== Interactions ==
All forms of Investiture which one can use are related to the spiritweb. Some manifestations of Investiture are built into a person's Spiritual DNA, such as [[Allomancy]] and [[Feruchemy]]. Other abilities, such as [[Hemalurgy]] and [[Surgebinding]], involve manipulating Spiritual DNA. A few types of Investiture even work by manipulating or overwriting the spiritweb directly, such as [[Forgery]].

People from the planet [[Canticle]] are able to exchange portions of their spirtweb similar to breath. Unlike breath, heat can only be exchanged with people of Canticle (including by invitation).{{book ref|tsm|Thirty-Nine}} It is unclear how this would interact with Allomancy, as the strength of Allomantic power is generally proportional to the amount of [[Preservation|Preservation's]] investiture an Allomancer contains.{{Cite}}
