Nature
Overview section
- Transcends three realms
- Can't be destroyed, only redistributed
- Drawn to sapience
Realmatic Interactions
- Probably needs better name
- Most Investiture is in Spiritual, with the exception of Sel
- Solid (metallic)/liquid gaseous forms of Investiture in physical realm
- Perpendicularities
- Since Innate Invest is in the Spiritual, do it here? Could otherwise make it it's own section or subsection. I don't love the idea of giving it a full h2 heading, but could be necessary if long enough.

Kinetic Investiture
Investiture currently in active use is known as Kinetic Investiture.[1] Many of the Invested Arts naturally have the ability to detect Kinetic Investiture built into them.[2] The methods currently known to do this are sand covered in microbes from Taldain and Allomantic bronze. Faded sand from Dayside turns white when Kinetic Investiture is near, allowing the person holding it to see who is using Investiture.[3] Bronze Allomancy can theoretically detect all types of Kinetic Investiture, but some are much harder to detect than others.[4] In the case of Feruchemy, the power is much more difficult to detect because the Feruchemist is only using internal Investiture while Allomancy draws from an external source.[5] Lightweaving is quieter and harder to detect than Lashings or fabrials. It is not known if the reason why is similar to Feruchemy. Different powers on and within different planets have different pulses or wavelengths.[6] An experienced Seeker can distinguish between those powers.[2] As a fabrial could potentially be created to detect emotional Allomancy, fabrials may be one of the ways to detect Kinetic Investiture.[7]
Invested Objects
Objects are not Invested in their original state. They can become Invested by a Shard or by a human having met the above-mentioned requirements. An Invested object gains magical properties. The more Invested an object is, the more power it has. Examples for Invested objects include:
- filled metalminds 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 Shardblades, as well as the Honorblades
Invested objects are harder to affect with any magic system, the more Investiture the more difficult to affect.[8][9] Once an object has been Invested it is very hard to Invest it with a different kind of Investiture as well.[10] Sometimes when an object in one of the Realms has a large amount of Investiture it can gain sentience (see, for example, spren and Nightblood).
