== 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}}
After [[Sazed]] [[Catacendre|Ascends]], creating the new Shard [[Harmony]], he becomes bothered by how Snapping works and alters it somehow,{{wob ref|4242}}
Initiation for [[Feruchemy]] also has a genetic component{{epigraph ref|mb3|68}}; whether it has any further requirements analogous to Snapping is unknown.
== Roshar ==
[[Surgebinding]] on [[Roshar]] differs from Snapping in that the determination of who is granted access is made on a case-by-case basis by conscious entities (the [[spren]] of the [[Nahel bond]]) depending on the behavior of the person. They are looking for people with broken spirits, as with Snapping,{{wob ref|5182}}
== Nalthis ==
The [[Returned]] are individually chosen by [[Endowment]]; after a [[Nalthian]] dies, she may choose to grant them a [[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}}
== Sel ==
The moment of a [[Selish]] person turning into an [[Elantrian]] and gaining access to the [[AonDor]] is called the [[Shaod]]. It is distinctive in that it only affects those with sufficient [[Connection]] to certain geographical areas on [[Sel]], primarily [[Arelon]],{{book ref|elantris|1}}{{wob ref|411}}
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.
