In addition to having ordinary mass and energy, the cosmere also has a magical power known as [[Investiture]]. Investiture is closely tied to the Spiritual Realm,{{wob ref|5610}}{{wob ref|3413}} which holds a vast reserve of Investiture,{{wob ref|7079}} but ultimately transcends the divisions between the three Realms.{{wob ref|5610}} Over time, Investiture will cycle between the Realms,{{wob ref|7079}}{{wob ref|11041}} but ultimately returns to the Spiritual Realm.{{wob ref|397}}{{book ref|mb6|28}}
 
Investiture follows many of the same laws of physics that ordinary mass and energy do. Just as [[wikipedia:mass–energy equivalence|mass and energy can be converted to each other]], so to can Investiture be converted to mass or energy, and vice versa.{{wob ref|4765}}{{wob ref|3544}} Once this equivalence is accounted for, the cosmere adheres to the [[wikipedia:laws of thermodynamics|laws of thermodynamics]],{{wob ref|3544}}{{wob ref|1649}}{{wob ref|5093}} though there is an additional fourth law that relates to [[Adonalsium]].{{wob ref|3544}} Like matter and energy, high concentrations of Investiture [[wikipedia:general relativity|curvescurve space]], but it primarily affects the geometry of the Realms and brings them closer together rather than creating ordinary gravitational effects. At a certain point, this effect will cause a [[perpendicularity]] to form.{{wob ref|8920}} Similarly, high concentrations of Investiture also cause [[wikipedia:time dilation|time dilation]],{{wob ref|13425}} though it appears that far higher concentrations than those usually found in perpendicularities are needed for this effect to become noticeable.{{book ref|sa3|119}}{{book ref|mb2|58}} Investiture is [[wikipedia:quantization (physics)|quantized]] and has [[wikipedia:force carrier|force carriers]], though they act "very oddly."{{wob ref|3413}} Investiture also has a property that associates with specific Shards, though it is also still linked to Adonalsium.{{wob ref|8605}}{{wob ref|93853637}}
