'''Sand mastery''' is a manifestation of [[Investiture]] on the Dayside of [[Taldain]], where the [[Diem]] recruits and trains sand masters. It involves manipulation of white sand at the cost of the user's internal water supply. In addition, white sand that has been manipulated will turn black, becoming unresponsive. Black sand turns white again after four hours of [[Taldain System|sun]] exposure.{{book ref|ws1|1}}
