Awakening
Awakening is the art of giving the semblance of life to an inanimate object by infusing it with Breath.
An Awakener can release some of their stored Breath into an object at the same time giving the object a command. The awakener must also be in contact with a colored object which will be drained to gray in order to fuel the awakening in addition to the infused Breath. If the command is valid and correctly visualised then the object will attempt to carry it out. For example, an Awakener could give a piece of rope the command "Hold things" so that, when infused it will wrap itself around objects close to it.
The amount of Breath required to awaken something is related to the complexity of the command used to awaken it, to its resemblance to the human form and also to the materials in its construction.
Commands
The commands used in awakening are crucial to its success or failure. Generally they are simple, concrete ideas expressed in phrases of two words or less. While more complex commands can be used the more complex the command the more difficult the visualization of the command becomes.
