Why would spiking a human fill a gemstone with Voidlight? In fact why would you go for human sacrifice at all, knowing that some organisms have gemhearts? Curious to know if Moash having Voidlight eyes was in any way related to his connection to Odium? Also, could you theoretically use Hemalurgy/Gemalurgy on spren?

Almost certainly. Color is typically a good indicator of what Shard an Investiture belongs to. 32 minutes ago, Eliana Keylocke said: Also, could you theoretically use Hemalurgy/Gemalurgy on spren? Yes, though it seems likely you'd need to spike them in whatever Realm they have the most substance. Probably the Cognitive Realm, for most. Spoiler https://wob.coppermind.net/events/332-jordancon-2018/#e9493 Questioner Can you Hemalurgically spike a highspren? Brandon Sanderson Yes, asterisk. Spoiler https://wob.coppermind.net/events/121-krakow-signing/#e4768 Mr. Suit Can spren - like Syl - be pierced by hemalurgic spike? Will it give some effect? Brandon Sanderson Yes. A spren can be pierced by Invested metal… Oversleep Could it be spiked? Brandon Sanderson Could a spike be used to give abilities to spren? That’s not going to work really well. Oversleep Could you steal from a spren? Brandon Sanderson Yes, you could steal the Investiture of a spren. Any Investiture can be used in a spike if you know what you’re doing. It’s actually not that hard to use one on a spren. Oversleep Because I thought you said Hemalurgy needs moving blood. Brandon Sanderson It needs, uh, yeah… there are places where spren have more physical form, more tangible form. Questioner Roshar? Brandon Sanderson No, no, no, not Roshar. Questioner The Cognitive Realm on Roshar? Brandon Sanderson Yeah, if you go to the Cognitive Realm on Roshar the spren act differently than they do. Oversleep So you could spike in the Cognitive Realm? Brandon Sanderson Yeah I’ll leave a RAFO with you on that. That’s your fifth one. So there are ways to get any Investiture into Hemalurgy if you know what you’re doing. But yeah this is not something that would be a common use for Hemalurgy. Let’s just say that. Oversleep We do not concern ourselves with common uses. Brandon Sanderson Yes, I know you don’t. But yeah Hemalurgy, when you’re spiking into somebody you… you’ll see when we get around to it. 2
