An official definition of the term has not been given yet.
Meanwhile, the term '''Investiture''' is a generalized term used by the [[Seventeenth Shard]] and [[spren]]. In the Cosmere, so far, they are the only ones with knowledge of the term '''Investiture'''. On the Cosmere worlds different terms are used to describe the application of magic, depending on its appearance. For example, the [[Feruchemist]]s of [[Scadrial]] -- who are able to invest [[metalmind]]s -- refer to the process as 'charging' the metalmind. A [[Surgebinder]] with access to the Three [[Lashing]]s refers to the Investiture as 'infusing' a person or an object.{{ref|?|619|18|Can we change charge to imbue?}}
The term can be used as a verb or an adjective. The Feruchemist invests his metalmind, which then becomes an invested object. By [[Awakening]] a rope, the Awakener Invests the rope, which becomes an Invested object.
