Filling Gemstones with a Perpendicularitiy's power?

[Trusk'our he/him]

Pretty simple question here; could you use raysium to fill a gemstone with investiture from a perpendicularity?

Seems like you'd have a lot of portable, easy to access investiture if you could, especially if you're not on Roshar.

[Dunkum he/him]

not sure if you'd even need raysium. when Dalinar opens Honor's perpendicularity it automatically fills nearby gems. granted that one is already primed to generate stormlight whihc the gems can already hold, but its suggestive

Well, I mean not Honor's perpendicularity. A different one, like the one on Patji.

Depends on the Gemstone, Intent of the investiture, and mechanics of raysium.

I think if you just drop gemstones in a perpendicularity with the Intent for them to be filled with its power, they would be filled.

Honor's Perpendicularity is weird in that it's designed to fill all nearby gemstones.

If that were the case, the Ghostbloods would be monumentally stupid. They have access to multiple perpendicularities. In fact some of them surely have carried dun spheres through one in form of the change in their pockets when returning home.

to be fair honor's perpendicularity is a special case anyway so we can't base much off of it

not exactly because the other perpendicularities wouldn't give stormlight and most of them are liquid instead of this wierd pillar thing

and if you get one that gives out stormlight theres still the connection issue

...once they have access to aluminium they might use perpendicularity liquid though

True but irrelevant to the Ghostbloods. They want portable Investiture. Stormlight is available but not portable. Hence it has to have an advantage over other perpendicularities, which must be availability.

Sure. But why do they want Stormlight. Because you can get it into a gem. The Investiture in other perpendicularities may or may not have that issue. But in any case it is closer. Conclusion: you cannot get it into a gem by any means known and available to the Ghostbloods.

They do have access to aluminium. It could be bought on Roshar even as Shallan was a child.

Perpendicularities seem to have two components. The Shardpool and the Pillar. Cause the Well of Ascension actually did make a column of white light above it. Most people miss that since the book spends more time talking about the actual pool itself, but it creates a bunch of light above it.

Patji's Eye seems to be like a half-Shardpool while Honor's Perpendicularity seems to be just the Pillar and not the Shardpool.
