== Intent of use ==
The intent of a user is very important to several magic systems, these 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 (though this doesn't seem to be the case when spook temporarily gains the ability to burn pewter). 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
depending on the [[Surge]] used the mental component can be very important. [[Lightweaving]] requires an extremely clear image in a persons mind to make something display correctly, but [[Surge]]s like a full lashing the user does not have to have any idea of what they are doing the surge will do the same thing regardless. Some [[Surge]]s do require simply that the user wish it to happen often with [[Surgebinding]] this can be accomplished by instinctively pushing [[Stormlight]] into something.
