Nicrosil Supersaturation

[Trusk'our he/him]

As I've thought on the double nicrosil Twinborn more and more, I get the feeling that they could obtain more raw power than any other non-Shardic Scadrian.

Firstly, they can Compound. That alone allows them to use their Allomancy to fill Nicrosilminds for later use, powering up their abilities later, albeit in shorter bursts. 

However, based on the hypothetical use of F-nicrosil increasing the strength of your Allomancy (or Feruchemy, possibly), I think that they could deliberately not store part of their Compounded Allomancy, which in turn would increase the strength of their Compounding as they Compound, making their overall Investiture output higher.

There'd definitely be an upper limit to this based on compression loss, but it would still be another powerful trick.

Then, however, there's Savantism. This would further increase the power and efficiency of every step in the process, making them able to draw even more Investiture as they Compound.

Then there's the Resonance. I'm not sure how this would truly manifest, but given that there powers are boosting Investiture and strengthening Investiture when Tapping, I think it's as safe a bet to guess it would strengthen their overall Investiture as you can when dealing with Resonances. 

Plus, you know, you're adding extremely heightened versions of the Investiture plus Savantism to the Resonance, which I suspect would only further its effects.

But, this is all just a thought experiment for fun. Take it as you will.
