Marns she/her Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Hi guys! I have been discussing in the spanish Facebook group about If the inquisitors need drink vials for use the abilities in his spikes. A lot of people agrees with that. It's true that if they drink a vial his power increases but they not "need" drink vials to use the ability, at least this is the way I understand it because the blood on the spike is what metabolized the ability on the spike right?

DreamEternal Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 No, they need to burn metals to use allomantic abilities, and can't burn their own spikes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marns she/her Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 You have a WoB? or something? It's that I can't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mckeedee123 he/him Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Hemalurgy basically just takes an element off of a target's spiritweb, then transfers that ability to another person's spiritweb, be it strength, resolve, or allomantic power. We have a WoB that the Inquisitors' power comes from drinking metals, not burning or otherwise using the spikes. Spikes can't be burnt, in fact, unless the original element on the spike came from the person trying to burn it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marns she/her Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 So they drink metals but they don't burn them? You have the WoB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mckeedee123 he/him Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Here it is 37th Down 37 QUESTIONSo do Inquisitors, when they use Allomancy, have to actually ingest the metals?BRANDON SANDERSONThey actually do. So what is happening is Hemalurgy rips off a piece of one person's soul and spikes it somebody else and so it is basically taking off the piece of someone's soul that makes them an Allomancer and adding it to someone else instead and so then they act as an Allomancer just as it would happen.

Guest Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Spikes can't be burnt, in fact, unless the original element on the spike came from the person trying to burn it. The Spike can be burned as metal regardless of who charged it. There are a few conflicting WoB's about what result burning it would have outside of that.

Guest Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 NTERVIEW: Jul, 2009 Twitter: Brandonothology collection (Verbatim) CZANOS Would anything interesting happen if an Allomancer Burned a Hemalurgic spike, or a Feruchemist Tapped one? BRANDON SANDERSON Er, well, it’s possible. But you’d have to be burning a Hemalurgic spike that killed you and took your power... Just like you can’t gain anything by burning a metalmind unless you infused it yourself. INTERVIEW: Jan 10th, 2011 Tor Q&A with Brandon Sanderson (Verbatim) MARU NUI () What happens when you burn a Hemalurgic spike? BRANDON SANDERSON () Burning a Hemalurgic spike would have the effect of splicing your spiritual DNA to that of the person's that is in the spike, which would have some very strange consequences INTERVIEW: Jan 10th, 2011 Tor Q&A with Brandon Sanderson (Verbatim) MARU NUI () Can you both Feruchemically charge and Hemalurgically invest in the same piece of metal? BRANDON SANDERSON () Yes. MARU NUI What would happen if you burned the Feruchemically charged and Hemalurgically invested metal? BRANDON SANDERSON RAFO. Based on the dates, I'm inclined to assume that he changed his mind and the 2nd one is correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
