A Skill Shard (White Shard) is a type of Shard in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Skill Shards are colored white.
Description[]
Skill Shards take effect immediately upon being obtained by Miriam, although they can be toggled ON or OFF from the "Skills" section of the Shard equipment menu. All Skill Shards that Miriam currently possesses count as being equipped, so there is no need to choose between them.
Skill Shards don't consume any MP when active/activated.
Passive Shards that reach Rank 9 will grant the player a Skill Shard with the same effect at half their power. It is possible for a Passive Shard to stack with its Skill Shard equivalent.

Notes[]
- Skill Shards can neither be sold nor can they be disposed of in any way, meaning it is mandatory to keep them for the rest of the game.
- Due to the extended reachability options these Shards usually grant the player, most of the Skill Shards that are not the evolved form of a Passive Shard (such as High Jump, Invert and Deep Sinker) aren't carried onto New Game Plus in order to prevent the player from breaking the intended sequence of the game.
