== Awakening Commands ==
The Commands used in Awakening are crucial to its success or failure. They must be clearly stated and properly visualized. 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 [[Awakener]]s.
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.
