ONe thing that I had always thought about was that Austre is right (to a point). Breaths are part of the soul, or for those realmanticly inclined, they allow us to exist in the Spiritual Realm. When Tom gives his breath to Steve, Steve now exists doubly (or nearly so) in the Spiritual Realm. Why nearly so? Because I believe that Tom still has somewhat of a Breath. Just about 1% though.
What happens with Nightblood? Well, I believe that Steve (and parts of Steve) can travel between Realms. This means that when Steve draws Nightblood, my Breaths (stored in the Spiritual Realm) flow through to Nightblood, allowing him to affect the Physical Realm (make walls vanish, etc.)
Awakening is interesting. The Three Harmonic Tones are equivalent to the Three Realms. There is Breath (Spiritual Realm), Words spoken in native language (Cognitive Realm), and Color (physical realm). When you awaken something, you give your breath to allow it somewhat of a mind (cognitive, and it needs to have somewhat of a mind to obey), and movement (physical).
Returned are.. interesting. I don't know what to make of them.. yet.
Oh. One more thing. I'm pretty sure Sazed says that he doesn't actually store weight, he just changes how gravity affects him.
