Law of Comparability

A principle of Awakening theory taught by Vasher: the amount of Breath needed to Awaken an object does not determine how powerful it is once Awakened. Two objects given the same Command perform about the same regardless of how cheaply or expensively they were invested — Vasher's analogy is that Awakening is less like filling a vessel and more like forcing a door open, after which every door swings the same.
