'''Awakening''' is a manifestation of [[Investiture]] on [[Nalthis]]. It is the art of combining color, [[BioChromatic Breath]] ('''"Breath"'''), and an Awakening [[Command]] in order to animate an object, resulting in one of four types of [[BioChromatic_Breath#Types_of_BioChromatic_entities|BioChromatic entities]]. It was discovered approximately 400 years before the [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]].{{book ref|wb|32}} It has also become a generic term for the concept of using Investiture and Commands to grant objects sentience, regardless of the source of Investiture used, though Breath is still one of the main methods used.{{wob ref|16178}}
The process of Awakening begins when an Awakener releases some of their stored Breath into an object through the use of a Command. While doing so, the Awakener must also be in physical contact with a source of color (e.g. a piece of dyed cloth). If the Command is valid and is correctly visualized in the Awakener's mind, then color is drained from the color source and the target object becomes '''Awakened'''. It then proceeds to carry out the Command. If the command is invalid or not visualized properly, the object can still be Awakened but will have no effect.{{book ref|wb|35}}

The [[father machine]] and its prototype, created by scholars on [[Komashi]] to extract [[hion]] from the [[hijo]], was described by [[Hoid]] as having been Awakened with Commands.{{book ref|yumi|39}}
