'''Commands''' are the [[focus]] for [[Awakening]].{{wob ref|6799}} The Commands used in Awakening are crucial to its success or failure. They must be clearly stated, properly visualized, spoken in a crisp and clear voice without mumbling or slurring{{book ref|wb|20}}, and said in the Awakener's native language.{{book ref|wb|46}} If there is strong enough Connection to another language, their native language would not need to be used.{{wob ref|2699}} Awakening can be performed with sign language.{{wob ref|14720}}
Many Commands are simple, concrete ideas expressed in phrases of two words or less in the imperative mood, usually consisting of a specific verb and a general subject (e.g. "Grab things"). While more complex Commands can be used, the more complex the Command the more difficult the visualization of the Command becomes. Advanced Commands tend to be jealously guarded by Awakeners.{{book ref|wb|46
In Awakening, the exact wording of the Command is important. An Awakener could, for example, give a piece of rope the Command "Hold things" so it will wrap itself around objects, but this will likely result in the rope simply wrapping itself around the Awakener's hand. The Command "Hold things when thrown" is more useful and only slightly more complex.{{book ref|wb|46}}
