== Investiture of
All living creatures on some level, have Investiture this is called the Spark of life. All sentient creatures have a slightly greater amount of Investiture than non-intelligent ones. The Spark of Life or Soul of a person creates a kind of interference when working with other forms of investiture. This interference is the reason that metal inside of a persons body is highly resistant to Allomantic steel or iron. To affect Something like metal inside a persons body takes a much greater degree of Investiture than most humans are capable of wielding. This is of note because a humans soul does not count as a highly invested object and a person is not even counted as being innately invested if they only have the Spark of Life. {{qa ref|1076|27}}
Generally, humans are not Invested. However, on some worlds, a Shard has invested humans. For example, [[Preservation]] gave part of his power to humans to make them sentient.

A normal human on Scadrial is less connected to Preservation than a [[Misting]], who snapped (chose Preservation) at some point but is less powerful than a [[Allomancer#Mistborn|Mistborn]], who either consumed Lerasium (the direct Physical essence of Preservation) or has the proper Spiritweb needed to access all the Allomantic Abilites who is weaker than a Sliver during the time they held the power of Preservation, who is weaker than a human who held the [[Shard]] permanently.▼

The conditions required for becoming invested with a larger amount of power differ from [[Shardworld]] to Shardworld. It is assumed that the intent of the respective Shard influences these conditions.▼
▲The conditions required for becoming invested with a larger amount of power differ from [[Shardworld]] to Shardworld. It is assumed that the intent of the respective Shard influences these conditions. On [[Scadrial]] connection to a Shard is determined by genetics. On [[Sel]] it's the [[Shaod]] that comes to those who live in the correct area and are devoted to something, and on [[Roshar]] it has to do with a persons actions and how they live their life.{{qa ref|608|15}}
