Cognitive realm grenade?

[Trusk'our he/him]

Could you turn a full nicrosil metalmind into a weapon by combining it with an “allomantic grenade”, to create a mini perpendicularity that sends your enemies to the cognitive realm? And if that doesn’t work, maybe you could create it instead by combining an unsealed feruchemical metalmind containing the surge of transportation with an allomantic grenade.

A sufficient amount of Investiture would pierce the Realmic boundaries, yes. Hmm... I don't think it would be like some kind of black hole or suction bombs like you're envisioning, I think using a Perpendicularity requires Intent, just from what we've seen so far.

You're probably right. Still, it was pretty fun to come up with!

Alright, even though it probably won't work...here's one more way I thought of to create the 'perpendicularity grenade'  

Could Dalinar store his ability to create a perpendicularity in an unsealed metalmind, and then that be used in conjunction with an allomantic grenade to force enemies into the cognitive realm?

Traveling via Perpendicularity seems to require Intent on part of the traveler.

Something like sending their minds to the Cognitive might be possible though, like what happens to Shallan sometimes when Soulcasting.
