The dyes made from the tropical flower called the Tears of Edgli are very potent and are highly valued by Awakeners. Black, although not commonly considered a color, is very effective as a source of fuel for Awakening. Īn effective way to prevent an Awakener from using their art is removing all but grey or white objects in their vicinity. While the color change is physical, there is also a Spiritual change happening to the object. If this happens to an object, it cannot be be drained from white to grey. Objects drained of their color usually turn grey, although an Awakener who achieved Perfect Invocation could drain objects more fully, turning them white. Color appears to act as a fuel for Awakening. Īwakening an object has the additional cost of draining the color of nearby objects.



Some feats of Awakening can only be achieved once a certain Heightening has been reached. The more Breath one has, the easier it is to Awaken, and the more types of Awakening can be performed. One may choose to give away one's Breath to another person, increasing that person's number of Breaths. Other Investiture can be used to fuel Awakening, though the method on how is hard to figure out. Any person with Breath can use it for Awakening, though it's harder for a non- Nalthian.
