1 That1Cellist he/him Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 I think you would have to spike the spike to do that, and you would lose a lot of power from the hemalurgy that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Immortal Platypus Posted October 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 yeah, I know you would lose a ton of power, but I was curious if you could do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Spearguy Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 In all seriousness it probably be possible to steal someones knowledge of Hemalurgy using a copper spike, though to do that you would need to be incredibly skilled making it so that you most likely know more then them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the only problem with that is that you might have to break that spike with your spike which could be hard because the spikes are made of the same material 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Quantus he/him Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 I dont think so. The Spiritweb chunk in the Spike stays there in the Physical Realm rather than the Spiritual Realm where the Spike can target. So you divide and redistribute the physical spike but you cant steal the charge from one spike into another. Now, Per WOB you can steal fake Spiritweb created with hemalurgy, so that's possible. I dont really know, but you might be able to steal something a Power grants via a different metal. For example, you might be able to Spiking In Steel Allomancy with a Steel Spike, but then while they are actively Burning the metal you might be able to spike out SteelSight using a Tin spike, because you'd be stealing Senses that were temporarily augmented, rather than trying to re-take or subdivide the spiritweb chunk housed within the initial spike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with Quantus. You can't spike out a power from someone if that power is granted by the spike, because the power isn't actually in their Spiritweb, it's in the spike. You could just remove their spike and give it to yourself though.

Ooooo. I like it! Taking a Steelsight with Hemalurgic tin isn't something I had ever considered before, but it seems like it might be doable. I wonder, since Allomantic Bronzesense can be stored with Feruchemical tin, could Bronzesense be stolen via Hemalurgic tin as well? Maybe then you could have a permanent Bronzesense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
