Connection

Connection is a spiritual attribute and uses spiritwebs, connecting them in the Spiritual Realm. It is thought to be part of the spiritual aspect of a being, and has an influence on who can or cannot ascend as the Holder of a certain Shard. There are ways - albeit as yet unknown - other than through Feruchemy to create Connection. Additionally, it is possible to alter Connection through artificial means (such as the device designed by the Ire), though the particulars of just how this is accomplished are also as yet unknown.

Connection and Identity are both the access key and nature of the unlocking of Investiture. This is why it can be difficult to use differing types of Investiture on different worlds.
