The intent of a user is very important to several magic systems., Severalthese magic systems require a mental component to function. Some like Hemalurgy simply require that someone intend to make a spike when they do it and others like Awakening require complex images created in your mind with the spoken command to function. Hemalurgy has only one known Mental component and that is that a user must be trying to do Hemalurgy. This mental component if not present renders the spike to a normal metal spike and simply harms the victim. When present it controls what is stolen when used in conjunction to the correct binding point. However the person doing the spiking does not need to be the one intending to create a Hemalergic Spike, the holder of the [[Shard]] [[Ruin]] is able to provide this intent for the person doing the Spiking.

The more complex the command the more important that mental component is. Surgebinding
