Cam Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 If at some point hemalurgy becomes common knowledge (it can't stay secret forever), maybe people will donate attributes in a way similar to organ donation. Fill out a form and then get spiked if you have an accident and get put in a coma. Seems that spikes filled with cadmium/bendalloy allomancy would be incredibly helpful for spaceflight. And while I'm here [spoilers] Does harmony now have control over hemalurgic creations the way ruin did? 1
Oudeis he/him Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 You have to close the tag by putting another bracket with "/spoiler" at the end. Also, it's spoiler, not spoilers. My personal contention is that something which rips your very soul to shreds has an impact in the afterlife; similarly, I think that walking around with a scrap of someone else's soul stapled to your own like an elbow nailed to your forehead will have implications for the host, as well. 2

I kind of want to upvote this because of the entertaining mental image of an elbow nailed to a forehead, but that would break your Scadrian Waffle Cook reputation level.
Cold Fusion he/him Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I think it would be kind of like the transferal of breath. If an allomancer is about to die, why waste their power? You may as well sell it and guarantee that your family won't go hungry for the next ten years. Also, not everyone believes in the afterlife... Meaning there has to be at least one or two allomancers willing to give up allomancy for money when they die.
king of nowhere Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I would definitely want to donate my power to my family if it had no ill effect on the afterlife. That there is an afterlife is kinda proven, sazed said it, and there were thousands of people who witnessed the ascension, and moving stuff around like that is hardly something that can be accused of being a trick or a misunderstanding. I'm not sure what the effect of death by heamlurgy are, and I'm not sure how the scadrians coulld find out (save for asking directly to harmony and hoping for an answer). that should decide whether hemalurgic donation is feasible or not.
Arondell Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Does harmony now have control over hemalurgic creations the way ruin did? Alloy of Law Spoiler At the end of Alloy of Law Marsh shows up and makes a comment that kind of implies Harmony can exert such control but chooses not to because of his personal philosophy. Harmony has particular views about how things must be done. I do not always agree with him. Oddly, his particular beliefs require that he allow that. Here.” Sanderson, Brandon (2011-11-08).

I don't think it affects the receiver of the spike to much since Sazed didn't mention that anything was wrong with Vins soul and she was spiked for years. Although becoming a god might have helped heal any damage that said spiking did to her. 1

What I'm saying is, why are you so sure that the Hero of Ages not saying "something was wrong with her soul" means something couldn't have been wrong with her soul?
