Each Returned consumes one Breath per week as a consequence of being reborn. The bodies of the Returned feed on any Breaths they have available, and many Returned live for one week only because their bodies consume their divine Breath on the eighth day, killing them a second time.{{annotation ref|Warbreaker|chapter=14}} On the seventh day, they start to grow weak and sluggish and will return to full strength after consuming a Breath on the eighth day.{{annotation ref|Warbreaker|chapter=14-1}} If they suppress their divine Breath they still need to consume a Breath a week.{{wob ref|5840}} Returned can survive without extra Breaths until the day they need to consume one.{{wob ref|4486}} Returned can receive more Breaths on top of their single divine Breath. They then consume these Breaths instead of their own and can stockpile and use them for normal [[Awakening]] purposes.{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=55}} When Awakening, Returned will use regular Breath before using their divine Breath, and will only give away their divine Breath if they push for it.{{wob ref|3508}} Returned can also consume other types of Investiture instead of Breaths, but the rate they would need to consume the Investiture would be different.{{wob ref|3890}}
