Do resonances disappear if the powers they came from disappear?

[Trusk'our he/him]

If someone who has developed a resonance by holding two or more powers suddenly has those powers disappear permanently, would the resonances persist even without those powers?

For example, if Pattern needed to break his bond with Shallan, would her mnemonic abilities stay, or would they vanish?

[Frustration]

They would likely disappear.

Is it possible to have more than one resonance, or would they interfere with one another too much, and become something else? Is there some way to go about gathering resonances if that was the only thing someone wanted, and not the powers involved (for some reason yet to be discovered)?

As far as we know you can only have a small number of resonances, and the more you have the weaker they all get.

I don't think Hemalurgy let's you steal them but I'll double check.

EDIT: no WoB I can find on it.

A Resonance isn't a power by itself. If you lost either of the powers that creates the Resonance, I think you'll lose their Resonance as well.

Do Mistborn have resonances?

Brandon Sanderson

*Hesitantly* Everybody does, but they're not as pronounced.

OrangeJedi

Is that because they just have so many powers?

Brandon Sanderson

Yeah.

Resonances are mostly era 3 stuff last we heard
