== Manifestations of Investiture ==
Investiture is relatively commonplace on Canticle. The sunlight is Invested, and the planet's core is also densely Invested.{{book ref|tsm|34}}{{book ref|tsm|45}} The core tries to feed on any Investiture it can, but generally can't take it from people.{{book ref|tsm|34}} When people are placed between the sunlight and the planetary core, the sunlight burns the bodies into [[sunhearts]], while the InvestureInvestiture from their bodies is "carried" along with the sun's Investure to the core. The sunhearts are then charged with excess InvestureInvestiture produced by the process of Invested joule heating.{{cite}}
 
A lot of technology, including the floating cities, is powered by sunhearts. These Invested 'hearts' are made by people who perished in the Invested sunlight while in the direct path between the sun and the planet. Sunhearts can be recharged.{{book ref|tsm|45}} Recently the [[Cinder King]] was taught how to use the local investiture to make [[Charred]] by Scadrian researchers on the planet.{{book ref|tsm|45}}
