DoctaDajman Posted August 29, 2025 Posted August 29, 2025 Tension is by far my favorite surge. So Im trying to imagine ways of getting it outside of becoming a radiant. The most obvious thought... spiking a focused one. But their entire ability is based around making themselves unpenetrable. How would you, if its possible, spike one of these fused to steal their command over tension and what metal would you use to do it? I'll @Trusk'our because hemalurgy, but I welcome anyones thoughts on the subject. 1

You'd have to do it when they're all fat and loose, otherwise when they're all tightened up even a Shardblade would struggle to harm them. Even then, we've never seen Hemalurgy be used on something super fat before, would obesity affect the locations of someone's Bindpoints? As for the Metal, I have no idea what you would use to steal it. Besides maybe pewter spikes because they steal Physical Feruchemical abilities and one could make a correlation between F-Pewter and Fused-Tension.

Draining their Investiture via Leeching (safest with Primer cubes) or a Larkin to remove their defenses would also be plausible. If you don't mind an orbit for a donor-Bindpoint, maybe go for the eye assuming it's not impenetrable, just moderately tough? If all else fails, shoot them with a cannonball laced with Hemalurgic Intent. Not accurate, and you'll probably need to reforge the mangled "spike" afterwards, but technically it just needs to pierce their body in the right area. Enough blunt force should do it. 1

Might be easiest to just bond a peakspren but I would rather the ability straight from them. Do you think this is a nicrosil spike or an atium spike? 1

Do you think this is a nicrosil spike or an atium spike? I don't think nicrosil would do the job. I think it just rips off general Investiture as opposed to specific powers. Atium could do it, but a more mundane metal could too, I think. You'd just need to practice it a little first.
