'''BioChromatic Breath''', also known simply as '''Breath''', is the power of life on [[Nalthis]].

==BioChroma and Awakening==
==Types of BioChromatic entities==
===Type I===
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|b|wb|c|55}} but giving away the divine Breath results in death.
 
The '''divine Breath''', a single powerful Breath that grants the powers of the first five Heightenings, is a [[Splinter]] of [[Endowment]].{{qa ref|680|13|If a returned gives away his/her breath they die right?}} Giving away the divine Breath to another person will instantly heal that person, at the cost of the life of the Returned.{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=12}}
Type III objects can take a great deal of Breaths, often over one hundred, to create. However, since the object being Awakened is far from being alive, the Breath can be recovered afterwards. For this reason, much more is known about the Commands to Awaken Type III entities.
 
Someone who has reached the Ninth Heightening is able to Awaken things like stone or steel, which were never alive.{{book ref|b|wb|c|51}} Such Awakenings require enormous amounts of Breath.{{book ref|b|wb|part=ars}}
