=== Spiritual DNA ===
A person’s spiritweb, closely related to Spiritual DNA,{{wob ref|115}} makes up their presence in the Spiritual Realm. Measuring and quantifying a spiritweb is possible, if difficult, to do.{{wob ref|13361}} Spiritual DNA can be passed from parent to child like regular DNA,{{wob ref|5514}} yet does not function exactly the same as identical twins can have different Spiritual DNA.{{wob ref|3037}}{{wob ref|7761}}{{wob ref|16270}} Some ways of utilizing Investiture are written into Spiritual DNA. Spiritwebs can be manufactured, though the process of how is unknown.{{wob ref|15234}}
=== Damaging and Healing ===
=== The Dor ===
==== AonDor ====
[[AonDor]] requires some innate Spiritual DNA, but the [[Shaod]] that turns someone into an [[Elantrian]] likely involves some sort of change to the Spiritual DNA during the transition.{{cite}}
=== Awakening ===
The ability to give [[Breath]], which is a part of a person's Spiritual aspect, is built into a [[Nalthis|Nalthian]]'s Spiritual DNA.{{
=== The Metallic Arts ===
==== Allomancy ====
Multiple forms of Allomancy relate to the spiritweb. Allomantic [[zinc]] and [[brass]] will work only on creatures with a sufficient level of sapience and work better on creatures whose spiritweb has been damaged, as with Hemalurgic constructs.{{
==== Feruchemy ====
=== Surgebinding ===
==== Nahel Bond ====
A [[Surgebinder]]'s [[Nahel bond]] with a [[spren]] works in a similar way, a spren becoming spiritually attached to a certain point on a person's spiritweb, merging together as the [[Surgebinder]] progresses in their [[Immortal Words|Oaths]].{{wob ref|184}}{{cite|WOB on merging more as oaths progress}}
==== Soulcasting ====
Although it does not directly alter the spiritweb, [[Soulcasting]] can alter a spiritweb if the Cognitive aspect stays altered for long enough.{{
==== 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
=== Shardblades ===
=== Bondsmith ===
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. It is currently unknown if others share this ability.
