    Hmm, possible, I guess - depending on what that original method was. I was assuming direct gift from Preservation, so wouldn't have been available to Kelsier post-giving the Shard to Vin, but if it's something more analogous to becoming Mistborn via lerasium, totally possible.

    There is a way to become a Feruchemist with Scadrian Godmetals.

    As a scientist, I normally dislike the way the word "theory" is used here in the 17th Shard forums.  Typically applied to "random ideas someone had while reading a Cosmere novel", it offends my sense of scientific pride; a much better word would be "hypothesis", meaning a guess that could very simply be tested and disproved, if false.

    THIS, however, deserves the word "theory".  It 1) describes and relates multiple pieces of evidence we've seen in the Cosmere, 2) explains how things have come to be the way they are in a new and interesting way, and 3) makes multiple predictions about what kinds of things may happen in the future, and WHY.  A terrific work of observation, deduction, imagination, and insight.  Well done, @Kingsdaughter613!

    Alas, if only we, like Navani, had the ability to perform our own in-world experiments!  While I'd guess very few in-world characters are in a position to do useful experiments on the Cognitive/Spiritual aspects of immortals... although as I type this, I find myself thinking we may have already seen multiple examples of just such research.  We, as mere outside observers, are forced to make do with new works as they are published - and, of course, the cleverly constructed questions which produce useful WoBs.

    Thank you so much! This was such a lovely compliment. I really appreciate it!
