'''Investiture''' is a term describing the energy that infuses the [[Cosmere]] and on which all [[Cosmere]] magicMagic systems are based.

The term '''Investiture'''{{qa ref|977|5}} has only seen in-world use by the [[Seventeenth Shard]] and [[spren]]. Most who refer to investiture use magic-specific terminology; Feruchemists refer to the process of investing a [[metalmindMetalmind]]s as 'charging', and [[Windrunner]]s refer to the process by which they create [[Lashing]]s as 'infusing'.{{qa ref|691|18}}

Investiture transcends the three realms Physical, Cognitive, and Spiritual that consist of most of the Cosmere. In the Physical Realm Investiture is known to exist in solid, (ie Atium and Lerasium), liquid (Shardpools), and gaseous physical forms (Preservation's Mists, Stormlight, BioChromatic Breath). Most often these appear due to influence by a [[Shard]] Holderholder, however some formations formoccur in a more Naturalnatural way. Investiture Worksworks in a Similarsimilar fashion to energy in that it Followsfollows its own laws of thermodinamicsthermodynamics. At this time thereIt is nonot known waypossible to destroy Investiture it can only be redistributed.{{qa ref|1116|3}}

Lots of ways to access Investiture exist. Most often Access to investiture is a function of a [[Shard]]s Influence with the planet that they are located on. Investiture can be directly given by a Shard to fuel magic (Preservation's Mists). Some shards will innately imbue people living on a planet With Investiture (i.e. Scadrian potential for Allomancy and Feruchemy, the initial BioChromatic Breath). Some Methods require an external force to influece a persons Spirit web or SDNA before use of investiture is possible. Things like a Nahel Bond, Hemalurgy, and Forgery alters a persons SDNA without direct influence by a shard. Some Systems of magic like Classic [[Allomancy]] required snapping of a person through extreme mental or physical trauma. Some systems of magic are accessible through a mechanical means like Rosharan [[FabrialsFabrial]]s though this may not truely be mechanical in nature due to the use of [[Spren]] in their construction.

'''Honorblades''': Do not bond with humans in the way that Shard blades do.{{citeqa ref|1086|26}}

'''Sentient Awakened Entities in an Inorganic Host''': Only known entity of this kind is [[Nightblood]]. [[Nightblood]] is a sentient sword made using 1000 breath and the command to destroy evil. It makes a bond with anyone with whom, it wishes to communicate, and it is able to read and speak with minds directly. {{qa ref|1037|8}} Distance appears to be a factor, but this may be a limitation of the mind of [[Nightblood]] and not its ability. [[Nightblood]], while idle, reaches out to other people ether repulsing them with great nausea, even inducing vomiting if they attempt to draw the blade, or creating a desire to use the blade. Anyone who is able to wield [[Nightblood]] and survive, Bonds with the blade to a greater degree and is no longer repelled by or abnormally drawn to use it.{{annotationwob ref|wb|chapter=457404}} Those unable to control [[Nightblood]] are controlled by it, in effect [[Nightblood]] wields them killing everyone around and absorbing all of the [[Investiture]] from the victim including the spark of life(i.e. the soul).This bond may grant additional powers on Roshar.{{qa ref|1076|34}}

Generally, humans are not Invested. However, on some worlds, a Shard has invested humans. For example, [[Preservation]] gave part of his power to humans to make them sentient. On [[Nalthis]], people are born with [[Breath]]. Both cases are known as '''Innate Investiture'''.{{qa ref|977|5}} All people have some Investiture and this can be known as the Spark of life, this does not truly count as innate Investiture.{{qa ref|1076|27}} For example On [[Nalthis]] every person is born with a breath and have innate Investiture how ever a person who has given up his breath is no longer innately invested while still maintaining his Spark of Life.

* any Awakened object. [[Nightblood]], as a Type IV Biochromatic Entity, is an extreme case.

Invested objects are harder to affect with any magic system, the more Investiture the more difficult to affect.{{qa ref|715|1}}{{qa ref|979|51}}Once an object has been invested it is very hard to invest it with a different kind of investiture as well.{{qa ref|1034|28}} Sometimes when an object in one of the Realms has a large amount of Investiture it can gain sentience.(see [[Spren]] and [[Nightblood]])
