'''Identity''' is a [[Spiritual Realm|Spiritual]] attribute{{book ref|mb6|3}}{{wob ref|9431}} within the [[cosmere]] that demarcates one being from another for the purposes of [[Investiture]].{{book ref |BoM|3}} It acts as a sort of spiritual DNA, and it functions together with [[Connection]] in order to form a link to various forms of Investiture.
 
 
=== Feruchemy ===
In [[Feruchemy]], Identity is stored in [[aluminum]]. To effectively use aluminum, one must have Feruchemical access to at least one metal besides aluminum. By storing Identity in aluminum and then filling another metalmind, they create an "unkeyed" metalmind that can be used by any Feruchemist.{{book ref|mb6|3}} One example is in [[The Bands of Mourning]]: [[Wax]] finds a gold bracelet filled with healing power that [[Wayne]], a gold Ferring, can access, Wax cannot.{{book ref|mb6|17}} Through a method that has not yet been fully revealed, but which builds on unkeyed metalminds,{{wob ref|5656}} it is also possible to create an [[unsealed metalminds|"unsealed" metalmind]] of [[investitureInvestiture]], which ''anyone'' can use to access Feruchemical power; the [[Southern Scadrial]] medallions are an example.{{book ref|mb6|21}}{{wob ref|2112}}
 
As of [[Mistborn Era 2]], the [[Kandra]] and the [[Terris]] community have begun experimenting with Identity and the other spiritual aspects of Feruchemy, but still understand very little, owing to the rarity of the appropriate Ferrings and metals.{{book ref|mb6|3}}
Storing Identity makes one more susceptible to being affected by many things in the cosmere, including [[Forgery]].{{wob ref|3547}} When a human is soulstamped, the transformation lasts a relatively short period of time, and the best crafted stamps last approximately a day. This is due to the fact that the Identity of a person, as opposed to an object, is constantly growing, changing and shifting.{{tes ref|30}}
 
=== LightweavingShallan ===
There is a "pretty tenuous" link between Identity and the different personaeparts thatof Shallan creates with [[Surgebinding#Illumination|Lightweaving]].{{wob ref|8480}}
 
=== Singer forms ===
Identity and Connection are involved with the [[singer]]s' ability to [[Singers#Forms|change forms]].{{book ref|sa3|17}} If a singer's Identity and Connection is stolen, they will change into slaveform.{{book ref|sa1|72}}{{book ref|sa3|17}}
 
=== Nahel Bonds ===
Forming a bondNahel Bond utilizes Identity and Connection in some manner. Lessening those attributes, such as by storing them in a metalmind, would affect the bond.{{wob ref|9407}}
 
=== Healing ===
