“The actual outlet of the power is not chosen by the practitioner, but instead is hardwritten into their Spiritweb.”
The Spiritweb is a rather mysterious concept in the cosmere, very little is known about it for sure. However, it does seem likely that the Spiritweb is a person's Spiritual aspect. Evidence suggests that the Spiritweb is laid out in a specific pattern in a person. This pattern forms a network of lines and points.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content These points are sort of Spiritual pressure points
