what would happen if a drab tapped an usealed Nicrosil metal mind

the nicrosil-minds that we have seen up to now have tended to grant specific abilities, like the power to use iron ferruchemy, for instance.  so presumably the drab would get the same effect that anyone else would - they would gain the ability stored in teh nicrosil-mind for as long as the charge lasted

[Karger Dawnshard]

Nothing I guess.  It is like a circuit without a charged battery.  The drab has nothing to store so they tap a metalmind that gives them the ability to store what they do not have?  Unless the metalmind granted something specific(like allomancy) nothing would happen.

I would say that they would be able to return to normal, or maybe base level Investiture, as blank connection can be stored, why not blank Investiture.
