The fundamental magical energy of the Cosmere, the power of creation itself. All magic systems in the Cosmere are different manifestations of Investiture, which originates from the Shards of Adonalsium. Investiture can take many forms: the mists of Scadrial, the Stormlight of Roshar, the Dor of Sel. It follows consistent underlying rules across all worlds, though its expression varies dramatically depending on which Shard's influence dominates a given planet.
