Elsecaller_17.5 Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 I'm leaning towards to yes, aluminum in a basic level removes other metals and in a truer sense all investure. I cant think of any reason it wouldn't work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriarFritz Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 I don't think it would. It doesn't remove investiture, really, it more just cuts it off. Even if it did, though, savantism is caused by use of investiture, not sustained. It has permanent physical effects (and probably cognitive and spiritual as well). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal Khol Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 This might help. i dont it would work. with Savantism, your soul is actually changing into something else. the way brandon states it, he makes it sound like it would get rid of malady’s affecting your body and soul. but your soul shifting isn’t a malady. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honorless Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) I don't think aluminum could reverse Savantism. Your Spiritweb gets altered by Savanthood. It isn't harmful Investiture, it's mutated Investiture, permeated through your Spiritual self: it's becomes a part of your own Spiritweb. Just like Cosmere healing wouldn't work on it, because it applies your Spiritual ideal onto your Physical body, and your Spiritweb has itself become altered. Aluminum wouldn't be able to do anything either: because it's not harmful Investiture that's affecting you, it's your own inherent Investiture that has been altered by sustained exposure to certain type(s) of Investiture.

Quantus Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Aluminum Spike might do it. It should in theory permanently remove all powers from the recipient, which I think could take the savantism with it. Alternatively it might just make it worse. For example removing Tin after getting the sensory overload issue might have additional fallout where the senses are reliant on the allomancy, so removing makes you blind and deaf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanLemon Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Going a bit further into theory territory here, but Aluminum Feruchemy might. It stores Identity so if you had stored Identity before Savanthood then maybe. This is if it can store more esoteric aspects of Identity and not just the Spiritual fingerprint part of it. Which I'm inclined to believe that it can considering that Duralumin can store things like 'blank' Connection Edited August 11, 2020 by StanLemon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
