'''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}}
