A Sliver is a human intelligence who has held all or a very large portion of the power of a Shard and has since released it.[1][2] There is a certain threshold of power where one would be considered a Sliver of Adonalsium. Every person on Scadrial has a bit of the power of Preservation, but they are not technically Slivers. Though there is some grey area in what it means to be a Sliver, individuals who have directly held the power of a Shard are usually termed Slivers. Elend who it a full lerasium Mistborn is not a Sliver, but is starting to get close.[3]
Requirements
- All Slivers by definition must be a human first. Non human entities like Spren can not become Slivers.[2]
- A human must hold a large portion portion of a Shard, a single bead of lerasium is not enough.[3] Touching the Well of Ascension but not holding and using its power will not change a human into a Sliver.[citation needed]
- Slivers must have used up that power or released it.
Qualities of a Sliver
Being a Sliver changes a person, there is a residue left behind in a person.[3] This residue has many effects, one of which is that a person who is capable of noticing Investiture would be able to look at someone and tell that they are a Sliver.[4] Holding a large portion of a Shard is similar to inflating a balloon.[5] It is unknown what affects this expansion of their mind and spirit ultimately has on a person. A Sliver knows it is a Sliver this most likely has to do with the expanded consensus gained from holding the Shard.[citation needed][clarification needed]
Known sources of power to become a Sliver
- Holding any Shard for any amount of time.
- The Well of Ascension
Known Slivers
- Kelsier held Preservation after his and Leras's death until Vin picked up the Shard[3]
- Rashek used the Well of Ascension[3]
- Vin is a Sliver of Preservation on account of holding Preservation briefly. She was not a Sliver after using the Well of Ascension.[3]
