ChayShan Steel Compounding, Breaking the Cosmere

[The Stick]

We know ChatShan connects you more and more to the door the more speed you build up and the more you perform you pattern. What happens if a Steel Compounder moves at the speed of sound to supercharge ChayShan.

Doesn't it work the other way around? You're using the Dor to become faster. I guess tapping steel would make you faster but it won't charge or do anything with ChayShan. But I think you could store speed while performing ChayShan and that might be a quite effective way for Selish Steelrunner to gain lots of attributes. But it might go the other way around, like you said, use F-steel to charge ChayShan and draw ridiculous amounts of Dor. That would be a quite powerful move.

Since ChayShan needs some start-up time, I think it's a feedback loop of sorts with you moving to open the Dor, which then lets you move faster and access more Dor, which means that you can move faster and so on, until some sort of limit is reached. Steel would either bring it to new heights or just let them reach the limit faster.

That makes sense.  Im curious how that might differ from doing the ChayShan inside a Speed bubble, where it's not technically speed so much as a frame or reference difference.  

Unless the Physical Movement aspect of ChayShan is deep and realmic enough that supercharging Physical Speed would cross the Investiture wires enough to Hack the Power Sources.  If so you then might be able to power ChayShan anywhere in the cosmere using Preservation's investiture rather than Dor.
