Hemalurgically Stealing Hemalurgic Control?

[Trusk'our he/him]

When an Allomancer controls a Hemalurgic construct, they seem to forge a Connection to them, allowing them to continue to influence them even after they've stopped using their emotional Allomancy. Could one use Hemalurgic duralumin to take the Allomancer's control over the Hemalurgic constructs they've dominated, then give it to themselves?

I think this is plausible, but a poor usage of Hemalurgy. The Connections formed between an Allomancer and Hemalurgic construct are not particularly strong, and another Allomancer may be able to relatively easily overwhelm your control, assuming those Connections are transferred in a reduced capacity in the same way that other abilities are. Once your control is broken, there wouldn't be anything that would let you reestablish the Connection, and then you've gone to all of that effort and have a spike in you with nothing else to show for it. It would make more sense to me that you would spike out whatever ability that allowed the Allomancer to control the Hemalurgic constructs in the first place and give it to yourself, and while it might be weaker and you might need another spike, you could at least gain control over the constructs and not merely rely on the existing Connections.

Okay, maybe it would be worth it if that particular person was controlling huge numbers of constructs, but then there may be other complications. Power and will seem to have a component, so even if you were to say spike out Elend's Connection when he has control of tens of thousands of Koloss, you may not have the same level of power or mental fortitude to maintain control of them. It kind of depends on what else is at play with controlling those with Hemalurgic spikes, since once you have control of them, you no longer need to burn Zinc or Brass to maintain that control.
