'''Investiture''' is a form of [[User:Tempus/Shards|shardic]] radiation that follows a wave/particle duality<ref>[[User:Tempus/Investiture/Duality|waveWave/particleParticle dualityDuality]]</ref>, and is emitted across all three [[User:Tempus/Realmatics|realms]]. Investiture equalizes within a given macroscopic system, defined by boundaries of unclear natures, called a [[User:Tempus/Realmatic System|realmatic system]]. The boundary to a [[User:Tempus/Realmatic System|realmatic system]] is unclear in nature, and transfers of investiture may occur across the boundary of any given system. Realmatic systems on the scope of planets are called [[Shardworld]]s. When a realmatic system encompasses a single individual or object, it is termed as innate investiture<ref>[[User:Tempus/Investiture/Innate Investiture|innateInnate investitureInvestiture]]</ref>. Radiant Investiture that is within the greater macroscopic system of the [[cosmere]] is known as free investiture<ref>[[User:Tempus/Investiture/Free Investiture|freeFree investitureInvestiture]]</ref>.
Investiture can be separated into a spectrum<ref>[[User:Tempus/Investiture/SpectrumFrequency|spectrumInvestiture Frequency]]</ref> of investiture, with each type of investiture occupying a regular frequency<ref>[[User:Tempus/Investiture/Frequency|frequencyInvestiture Frequency]]</ref> within the spectrum. Each frequency of investiture is differentiated from each other by their pulse length<ref>[[User:Tempus/Investiture/PulseFrequency|pulseInvestiture lengthFrequency]]</ref>, which when filtered with [[User:Tempus/Intent|intent]] through a [[User:Tempus/Focus|focus]] can produce discrete, repeatable effects upon the various realms. These are colloquially known as magic, but are more accurately described as a [[User:Tempus/Shardic Realmatic System|Shardic Realmatic System]]. The nature of emitted investiture, its effects and manifestations, and the conditions and results of innate investiture within the greater system are defined by [[User:Tempus/Shards|Shardic Intent]]. When multiple shards are present within a system, Shardic Intent tends to find a [[User:Tempus/Focus|balancing focus]] suitable to the intent of both shards. A [[User:Tempus/Shardic Realmatic System|balance system]] may also be created.
** Investiture in the cognitive realm controls sentience, and as investiture is an ever-present radiation, this explains why all cognitive realm entities have a rudimentary sentience. Large amounts of innate investiture will cause true sentience in an object, or spontaneously generate it's own sentience. The intent present in an investiture can warp a cognitive entity to correspond more closely with its intent.
** Investiture in the Spiritual Realm is difficult to qualify. It should control connections, but what this means is difficult to identify. It's notable that an innate investiture modifies the spiritual DNA of a person, and that the sDNA controls the ability to use frequencies of investiture. It's also notable that using frequent, large amounts of investiture will damage the spirit web of a person, and that the spirit web is affected by strong emotions. Many innate investitures require a spirit web to tear in order to provide a conduit for transferences of external investiture into and out of the system.
