Alumínio he/him Posted October 12, 2023 Posted October 12, 2023 mists and stormlight are basically the same thing, and Brandon already mentioned it being possible to use them, but I don't understand why they haven't done that yet Are they blocked or something? Why doesn't Kelsier research how to access the planet's own investiture instead of bringing it from outside?

They are not the same thing, they are just both examples of Gaseous Investiture, along with Breaths. They're all Investiture, but they all have innately different properties Kind of like the fact that Electricity and visible light and Radio are all Electromagnetic Energy, but they are still very different in many practical ways. 3

Nobody could do that except for Vin, who had an exceptionally large Connection to Preservation, because Preservation had chosen her as its next Vessel. Mists aren't as free as Stormlight is, and aren't trap in a gemstone. You would probably need a ton of Connection to inhale Mists in the first place, and nobody has that. It's easier to take Stormlight from Roshar that can be so easily captured in a gemstone. And you would still need to unkey them, because a normal Mistborn can't use them. But it is theoretically possible to capture Mists in a gemstone, but because it's "theoretical", it probably is more complicated than just holding a gemstone out in the open during a misty night.
