Other ways to gain Allomancy

[Grubfriend He/Him]

The current ways to gain allomancy are Lerasium, Hemalurgy, birth, Forgery, and maybe Aons. Could you do something similar to the Naheal bond, by Splintering Preservation and bonding a Splinter. It would take time for them to be perceived in this way but it could work theoretically

This is essentially what Unsealed Metalminds do; they possess pieces of Investiture bonded in a similar method to Honorblades. 

If you really want to go full Radiant and splinter off pieces of Preservation and/or Ruin, yes, this could probably work in theory, but it probably depends on whether you could get that Investiture to coalesce as you want, especially since it probably would require the Spren's Spiritweb to contain the desired power in question (discussed more on this thread).

Actually, a better way to get a Radiant-esc system of Allomancy/Feruchemy might be to turn a Metalborn into a Cognitive Shadow (maybe kill them in a Perpendicularity bath?), then bond them via Connection shenanigans. I'd be willing to bet Kelsier could do this to make someone a Mistborn, at least in theory.
