Having directly created [[Scadrial]] along with Ruin, Preservation has vast amount of control over the planet. A person holding the Shard's power can rearrange continents, recreate extinct forms of life, and even move the planet within the solar system, permanently changing its orbit. Additionally, Preservation is Invested in every Scadrian, and can alter the way their bodies function.{{book ref|mb3|82}}{{wob ref|8025}} Direct killing is, however, directly against its Intent and thus extremely difficult bordering on impossible.{{msh ref|2|4}}
Preservation is able to hear the voice of any living Scadrian, but cannot speak to them; full two-way communication is only possible through the use of both it and [[Ruin]].{{book ref|mb3|10}} It can manifest a body in Scadrial's [[Cognitive Realm]], which both [[Leras]] and [[Sazed]] use to speak with the recently-deceased before they pass on
== History ==
Ultimately, Vin and [[Elend]] found themselves at the Well of Ascension, where, unseen to them, Kelsier's spirit had just learned of the danger in releasing the power. In a last bid to stop Vin from freeing Ruin, Kelsier grabbed Leras by the arm and forced him to slash [[Elend]], dealing him a deadly stomach wound. However, this was for naught, as Vin elected to release the power anyway out of a sense of duty. To prevent Elend's death, Leras led Vin to the last remaining bead of [[lerasium]], making him a Mistborn.{{msh ref|2|3}}
