=== Communication ===
Connection can be used in many ways to allow the user to speak the language of another person they are Connecting with.{{book ref|mb6|22}}{{book ref|sa3|65}}{{book ref|mb7|39}}. This can be done without the user learning any of the language beforehand. The ability has flaws though, as it will fill in local idioms and phrases on its own, but if the user is careless and focuses on a specific word or phrase the ability may fail and they will say the word verbatim in their own tongue{{wob ref|3759}} or it may be said in an odd way.{{wob ref|3583}} This includes slip-ups that confuse others,{{wob ref|8185}} such as saying coin{{book ref|sa2|epilogue}} or bunny{{book ref|sa2|59}} on [[Roshar]]. Blanking [[Identity]] and tapping Connection can cause someone to gain an accent for a particular area.{{wob ref|2558}}
 
'''Feruchemical Duralumin''': In [[Feruchemy]], Connection is stored in [[duralumin]].{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} Using this, a Feruchemist can communicate with others on foreign lands.{{book ref|mb6|22}} Connection can also be used by anyone by wearing [[unsealed metalminds]].{{wob ref|2112}} These medallions are worn by a person who is in a land that is not their own, and they are then able to speak the language of the place they are in. A person wearing their medallion in their own land will still speak their own language, not the language of the person they are communicating with. Occasionally, words do not translate fully.
