Trying to drum up discussion as others have mentioned. Full spoilers.

Which of the 16 Shards of Adonalsium would you pick, had you been present at the shattering? Or be able to Connect to well enough to pick up? Would you try to modify its intent in any way, a la Harmony/Discord?

Working as an engineer, I've gotta go with Invention. We've seen so little of it but the name, but it's the only one of the 16 I've heard of that I think I could mesh well enough with.

I'm not sure what a modified Invention would look like, but I would try to take it down a wacky Rube Goldberg path. Everybody on the planet has to make pointless gadgets to help them take of their slippers at night kind of Invention.
