How Spook can still be Alive

[Thesinz]

Through compounding Atium.

Hear me out, i'm not saying that Spook became fullborn and can do it himself. We know that Kelsier managed to create unkeyed metalminds, and to do that you need to be either a Fullborn or full Mistborn/Feruchemist and steal some powers through Hemalurgy.

Its very likely that Kelsier is a Fullborn rather than someone who swaps out Hemalurgical powers since he left the Bands of Mourning behind, suggesting that he didn't need it to grant himself the powers of a Fullborn.

That means, he can easily create unkeyed Atium metalminds filled with extra youth through compounding and just give it literally anyone for them to live forever. Spook is a Mistborn himself so he can easily burn those Atium metalminds, but going one step further with unkeyed metalminds like the Bands of Mourning, you don't even need to be a Mistborn to take advantage of unkeyed Atium to live forever. The only limiting factor would be Atium supply, which i'm guessing we'll get an answer to in The Lost Metal.

If it works like this, then Scadrian investiture is probably the most overpowered in the Cosmere. Through magic science and things like the Bands of Mourning, everyone can become an immortal physical god.

If Spook is a Mistborn, why can't he be a Fullborn? I think that's more likely than unsealed Atium.

I think it's possible he's using chromium , burning through the yrs , coming out when events and technology have developed enough

That’s what I’m thinking too. He’s in a chromium bubble somewhere remote. It might even be that he is near death and having bursts of chromium and every now and then popping in, seeing if technology has advanced enough to give home more life. I think that would be pretty interesting for the fourth book.

May I copy the last two answers to the RoW section? They brought a theory to my mind...

I think you mean Cadmium.

Did I miss something important? Is Spook still alive in Era 2?

That’s a completely different discussion. But there is a distinct possibility that he is.
