'''BioChromatic Breath''', also known simply as '''Breath''', is the power of life on [[Nalthis]]. Every living being is born with a certain BioChromatic Investiture.{{book ref|wb|46}}{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=46}} Humans are able to use their Breath to perform [[Awakening]] as well as gaining benefits from having more than one Breath.

 

[[Awakening]] is the process by which an Awakener uses his stored BioChromatic Breath to animate an object. To do so, he issues a [[Command]] in his native tongue while visualizing the action he wants the object to complete. The Commands are the key part of Awakening, and the skill of an Awakener depends on his ability to use Commands correctly.

 

While anyone can benefit from possessing a Breath, a non-Nalthian possessor would 'probably have to jump through some hoops to Awaken' with it.{{17s ref|6815|post|115245|text=Dayton Signing, Mar 19, 2014}}

 

Spontaneous Sentient BioChromatic Manifestations in a Deceased Host, also known as the [[Returned]], are the only known natural BioChromatic entity. They retain sentience after being Returned (by [[Endowment]]) following death, and are endowed with a divine Breath. Returned are able to Awaken normally using any Breaths on top of their divine Breath,{{book ref|wb|55}} but giving away the divine Breath results in death.
