If Kel is going to come back, I figured out one way how. This was springboarded by reading the annotations for HoA chapter 50some and seeing it explicitly mentioned that Kel's bones got back to the Homeland. So, they would have been underground when Sazed did his thing. So. We know this: -TenSoon can mimic Kelsier's body with his bones, which are presumably still around. -Kelsier is hanging out as a Cognitive Shadow, and can hold unattended shardpower to a limited extent . -Sazed has excess Ruin, which can- among other things- control kandra. I imagine this sequence of events: Sazed passes Kelsier a bit of excess Ruin, and watches carefully to make sure he doesn't get corrupted by it. TenSoon takes Kel's bones, and allows Kel!Ruin to control him. Voila, flesh-and-blood Kelsier. (They are all three making this plan from the start. I want to make that really clear, otherwise it gets a little bit too far into dark-alley territory.)
