[[Awakening]] is the process by which an Awakener uses their stored BioChromatic Breath to animate an object. To do so, they issue a [[Command]] in their native tongue while visualizing the action they want the object to complete. The Commands are the key part of Awakening, and the skill of an Awakener depends on their ability to use Commands correctly.
The process causes some portion of the Awakener's stored Breath to exit their body and become Invested in the Awakened object. Depending on the object, it may require any where from one to one thousand (or more) Breaths. Furthermore, color is drained from nearby objects as fuel for the Awakening process. This can manifest, for example, as a red scarf being bleached grey. Though the color drain is permanent, this magic is still considered end-neutral since the Breaths can be recovered from the Awakened object (in most cases).{{wob ref|
While anyone can benefit from possessing a Breath, a non-Nalthian possessor would 'probably have to jump through some hoops to Awaken' with it.{{wob ref|2877}}
