Conexión

Connection is an ability within the Cosmere that allows a closer relationship between two parties.

Metalic arts

In Feruchemy, Connection is stored in Duralumin. Storing Connection lessens others' trust in and awareness of the Feruchemist, while tapping Connection allows the Feruchemist to form trusting relationships quickly. It can also be used for communication.

It is unknown whether Connection can be accessed by Allomancy or Hemalurgy.

The Nature of Connection

Connection uses spiritwebs, and connects them in the spiritual realm. Connection is thought to be part of the spiritual aspect of a being, and has an influence on who can or cannot ascend as the holder of a certain shard. Additionally, it is possible to alter connection through artificial means other than Feruchemy (such as the device designed by the Ire), though the particulars of how this is accomplished are unknown.

Intent of Use

Connection can allow communication between two parties that would otherwise be difficult or impossible. Examples include people speaking a different language or existing in different realms.

Medallions

Connection can be accessed by wearing unsealed metalminds. These medallions are worn by a person who is in a land that is not their own, and they are then able to speak the language of the place they are in. A person wearing their medallion in their own land will still speak their own language, not the language of the person they are communicating with. Occasionally, words do not translate fully.

Ascension

Connection to a shard is required to ascend. Improper connection decreases the vessel's ability to control the powers and weakens the vessel's power. Connection to the paired opposite of a shard makes it difficult to maintain ascension.
