There are several manifestations of BioChromatic magic:
;[[Heightening]]: A person that holds multiple breathsBreaths gains certain innate abilities, such as perfect pitch, the ability to sense life, and a resistance to disease. The various amounts of Breath required to obtain these abilities are referred to as Heightenings.
;[[Awakening]]: The use of Breaths to bring inanimate objects to life, draining color from nearby objects. The actions of the Awakened object are dependent on the [[Command]] used at the time of Awakening. Breaths used to Awaken an object can usually be recovered by the Awakener, returning the object to normal.
;[[Lifeless]]: Corpses (usually human) that have been Awakened. A technique discovered during the [[Manywar]] allowed for the creation of Lifeless with only a single Breath. Since then, Lifeless have been used extensively as laborers and soldiers.
;[[Returned]]: Individuals that return to life after dying, but without any memories of their previous life. Returned have a single [[Deific Breath]], which grants them all the innate powers of the Fifth Heightening, as well as other unique powers such as the ability to change their form. A Returned must consume one of their held breathsBreaths every week. If they are forced to consume or give away their Deific Breath, they will die. In [[Hallandren]], Returned are worshipped as gods.
 
It is important to note that all use or transfer of Breath is considered heresy in [[Idris]].
