In most cases, the color of living things cannot be used for Awakening. This is because the living soul interferes with the Awakening process. The color of things taken from living things, on the other hand, may be used.{{qa ref|982|1}} An Awakener can, for example, use spilled blood as a color source.{{book ref|wb|46}}
 
If the colored object is small or the color drab, the Command will take much more Breath.{{book ref|wb|5646}}
 
== Awakening Commands ==
An Awakener can retrieve the Breath from an object they Awakened by touching the object and speaking the Command ''"Your Breath to mine."''{{book ref|wb|prologue}}
 
Note that only the Awakener who Awakened the object can retrieve Breath from it, though it is possible to Awakenen an object so others can access the Breath.{{wob ref|461}} This Command also does not work on anything that the Breath has stuck to too strongly (e.g. corpses). A person who has put their BreathBreaths into an object and died can retrieve them if they have Returned, but not if they are made into a Lifeless.{{wob ref|3594}} There are also tricks an Awakener can do to use other peoples Breaths or Awaken an object so that others could access its Breaths.{{wob ref|461}}
 
=== Simple Commands ===
Generally, Awakening inorganic objects that have never been part of a living thing is very difficult, requiring extremely large amounts of Breath. Organic objects, especially those shaped like living things, are much easier to Awaken.{{book ref|wb|46}} It is unknown weather inorganic objects shaped like living things are easier to Awaken (for example, a bronze statue compared with a bronze sword).
 
On the other hand, closer proximity to a living form makes it harder to retrieve Breaths from an Awakened host.{{annotation ref|book=wb|chapter=33}} For example, one generally can no longer recover the Breaths one used on a corpse.{{book ref|wb|46}} If the host ifis cut or broken, it will not die, and will try to continue its purpose. The level of damage will determine how well it can continue. The Breaths are also recoverable, but there could be some loss of Breaths, depending on how the host is destroyed.{{wob ref|5957}}
