== Bonds ==
Bonds are connections between entities in the [[cosmere]] that exist outside the [[Physical Realm]]. All bonds are basically the same, with the powers and functions depending on the holders of the bond.{{wob ref|3488}} The nature of the [[ShardworldCosmere#Planets|planet]]s can also have an effect on what the bond does. Bonds are typically formed between entities with greater-than-normal Investiture (e.g. [[Spren]]) and other entities, allowing them to gain enhancements. It is unknown if a person with only innate Investiture is able to create a bond.{{wob ref|6881}} Bonds are not limited to connections of entities with greater-than-normal Investiture to innately Invested entities; they can also be made between two entities with greater-than-normal Investiture.{{wob ref|2862}}
 
=== Types of known Bonding Entities ===
 
==== Scadrial Bonds ====
No bonds are known of on this ShardworldScadrial.
 
Of note is that by using [[Hemalurgy]], bonds may be stolen and given to a new person.{{wob ref|6876}}{{wob ref|1153}}
 
=== The Known effect of Bonds while on other ShardworldsPlanets ===
Bonds on some Shardworldsplanets provide the Holders of the bonds with additional powers.{{wob ref|3488}}
 
==== Roshar ====
Under specific conditions, some humans can become Invested with more power than others. In general, the closer the connection between a human and a Shard, the more powerful the human becomes. A normal human on Scadrial is less connected to [[Preservation]]'s Investiture than a [[Misting]], who is less connected than a [[Allomancer#Mistborn|Mistborn]], who is less connected than [[Allomancer|Mistborn]] who has consumed [[Lerasium]] (the direct Physical essence of [[Preservation]]), who is less connected than a person using a pool of liquid Investiture like the [[Well of Ascension]]. A human who is holding a [[Shard]] is basically pure Investiture and cannot really be considered human while holding a [[Shard]].
 
The conditions required for becoming Invested with a larger amount of power differ from Shardworldplanet to Shardworldplanet. 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 person's actions and how they live their life.{{wob ref|7256}}
