Shaggai Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I'm just trying to raise a courageous and knowledgable generation. 'Tis nothing outstanding. All children should be educated in the art of Hemalurgy, for scientific reasons. You have to start small, though. Otherwise they're full of preconceived moral notions and don't make good assistants for Hemalurgic experiments. (Unless you can spike out their sense of morality, of course. But then adults are better because they're stronger and don't need your help to use the hammer.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Ok so this has lead to a disquieting line of reasoning for me. If a hemalurgic spike can give you the strength of another person, then if you spiked an adult to charge a spike, and then gave the charged spike to a child, would you have an exponential yield more so than an adult to another adult?

Moogle Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) Ok so this has lead to a disquieting line of reasoning for me. If a hemalurgic spike can give you the strength of another person, then if you spiked an adult to charge a spike, and then gave the charged spike to a child, would you have an exponential yield more so than an adult to another adult? We know that the Breath of old people/young people can be of a different "strength" (though we don't know if it changes over your life), so it makes sense that maybe your Investiture matures over your life, and that spiking a strong man and putting all the strength into a little child's body would result in a far greater effect. Something to ask Brandon, though I always wonder if anyone who asks Brandon about Hemalurgy comes across as a serial killer. For such a disgusting art, it's very fascinating.

Well in a way it is Brandon's own fault lol. I believe he based it on acupuncture which in and of itself is a fascinating art as well. By extension one must wonder, if this is true, then if you spike a child from multiple adults, what kind of affect would that have on the child's physical as well as mental maturity? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
