Anti-investiture vs. Soulflame and object spren

[Lesser spren]

I asked a similar question before, regarding honorblades and Nightblood, but I was wondering what would happen in the physical realm, if pure anti-investiture came into contact with a soul flame or object spren? Would the turn into black smoke like with nightblood or would somthing else happen?

I think an explosion is most likely, as we've seen with anti-investiture before (namely, anti-voidlight and anti-stormlight), assuming they are made of investiture and not something else. I don't know if anti-investiture would be able to destroy it in small quantities, but something like a type 1-6 threnodite entity probably could.

It would not result in an explosion- that only occurs when they're under pressure.

Well, first off, the person would die- quite painfully. Their soul flame would probably flare then fizzle out. No black smoke.

Objects (beads) might be harder, physical things are resilient. They'd probably be harmed somehow, but I'm not sure.

No explosion, as that requires pressure.

I think it would probably be very similar to what happened to Rabonial’s daughter (pardon my spelling) if it had effect in the PR, but if not, it’s more likely to be similar to what happened to the Emperor in Emperor’s Soul.

In the end, Object sprens would be similar - they would lose their Identity most likely and become much easier to Soulcast/Soulforge
