La Identidad es un atributo espiritual[1][2] dentro del Cosmere que distingue un ser de otro con respecto a la Investidura.[1] Actúa como una especie de ADN espiritual, y funciona junto con la Conexión para formar un vínculo entre varias formas de Investidura.
Mecánicas e interacciones
A lo largo del Cosmere, el uso de magia está ligado a la Identidad del usuario, y el poder almacenado por una persona es de difícil acceso para otra persona diferente (es posible, aunque extremadamente improbable, que dos personas tengan la misma Identidad por pura casualidad[3]). Esta restricción es la razón, por ejemplo, de que los alientos almacenados o las mentes de metal cargadas por una persona no puedan ser usados por ninguna otra.[1] Sin embargo si alguien "blanquea" su Identidad y almacena poder, este se vuelve más fácil de usar para otros (especialmente otras personas blanqueadas, aunque potencialmente también personas sin blanquear dependiendo del sistema de magia).[4]
Feruquimia
En la feruquimia, la Identidad se almacena en aluminio. Para usar aluminio de forma efectiva, uno debe tener acceso al menos a un metal aparte del aluminio. Al almacenar Identidad en aluminio y después llenar otra mente de metal, se crea una mente de metal "sin vínculo" que puede ser usada por cualquier feruquimista.[1] Un ejemplo lo podemos encontrar en Brazales de Duelo: Wax encuentra en brazalete de oro lleno de poder sanador que Wayne, un ferrin de oro, puede usar, pero Wax no.[5] Mediante un proceso que no ha sido revelado completamente, pero que crea mentes de metal "sin vínculo",[6] también es posible crear una mente de metal "liberada" de Investidura, que cualquiera podría usar para ganar acceso a poderes feruquímicos. Los medallones de los scadrianos del sur son un ejemplo de esto.[7][8]
En Nacidos de la bruma Era 2, los kandra y la comunidad terrisana han empezado a experimentar con Identidad y otros aspectos espirituales de la feruquímia, pero todavía entienden muy poco, debido a la rareza de los propios ferrins y los metales.[1]
Hemalurgia
In Hemalurgy, Identity can be stolen by a duralumin spike.[9]
Someone who has been granted Feruchemical abilities via Hemalurgy can access the metalminds of the Feruchemist whose abilities were stolen, presumably because they obtain some portion of the original person's Identity in the spike. If two people are spiked with spikes made from the same person, they will both be able to access the original person's metalminds, but not each other's, as their own Identity will interfere.[10]
More generally, Hemalurgy can overwrite anything attached to the soul, including Identity.[11][2]
Despertar
Like with Feruchemy, Breaths that have been put into an object are keyed to the original Awakener's Identity, and so can only be reclaimed by that Awakener.[12][4] However, when Breath is transferred directly from one person to another, the magic system automatically rekeys the Identity of the Breaths to that of the recipient, making Awakening the easiest of the magic systems to gain access to.[13] Breaths used by an Awakener who has blanked their Identity can be retrieved by anyone, though Intent is required.[14]
Falsificación
Storing Identity makes one more susceptible to being affected by many things in the cosmere, including Forgery.[15] When a human is soulstamped, the transformation lasts a relatively short period of time, and the best crafted stamps last approximately a day. This is due to the fact that the Identity of a person, as opposed to an object, is constantly growing, changing and shifting.[16]
Tejer Luz
There is a "pretty tenuous" link between Identity and the different personae that Shallan creates with Lightweaving.[17]
Formas de los cantores
Identity and Connection are involved with the singers ability to change forms.[18] If a singers Identity and Connection is stolen, they will change into slaveform.[19][18]
Vínculos
Forming a bond utilizes Identity and Connection in some manner. Lessening those attributes, such as by storing them in a metalmind, would affect the bond.[20]
Curación
Most healing in the cosmere works by using the three versions of the user's self; their Physical, Cognitive, and Spiritual version.[21][22] Healing typically heals the Physical version by matching it to their ideal Spiritual version, which is filtered through the lens of their minds (Cognitive version).[23] Almost all forms of healing in the cosmere are filtered through the perception of the user.[24][25] If a person hasn't accepted a wound as a part of themselves, they can still heal it regardless of how long they've had it.[26] However, even if a wound is recent, if the person has changed their mindset to see it as a part of themselves, they will not be able to heal from it.[27][28]
Curiosidades
- Blanking Identity and tapping Connection can cause someone to gain an accent for a particular area.[29]
