These categories don't always apply well to other Invested Arts because of differences in how the system is defined when analyzing the net gain or loss of Investiture. Awakening is also considered end-neutral, even though color is lost.{{wob ref|6738}} If defining the system as a single practitioner, Awakening could appear to be either end-positive or end-negative depending on whether they give or receive [[Breath]]s.{{wob ref|171}} However, the same number of Breaths will exist across all Awakeners, and Breath is what fuels the magic, therefore it is considered end-neutral.{{wob ref|3872}}{{wob ref|6738}} [[Surgebinding]] is a magic system whose classification is debatable by arcanists. Surgebinders typically use Investiture that already exists in the system in the form of [[spheres]] to power their magic. Functionally, however, putting Investiture in a sphere merely causes a time delay between adding it to the system and using it to fuel powers, as seen when [[Knights Radiant|Radiants]] pull Investiture directly from the [[highstorm]] or [[Honor's Perpendicularity]] to fuel abilities. As such, most arcanists accept end-positive as the proper Surgebinding classification.{{wob ref|3859}}

 

 

Many of the powers exhibited in the cosmere are a natural part of the cosmere's physics. As a result, powers often have similar effects across different planets despite a Shard influencing how the power is administered and accessed.{{wob ref|15703}} As people in the cosmere become more aware of other planets and magic systems, they start to use the same terminology to describe similar magics from different sources. The follow describes some of the commonly seen magics and the principals that guide them despite the source.
