=== Sand mastery ===
{{for|Sand mastery}}
Sand mastery is the magic system of the [[Dayside]] of [[Taldain]]. Autonomy's [[Investiture]] travels through the atmosphere there and is absorbed by a small lichen living on the local sand; this has the effect of turning the sand white.{{au ref|Taldain}} Sand masters can use this to command the sand, making it move around. Sand is controlled in ribbons; the strength of a sand master is defined by how many ribbons they are capable of calling forth.{{book ref|ws1ws|1|review=yes}} They do so at the cost of their internal stores of water.{{au ref|Taldain}}
 
It's unclear what the conditions for becoming a sand master are. The ability seems to be a combination of nature and nurture, and must be encouraged to appear in a person; it can take weeks of training before one can control sand. At the same time, it appears to be in-born to at least some extent, as different people have different strength, and in some, the power will not appear at all.{{book ref|ws1|5}}
