how many Spikes Steel Inquisitors have? in FE Marsh say he has 11 but in HoA they say each one have 9? also the neck spike give an attribute or is she just a weakness? if she does which attribute?

Since healing works by putting the body at the state that's coded in Spiritual filtered by the Cognitive Aspect... Could a Gold Compounder heal himself using the Cognitive Aspect of his gold shadow? What would that do? Would it be permanent or disappear like SoulForgery?

Also, what would happen if Bloodmaker Forger tried to heal while being SoulStamped?

Are you sure about this? In the HoA the Inquisitors gain more Spikes but I don't remember a count about their "base spikes". 

Also not every Inquistor have the same number of Spikes... The Mistborn turned to Inquisitor need less Spike to be useful in their job and not every Inquisitor has F-Gold's Spike.

yes look at HoA e3 right after they kill the Inquisitor and take his kolos at the very beginning. were do they say that Inquisitors have a different amount of spikes during the Lord Ruler time? they stated adding spikes only after the Lord Ruler when they were under Ruin control, no? and please dont forget about the second part of the question

Ops Sorry I forgot the second part:

The Spike need to give something I don't know if Magical Abilities or Human Attributes.

We don't even know what the "Standard Inquisitor" has as powers... For example we know Marsh had 11 Spikes as regular Inquisior. This may be 10 Allomantic Powers and Feruchemical Gold... But to be honest I don't think because I see no point in gifting some powers... For example Allomantic Gold (with the risk that an Inquisitor discovers the Compound).

I think we should move that kind of discussion to the Cosmere Q&A (that's what it's for, after all).

Anyway, most of the Inquisitors had between 9 and 11 spikes (during TLR's rule). After Ruin took over he started to add more spikes - for example, he gave some of them Feruchemical atium so that he could use them on other worlds after he destroyed Scadrial.

Let's combine info (from time of TLR's rule):
- Inquisitors were said to be able to Push and Pull with greater strength than regular Mistborn - so at least 2 spikes for Allomantic iron and Allomantic steel : that's 4 to 6 spikes
- they had to have internal physical metals - Allomantic tin and Allomantic pewter : at least 1 spike for each
- some of them (not all) had Feruchemical gold - 1 spike
- to be able to overpower Mistborns they had to have Allomantic atium - 1 spike
- to be able to pierce copperclouds they had to have augmented Allomantic bronze - depending on whether they were a Seeker or not, 1 to 2 spikes

That adds up to 9 spikes (the base for Seekers). Perhaps individual Inquisitors varied. Maybe not all had Allomantic tin and maybe not all had access to Allomantic atium. Maybe some of them had more Allomantic steel spikes than Allomantic iron spikes.

I would argue that TLR would want all of his Inquisitors to have access to Allomantic atium otherwise any ol' Mistborn would be able to handily defeat an Inquisitor.

Is the ability to Worldhop related to Connection and/or duraluminminds?

Perhaps this is a way, but normally Worldhopping works using Perpendicularities to get to the Cognitive Realm and back. Elsecallers and presumably Willshapers can use the Elsecalling surge to go to the Cognitive Realm.

By way of clarification, perpendicularities are shardpools, or at least exist within the same space as a shardpool. It's unclear whether or not a perpendicularity can exist separate from a shardpool.

Well probably a Shardpool works as Perpendicularity but there are Perpendicularities not related to Shardpools.

Because if Perpendicularities are the main way to travel through Realms, only the major Shardworlds will be able to get someone to  the Cognitive (and from the Cognitive to the Physical).

Have we seen a character using a form of magic from a planet/wherever before we were introduced to that planet/place? (Or, in general, in relation to planets we don't know about yet.)

I hope this makes sense.

I would certainly expect so, for the reasons you named. It's just not confirmed that that is the case.

A shardpool doesn't only form from a Shard's Investure, First of the Sun has a shardpool, IIRC Purelake is also a shardpool. Shardpool basically means a collection of Investure in liquid form, its name is confusing, like how we also use the term Minor Shardworld for planets with life but no Shard.

First of the Sun does not have a Shardpool, the pool with the grubs in it was fed by snowmelt.  Likewise, the Purelake is just a lake, no worldhopping possible.

Did we get a WoB about that? I don't recall seeing confirmation that the pool on First of the Sun wasn't a Shardpool: I had been assuming it was, but that we didn't have confirmation for sure.

I was assuming that Pools of Investiture don't feed into rivers, as the one on First of the Sun does.

I actually asked him about the pool on First of the Sun:

Quote

Windrunner17: As you've stated that the magic of First of the Sun is natural and independent of any particular Shard, what is the nature of the pool on Patji? Is it also a natural manifestation of magic, a Perpendicularity, or simply a pool like any other?

Brandon Sanderson: It's a natural manifestation, but on a much smaller scale than you might find on other worlds.

So, not an explicit confirmation that it's a perpendicularity, but it is definitely not a normal pool of water.

Hrm.  I stand corrected.  Maybe all the Investiture stuff is at the bottom and Dusk+Vathi didn't get low enough to be affected by it?  Or maybe it's just a smaller concentration of Investiture, enough so one needs to really look for it and perhaps provide some Investiture of their own in order to worldhop from First of the Sun.

I'm not sure if this has been asked before or of I'm using the right terminology or even if this is possible, but could Hoid be a Sliver of Adonalsium? As in held the power once but doesn't any more.

RITHAMTIST: Can you use multiple colours in the same line of Chalk? If you used multiple colours of chalk to draw one of those photo-realistic drawings of a real person, how powerful would that chalking be?

We have just (for reference, here):

Quote

Q: Is Hoid a Herald, or a Shardholder, or something else entirely.
A: 
Hoid is something else entirely.

Is the Obsidian fortress in Dalinar's vision related in anyway to Shadesmar?
