| − | '''Commands''' are the [[focus]] for [[Awakening]].{{wob ref|6799}} A command must be clearly spoken in the Awakener's native language and clearly visualized in their mind to function. Incomplete or mumbled Commands will take Breath but create no effect.{{book ref|wb|prologue}} Sometimes Awakeners will intentionally do this or use Commands designed to have no effect to store their [[Breath]]s in an object.{{book ref|wb|49}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | The most basic Commands are "''My life to yours, my Breath become yours''" and "''Your Breath to mine''," which respectively allow Breath to be given to another person and retrieved from an Awakened object you created.{{book ref|wb|10}}{{book ref|wb|prologue}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | Commands tend to be simple phrases, such as "hold things" or "grab things."{{book ref|wb|33}} More complex phrases, however, can still work for experienced Awakeners, as the visualization is the most important part of the Command.{{book ref|wb|49}} Examples of more complex Commands include "upon call, become my fingers and grip."{{book ref|wb|21}} The length of a phrase is not always indicative of its complexity; one of the most complex known Commands is the simple phrase "fetch keys."{{wob ref|6019}} |

| − | [[Vasher]] claims to know Commands that can erase a person's memories, and he even appears to use them once. It is unclear how these Commands work, as all known Awakening invests a lifeless object or corpse, but it appears that they can only be used on oneself, as Vasher offers to teach them to [[Denth]] rather than using themself, and appears to teach them to [[Nanrovah]]'s daughter after rescuing her from captivity.{{book ref|wb|49}}{{book ref|wb|57}} |

| − | The Command given to [[Lifeless]] at creation provides for the giving of additional Commands without consuming extra Breath.{{book ref|wb|21}} The Command given to [[BioChromatic_Breath#Types_of_BioChromatic_entities|Type Four Biochromatic entities]], such as [[Nightblood]], takes on nuance and incredible power, becoming the core personality of the object.{{book ref|wb|51}} |

| − | == Heightenings == |
||
| − | According to the [[Ars Arcanum]], at the Sixth [[Heightening]], Awakeners can use basic Commands instinctively and learn to use new Commands much more easily. At the Eighth Heightening, Awakeners can override others' Commands, though this is exhausting. Awakeners of the Ninth Heightening can Awaken stone and metal with specialized Commands, and can Awaken without touching the object they are Awakening. Vasher comments at one point that Awakeners at the Tenth Heightening can Command without speaking, though it takes a lot of training{{book ref|wb|58}}. |

| − | == Trivia == |
||
| − | * In the ''[[Warbreaker]]'' [[wikipedia:GraphicAudio|GraphicAudio]], Vasher uses the Command "''My Breath to give for life to live''" (instead of the usual Breath transfer Command, "''My life to yours, my Breath become yours''") to avoid accidentally giving away his [[BioChromatic Breath#Type I|divine Breath]]. [[Brandon Sanderson|Brandon]] believes GraphicAudio got that from his team and that it is the canonical version of the Command, but was unsure and said he would have the check with [[Isaac Stewart]] and [[Peter Ahlstrom]].{{wob ref|5845}} |
