(Elaboration on the "Four Laws", still need more citations and expansion.)
The First Law is, as mentioned above, that Investiture cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form.{{wob ref|1649}}{{book ref|mb7|17}}{{epigraph ref|mb3|78}}{{book ref|sa4|65}}{{book ref|sa4|97}}
 
The Second Law, according to Brandon, "stands as is",{{wob ref|3544}} this refers to the fact that energy flows from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This can be observed through how Investiture tends to leak out of bodies containing it, 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|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}} and the way in which Investiture leaks from, and affects the surroundings of, those with many Breaths.,{{book ref|wb|15}} might be another example of this.
 
The Third Law is unknown.
