Fallen Rope Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Investiture from having breath, being Elantrian or being a shard makes you immortal. So Nicrosil compounding might do the same thing, if it stores Preservation or Ruin investiture. Compounder could also reach "mist" heightening from tapping. Nicrosil compounding should be better than atium, since it pauses ageing. Getting some mists into a metalmind might be a problem though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oudeis Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 The closest we've got to evidence that Elantrians are immortal is a line in a prologue that reads like a fable and admits that "eternity ended ten years ago." We know they can die of injuries, and while we don't know who the narrator is it seems to be set at the time of the events of the book, when arguably as little factual data was known about Elantrians by anyone as ever in history. So... you've really just got Breaths, and "becoming a God". While I grant it's a feasible hypothesis, two points of data are little enough to base it on.
