There are places that use Awakened objects as a source of energy and industry.{{qa ref|590|34}}
 
== BioChromatic Hosthosts ==
 
An Awakened object acts as a host for the BioChromatic Breath Awakening it. Some types of objects more readily accept Breaths than others, making them easier to Awaken. This depends on the object's shape, its history, and the material it is made of. Generally, Awakening inorganic objects made of metal or stone is very difficult, requiring extremely large amounts of Breath. Organic objects, especially those shaped like living things, are much easier to Awaken.
This is one possible Command to create [[Lifeless]], and it uses only one Breath. The ability to create Lifeless with just a single Breath is a discovery that eventually led to the Lifeless armies of the [[Manywar]].
 
=== Metal and Stonestone ===
 
'''Type IV BioChromatic entities''' are sentient objects made by Awakening inorganic materials like metal and stone. This requires at least the [[Heightening#Ninth_Heightening|Ninth Heightening]]. [[Nightblood]], a sentient Awakened sword, is the only known object of this type. He was created by [[Shashara]] with the help of her husband [[Talaxin]], using a thousand Breaths and the Command "Destroy evil".
 
These creatures have no way to determine morality{{qa ref|1038|23}} and have a rigid way of thinking similar to a [[Spren]] on Roshar.{{qa ref|608|16}} The possibilitythreat of more weapons like Nightblood being created eventually caused Talaxin to kill Shashara to prevent the knowledge of this form of Awakening from becoming public.
