== Terminology ==
The term '''Investiture'''{{wob ref|1072}} has only seen in-world use in or by the [[Seventeenth Shard]], [[Ghostbloods]], [[Scadrial|Scadrians]], [[Vasher]], [[Riino]], [[Navani]], the [[Herald]]s, and [[spren]]. Most who refer to Investiture use terminology specific to the world in which they reside; Feruchemists refer to the process of Investing a [[Metalmind]] as 'filling' or ‘storing’ and [[Windrunner]]s refer to the process by which they create [[Lashing]]s as 'infusing'.{{wob ref|5528}} Most characters using this term understand more cogently that the [[cosmere]] encompasses worlds and systems of magic other than their own.
'''Kinetic Investiture''' is a term used for Investiture that is being used or expressed.{{wob ref|15308}}{{wob ref|5715}}{{wob ref|7413}}{{cite}}
'''Static Investiture''' is a term used for Investiture that is held within a sphere or other vessel, therefore not being in use.{{wob ref|15308}}{{cite}}
