0 Weltall Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Yeah, ingesting a feruchemst to mimic their appearance would do nothing to grant a kandra feruchemical abilities. Now, if you had a hemalurgic spike, a kandra could use that (it's very easy for a kandra to use spikes) and then use any metalmind the original feruchemist filled with the corresponding trait or fill their own metalminds, because the spike steals enough Identity to make them the same person, as far as a metalmind is concerned. But that's a separate application of magic. Edited July 31, 2020 by Weltall 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Eternal Khol Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 I dont think so. a kandra just recreates the physical looks of a person metalminds are keyed to Identity, which is more than just looks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither. The power of feruchmy exists in the soul not the body. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was rereading Shadows of Self and wondered if Bleeder had to fill up her own metalmind or if she could use the one from whomever she killed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
