strmblsd Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 It shouldn't have worked when the dude got stabbed was there any intent to make a spike? You need intent to make one. So it shouldn't have worked right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However Ruin meant to corrupt Spook and turn him into an Inquisitor - even the cloth covered glasses started to resemble an Inquisitors' eye spikes. Ruin was the one who provided the Intent, the placement of the donor getting stabbed, and the precise and valid placement in Spook's body to grant him the power. Ruin proceeded to use the foothold forcibly placed in Spook's soul to try to further subvert him and destroy Urteau by appearing as Kelsier. Ruin orchestrated it all.

Ruin orchestrated it all. @Duxredux already covered it, I just wanted to post the WoBs (edited to the relvant bit for length) from which the information comes: Spoiler Quote Questioner Allomancy requires, you need to be either a Misting or a Mistborn to be able to do that. But Hemalurgy you just need to stab someone through the heart. So what would stop someone on Roshar from using Hemalurgy, because it's not Innate? Do you have to be in proximity to Ruin? Brandon Sanderson Intent is a big part of a lot of the magics, including Hemalurgy, meaning that you need to know what you're doing. Or somebody needs to-- There needs to be Intent involved in what's happening to you. Questioner So like with Spook when he got spiked, where was the Intent? Brandon Sanderson The person who was driving that spike was being influenced by Ruin, and the Intent was there. Holiday signing (Dec. 12, 2015) Quote Questioner Does Hemalurgy require intent to steal the stuff? Or could somebody in theory just stab through in the exact-- I understand the chances are extremely slim, it's like accupuncture ...happen by accident? Brandon Sanderson Here's the thing, you've seen it happen without the intent of the person holding the spike. Questioner But I think it's commonly accepted that Ruin was sort of manipulating some-- I'm specifically taking the Spook example off the table, I'm just saying, someone by accident stab - whoops! stab - whoops! and have a power? Brandon Sanderson Again, Ruin was involved in that. Every spike-- spiking that you saw had Ruin's intent behind it. I'm not going to answer your question, RAFO.
