oh, by the way, what's the "mourning" referring to?

The possibility exists, or a story can be plausibly made up, that Rashek provided such a weapon for mankind (well, the Scadrians) in case of his death, as he had provided the caves and the stores for that possibility. And he was surely of the opinion that his demise was a cause for extended mourning, wailing and gnashing of teeth. I suppose that we are seeing the world of ash only through the eyes of rebels. Some people must have liked him.

On a separate note, I think the spike in his eye is Duralumin

The metal we know to work with a Cognitive Shadow is silver.

Well, are we talking about hemalurgy in the conventional sense? You cannot make a Kelsier-spike the conventional route. He has no heart to stab him through anymore.

You don't have stab the heart of the person you want to gain the benefits of Hemalurgy.

Just the person you want to steal from.

Yes, but the attribute you want to transfer is "being Kelsier" or "having Kelsier's mind". Usually you'd want to extract that from Kelsier. That, however, will not work conventionally. Kelsier is too heartless.
Duraluminium seems to take somebody's Connection to something

Brandon on spiking Connection (spoilers for Sel)

Maybe you'd be able to use Connection to connect yourself to a Cognitive Shadow. But who'd do that? And if you wanted to transfer the ability to do that, you'd use gold.

Well, the lord ruler weeps as he kills. no. wait.  He makes people weep as he kills, or, more accurately, he makes people weep as his henchmen kill. no. His henchmen make people weep as they kill. As in the henchmen make people weep as the henchmen kill.

y’know, I have no idea.

you seem confused.
