Investiture can be divided into two categories: '''kinetic Investiture''' and '''static Investiture'''.{{book ref|sa4|89}} Kinetic Investiture refers to Investiture actively doing something. When Investiture is kinetic, it can often be detected by various methods, such as [[Allomancy|Allomantic]] [[bronze]] or [[sand (Taldain)|sand from the Dayside of Taldain]].{{wob ref|15308}}{{wob ref|9521}} Static Investiture refers to all Investiture not actively doing something, such as a [[Feruchemy|Feruchemical]] charge in a metalmind.{{wob ref|15308}}{{wob ref|247}}{{book ref|mb5|12}} At least some forms of static Investiture, including [[Lights]] not actively powering anything, can also be detected by [[Taldain]]'s sand, though they affect the sand much more slowly than kinetic Investiture does.{{book ref|sa4|89}} The term '''innate Investiture''' denotes a direct conduit between a person and the Spiritual Realm,{{wob ref|5715}} such as the piece of [[Preservation]] in all [[Scadrial|Scadrians]] or [[Breath]],{{wob ref|1072}} and would likely be a subcategory of static Investiture.

The most common are those powered directly by the Shards,{{wob ref|4097}} which arise from the interactions between a Shard and the planet they are Invested in.{{wob ref|5269}} Such Invested Arts are capable of far more spectacular results than other Invested Arts.{{wob ref|9385}}{{wob ref|4097}} If a planet does not have a Shard in residence, its inhabitants can still access and use Investiture by the ordinary laws of Realmatics, but, without a Shard to provide additional power, the results are far more limited.{{wob ref|9385}} The last category is the few Invested Arts left over from before the Shattering of Adonalsium,{{wob ref|4097}} of which the only known
