Steel Shards are gained through the Call of Steel skill, which causes all nearby Impaled enemies to release their Impale spikes and deals damage around them. If there are no Impaled enemies nearby, Call of Steel will create Steel Shards over time. Every Steel skill grants Call of Steel as well. You can have up to 12 Steel Shards at a time.
