== Scadrial == The method of Initiation for [[Allomancy]] is known as [[Snapping]].{{book ref\|mb1\|17}} A [[Scadrian]]'s potential for Allomancy is set at birth according to their [[Physical Realm\|Physical]], [[Cognitive Realm\|Cognitive]], and [[Spiritual Realm\|Spiritual]] aspects;{{wob ref\|1351}} sufficient trauma during life (or even during birth itself){{book ref\|mb3\|epilogue}}) can then provide the necessary damage to the soul to release this latent potential. A large part of the potential is determined genetically, and Allomancy is known in-universe to run through family lines.{{epigraph ref\|mb3\|81}}{{book ref\|elantris\|part=ars}} After [[Sazed]] [[Catacendre\|Ascends]], creating the new Shard [[Harmony]], he becomes bothered by how Snapping works and alters it somehow,{{wob ref\|4242}} making it much easier to reach the necessary threshold of Spiritual damage; however, he is unable to remove the need for the process entirely.{{wob ref\|1076}} Initiation for [[Feruchemy]] also has a genetic component;{{epigraph ref\|mb3\|68}}; whether it has any further requirements analogous to Snapping is unknown. [[Hemalurgy]] grants powers which have first been stolen from another person via a metal spike.{{epigraph ref\|mb3\|33}}{{epigraph ref\|mb3\|36}}{{epigraph ref\|mb3\|38}}. == Roshar == == Nalthis == The [[Returned]] are individually chosen by [[Endowment]]; after a [[Nalthian]] dies, she may choose to grant them a [[~~Divine~~divine Breath]], bringing them back as a Returned. She is looking for "certain things" when choosing who should Return, but can be erratic in her decisions.{{wob ref\|3443}}{{wob ref\|9589}} [[Awakening]] has the easiest prerequisites of all: anyone who is given [[BioChromatic Breath]] can use it for Awakening (even, hypothetically, real-world humans),{{wob ref\|1473}} and Endowment provides each Nalthian with a Breath automatically.{{book ref\|wb\|prologue}} Little is known about [[Dakhor]], but it may only be available to those from [[Fjordell]], and training in [[Dakhor Monastery]] somehow enables monks to access it.{{wob ref\|14908}} And even less is known about [[ChayShan]] and [[Bloodsealing]] with the only known perquisite is that the person must be [[JinDo]] or [[Dzhamarian]].{{wob ref\|8617}}{{wob ref\|14908}} == Taldain == The precise method of Initiation for [[sand mastery]] on [[Taldain]] is unknown, but it differs from that of AonDor.{{book ref\|elantris\|part=ars}} ~~Nobody~~Sand ~~can~~mastery ~~become~~must abe ~~sand~~taught ~~master~~and ~~spontaneously,~~does ~~because~~not noappear ~~powers manifest until after candidate is tested by another sand master~~spontaneously.{{book ref\|ws\|part=ars}} It is unknown how someone gains [[starmarks]], but only a few are chosen to access the power.{{book ref\|ws\|part=ars}}
