Awakened And Soulcasting Godmetals?

[Quiver]

Random question for those who know more than me about realmantics. Would it be possible for someone (like Hoid) to awaken or Soulcast the godmetals (like, say, a lerasium bead)?

Would the cognitive aspect of a lerasoum bead see itself as lerasium? Would it view itself as a part of Leras? Or would it be too heavily invested (being a part of a shard and all) so other investiture wouldn't work on it?

Soulcasting the physical metal that they are is possible, but not actual lerasium or atium. As for the awakening, I have no idea

It's primarily the Investiture that would get in the way. It's hard to Invest something that has already been Invested (like Awakening a god metal, difficult, but not impossible). As far as we know, it's impossible to Soulcast an Invested object, such as a god metal. You can't just wish Investiture from another Shard to cross the Cosmere and infuse your metal on Roshar (or wherever you are).

Yeah, good luck convincing a stick to "be made out of the power of the Shard of Ruin". Fire is difficult enough.

Awakening would be difficult as they are both invested to the hilt and non-living. It's frankly just a chunk of metal made from magic really, you'll have just as much luck awakening Mist.
