== Investiture of people ==
Generally, humans are not Invested. However, on some worlds, a Shard has invested humans. For example, [[Preservation]] gave part of his power to humans to make them sentient. On [[Nalthis]], people are born with [[Breath]]. Both cases are known as '''Innate Investiture'''.{{qa ref|977|5}} All people have some Investiture and this can be known as the Spark of life, this does not truly count as innate Investiture.{{qa ref|1076|27}} For example On [[Nalthis]] every person is born with a breath and have innate Investiture how ever a person who has given up his breath is no longer innately invested while still maintaining his Spark of Life.
Under specific conditions, some humans can become Invested with more power than others. In general, the closer the connection between a human and a Shard, the more powerful the human becomes. A normal human on Scadrial is less connected to Preservation than a [[Misting]], who snapped (chose Preservation) at some point but is less powerful than a [[Allomancer#Mistborn|Mistborn]], who either consumed Lerasium (the direct Physical essence of Preservation) or has the proper Spiritweb needed to access all the Allomantic Abilites who is weaker than a Sliver during the time they held the power of Preservation, who is weaker than a human who held the [[Shard]] permanently.
* filled [[Metalmind]]s of a [[Feruchemist]]
* a charged [[Hemalurgic]] spike ([[Vin's earring]], [[Wax's earring]])
* any Awakened object. [[Nightblood]], as a Type IV Biochromatic Entity
* [[Shardplate]] and [[Shardblade]], as well as the Honorblades
Invested objects are harder to affect with any magic system, the more Investiture the more difficult to affect.{{qa ref|715|1}}{{qa ref|979|51}}Once an object has been invested it is very hard to invest it with a different kind of investiture as well.{{qa ref|1034|28}} Sometimes when an object in one of the Realms has a large amount of Investiture it can gain sentience.(see [[Spren]] and [[Nightblood]])
