If they're smaller:
Being in close proximity will make one feel uneasy
Living near will corrupt one over a period of a few days
Living near one too long will allow the shard to take partial control. One will still have conscious thoughts, but they will not come easy. The control can be fought off, with enough willpower.
Touching one will allow the shard to take a bit more control. Any coherent thought will be purely by chance, and it's much harder to fight off.
If they're larger:
The power can usually be felt from longer distances away. Some of the large shards are able to contain their power, however, and remain almost unnoticed.
Living around one will corrupt completely after a shorter amount of time.
Living around one too long will allow the shard to take partial control and direct one's thoughts.
Touching one will allow the shard to take total control. One will be aware of what's happening, but have no control over their own body. The shard can search through memories, thoughts, etc. and will often go about impersonating the one it controls. Removing the shard from the victim is often the only way to lessen the control; even so, the shard's thoughts will still remain, and it would take at least three days to rid one of its presence.
If one holds a shard for any extended period of time, they begin to be influenced by it. If freed, they will often go about as if the shard is still with them. After a few days, it becomes almost an addiction. One will not want to get rid of the shard, and go to any means to keep it.
Every shard is a piece of the Whole, and each one is seeking to reunite with the rest.
Each shard has a sense of self, though the smaller ones are unable to show more than brief ideas and strong emotions.
Larger shards have strong personalities, and even genders. When controlling someone, they are able to have entire conversations with them. They can be cruel, sadistic, or even endearing. Many of the larger shards don't have to control one for long. Those that have enough personality may even have names. They can easily convince one of their ideas, and will often move onto someone new as soon as they can.
