Eki Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Vasher mentioned Investiture or Investing when he taught Vivenna (and in SA of course), but he's a bit of a special case since he was cosmere aware. You Invest an object when you Awaken it, so I guess that's one subset of Investing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Channeling the Dor was used too, but I'm not sure on that. jW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, another way to put it: What is the in-world term for an "Invested object"? Roshar: infused object; Nalthis: Awakened object: Scadrial: -/filled metalmind/- and so on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landis963 he/him Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 We call Invested Hemalurgy spikes "charged" spikes. I don't believe Sel has a specific term for investing someone or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the Allomancer themselves being invested. In my mind, the power just moves through them as they burn the metal instead. Of course, that still probably means you're right about it not really fitting this list. jW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
