So every Feruchemist from before Rashek used the Well was turned into Mistwraiths. The Mistwraiths could only have offspring with other Mistwraiths. So would it technically be possible for the Mistwraiths and Kandra to carry pure Feruchemical potential? They can't use it of course, due to the 'blockage' that Rashek put between their physical and cognitive selves*
But if they do, could it potentially be Spiked out of them? Or perhaps could there be a way to remove this blockage and make them human?
How intelligent is a mistwraith? Could you raise and train mistwraiths like dogs or horses, controlling what forms they take by the bones you give them? Would you be able to train yourself a horsewraith steed by giving it only the bones of a horse?
This is feasible. One thing to keep in mind is that mistwraiths are people who have a blockage between the Physical and the Cognitive Realm, messing with their ability to think. Think of them as mentally-stunted people. There's enough there to train, but then you have to dig into the ethics of it...
