There are at least four laws that govern Investiture.{{wob ref|3544}}

 

 

; The Second Law of Investiture: The Second Law, according to Brandon, "stands as is",{{wob ref|3544}} this refers to the fact that, in simple terms, energy flows from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. </br></br> This law can be observed through how Investiture tends to leak out of bodies containing it (be it gem or sophont){{book ref|sa1|prologue}}, and how it tends to flow into vessels that aren't Invested. For example, when [[Stormlight]] is quickly removed from a gem, it would pull in Investiture and [[spren]] from the surrounding area.{{file ref|Navani's_Notebook_-_The_Arnist_Method.jpg|The Arnist Method}}{{book ref|sa4|42}}{{cite}} The flow of Investiture outside of holes into the Cognitive Realm created through [[AonDor]],{{book ref|elantris|7}}, which creates an opening or release valve to the very densely packed Investiture of the Dor,{{au ref|selish}}{{wob ref|6852}} into the far less Invested Physical Realm; and the way in which Investiture leaks from, and affects the surroundings of, those with many Breaths,{{book ref|wb|15}}{{cite}} might be other examples of this. </br></br> Further evidence is in how the more Stormlight a [[Surgebinder]] takes in, therefore, the more concentrated the Investiture within them, the faster it leaks out of their body, which could be a further display of the flow of Investiture from higher a system of higher concentration (the body of the Surgebinder) to one of lower concentration (the world surrounding said Surgebinder).{{book ref|sa2|2}}
