'''BioChromatic Breath''', also known simply as '''Breath''', is the common form of investiture on [[Nalthis]]. Every Nalthian is born with one Breath, though a person may choose to transfer that Breath to another person.{{book ref|wb|prologue}} It is possible for children of Nalthian parents with Breath born away from Nalthis to have their own Breath.{{wob ref|12603}} When a person dies, the Breath they were carrying returns to [[Endowment]].{{wob ref|8658}} Humans are able to use their Breath to perform [[Awakening]] as well as gaining benefits from having one or more Breaths.
===Type IV===
'''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 an example of this type of entity.
Nightblood is incapable of determining morality{{wob ref|3023}} and has a rigid way of thinking similar to a [[spren]] on Roshar.{{wob ref|7257}} The large number of Breaths
Stone is presumed to be similarly difficult to Awaken. However, Lifeless can be made by enclosing bones in stone, making near-indestructible warriors. [[Talaxin]] used this technique to create the legendary [[Kalad's Phantoms]].
