On the Cosmere worlds different terms are used to describe the application of magic, depending on its appearance.

=== End-negative Investiture ===
In the practice of an end-negative Investiture, some power is lost.{{ref|name=AoLArs}} It is negative in that it removes some power from someone. End-negative Investiture is very rare.{{ref|name=END}}
[[Hemalurgy]] is end-negative.
== Investiture of people ==

Under specific conditions, some humans are
The conditions required to getting invested with a bigger amount of power differ from [[Shardworld]] to Shardworld. It is assumed that the intent of the respective Shard influences these conditions.
A human with enough power can invest other people or themselves. A Surgebinder can Lash people to the ceiling or himself to a wall.
