Allomantic tinkering

[TheBreadRuler]

Would it be possible to change the source of Allomancy's Investiture?

Like for example make Allomancy pull from Odium's investiture?

Hemallurgy is the magic system that seems most likely to be able to do this.

The Dor seems pretty flexible, maybe some shenanigans could happen to get infinite allomancy while on Sel? Then Connection hack yourself to Sel to keep that wherever you are?

I guess that's the "easiest" way of doing that, but for example Odium provides free Voidlight to Fused. Powering Allomancy with Odium's investiture sounds like an awesome deal.

Stormlight is plentiful and replenishing as well.

Would burning Raysium, for example, allow one to draw in Voidlight?

I'd say that Divine Intervention would be just as rare as finding the Distilled Essence of a God.

This seems like a similar question to 'Can you fuel Awakening with Stormlight instead of Breath?'. What you want is possible but no one onscreen in the books has figured it out yet.

Also we have no idea what Burning Raysium would do so that's a 'maybe' from me.

This is kind of what happens when an Allomancer burns a Godmetal or Godmetal Alloy. They draw upon the inherent power within the Godmetal rather than using it as a key to access Investiture from Preservation. If someone Burns Atium then they're using Ruin's Investiture. 

So you'd just need access to Godmetals and you're done.

I guess there are many ways of doing it, of varying difficulties.
