==== Forgery ====
[[Forgery]] works by overlaying an object’s or person’s history and spiritweb with an alternative one. This may indicate that it is possible to remove the effects of a [[soulstamp]], though it is currently unknown.{{wob ref|837}}
 
=== Heat Sharing ===
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}}

===== Bondsmithing =====
A [[Bondsmith]] that is bonded to the [[Stormfather]] is able to read a person's spiritweb.{{book ref|sa4|47}} The person's spiritweb appears to the Bondsmith as faintly glowing lines of varying thickness depending on the strength of the connection. It is currently unknown if othersother Bondsmiths share this ability.
 
===== Soulcasting =====
Although it does not directly alter the spiritweb, [[Soulcasting]] can alter a spiritweb if the Cognitive aspect stays altered for long enough.{{book ref|sa3|part=ars}}
 
===== Regrowth =====
[[Regrowth]] allows for healing both the Physical form of a living thing and its spiritweb, as does a sufficient amount of Stormlight. This likely functions by restoring one’s physical form to the state of their Spiritual Ideal.{{wob ref|9441}} Regrowth can even go so far as to reattach the soul of one recently deceased.{{book ref|sa2|88}}{{book ref|sa3|90}}
 
=== Shardblades ===
A [[Shardblade]] can be stolen with Hemalurgy,{{wob ref|1153}}{{wob ref|4548}} because it is Connected to a person's spiritweb. When a Shardblade cuts through living matter, its edge fuzzes, leaving the physical body uninjured, whilst cutting the being's Cognitive self - not their spiritweb.{{book ref|sa1|13}}
