'''Sand mastery''' is a manifestation of [[Investiture]] on the Dayside of [[Taldain]], where the [[Diem]] recruits and trains sand masters. It involves manipulation of white sand at the cost of the user's internal water supply. In addition, white sand that has been manipulated will turn black, becoming unresponsive. Black sand turns white again after four hours of [[Taldain system|sun]] exposure.{{book ref|ws1|1}}

Most powerful sand masters are able to '''slatrify'''--to turn white sand into water. The skill is particularly valuable to sand masters as they need extra water for their mastery. In addition, some dangerous Dayside creatures, such as [[sandling]]s, have terken shells that can be dissolved by water.{{book ref|ws1|1}}
