The Heightenings, while commonly thought of as discrete levels, are in fact merely markers of a continuous progression. Each [[Breath]] gathered increases an [[Awakener]]'s power. For example, although perfect color recognition is reached upon the Third Heightening, every additional Breath gathered before then will incrementally increase an Awakener's ability to distinguish between colors. Reaching a new level of Heightening merely marks the point at which these abilities reach their full potential. There are exceptions to this, like Color Distortion which is unique to the Tenth Heightening.
The number of Breaths needed to reach a particular Heightening is not exact. Achieving a given Heightening may require fewer or more Breaths, depending on circumstances and the strength of the Breaths which the Awakener has gathered.{{book ref|wb|part=ars}} Additionally, very little is known about the upper Heightenings as the only known people to have ever reached the Eighth Heightening or above are the [[Hallandren]] [[God King]]s, [[Vasher]], and [[Shashara]], so the abilities associated with those Heightenings may not be the full extent of their powers or may be incompletely understood.
By the time of the [[True Desolation]] on [[Roshar]], the term "Heightening" appears to have entered into broader parlance in the [[cosmere]], as the [[Elantrian]] [[Riino]] initially thought [[Kaladin]] had attained a Heightening, though Riino quickly realized that he was mistaken and that Kaladin is a [[Surgebinding|Surgebinder]].{{book ref|sa3|97}}
== First Heightening == ▼
The First Heightening grants Aura Recognition, the ability to see the Breath auras of others instinctively. This allows them to judge roughly how many Breaths the person holds and the general health of that Breath.{{book ref|wb|14}}
== Trivia ==
* The way having more Breaths makes a person experience the world around them more vividly is partially inspired by the similar effect achieved by channelers from the ''Wheel of Time''.{{wob ref|9251}}
