound perception.{{book ref|dawnshard|epilogue}} These Heightening-like effects can be achieved using any Dawnshard and are granted because they are great concentrations of Investiture, and not from having any specific connection to Endowment.{{wob ref|14328}} In the same way Savants are changed by power over time, the person that is a Dawnshard is also increasingly changed by its power,{{wob ref|14346}} although it is not certain if these changes depend on which Dawnshard is possessed.
Dawnshards are able and willing to protect themselves and their users from certain dangers, such as [[Hemalurgy]].{{wob ref|15937}}
It is uncertain whether the specific Commands of Dawnshards have any bearing over the Intents of the Shards that they created,{{wob ref|14322}} or how they were may have been changed by the [[Shattering]].{{wob ref|10439}}
