'''Odium'sCognitive Impact on Selish CRRealm'''<br />
The reason for this [land/water] inversion also has something to do with how people think, as well as where they are likely to pass.{{msh ref|3|2}}
Not hedging on the land/water inversion being limited to Roshar and Scadrial. Leras implies it's a universal property; nuance can be discussed elsewhere.
 
'''Spiritual Realm'''<br />
Since the Spiritual Realm is not truly a place, travel to it does not so much involve literally going there, but rather seeing the various Connections of the present and into the future. For example, when [[Elend Venture]] burned [[atium]] with [[duralumin]], he was pulled mostly into the Spiritual Realm for a moment and understood [[Leras]]' plan for the death of [[Ati]].{{wob ref|6304}}{{book ref|mb3|81}} Visions, such as the ones [[Honor]] left for potential [[Order of Bondsmiths|Bondsmiths]], almost always involved being pulled partially into the Spiritual Realm, with an additional "Cognitive framework" to provide the structure of the vision.{{wob ref|9562}}
 
'''Investiture'''<br />
Like regular matter and energy, Investiture, when highly concentrated, causes time dilation.{{wob ref|13425}}
any pure Investiture in a solid state is always a metal.{{wob ref|9291}}
 
'''Odium's Impact on Selish CR'''<br />
First, it made the Cognitive Realm around Sel incredibly dangerous, as Devotion and Dominion's Investiture is trapped together in a high-energy state known as the [[Dor]], without enough "escape valves" to stabilize the system.{{au ref|Sel}}{{wob ref|4129}} Second, because the Cognitive Realm was distinct locations and the Spiritual Realm does not, systems of Investiture on Sel became highly-location dependent—different systems of Investiture exist in different regions and the symbols used to access the Dor are often derived from geographical features.{{au ref|Sel}}{{tes ref|30}}{{book ref|elantris|49}}{{book ref|elantris|55}}
