Feruchemically Storing Allomantic Effects

[Kurkistan he/him]

I was browsing through Peter's Twitter feed (he answers a lot of questions that are nice to know the answers to ) and saw a conversation between him and our very own Satsuoni. Sats is feeling all bashful today, so authorized me to repost it here. Any upvotes/accolades you feel compelled to give should be allocated to Satsuoni, as I am merely the messenger here.

Satsuoni:

@BrandSanderson Happy Head-munching and best wishes! (^-^)/ Is it possible to store Allomantic effect in metalmind of same metal? (~_~

 

Peter Ahlstrom:

@Satsuoni Did you read Alloy of Law?

 

Satsuoni:

@PeterAhlstrom  Yes, why? The question is not about Feruchemical nicrosil, if that is what you mean. Thank you for answering, btw.

 

Peter Ahlstrom:

@Satsuoni Oh, right, I misunderstood the question.

 

Satsuoni:

@PeterAhlstrom  I see. What about my original question?

 

Peter Ahlstrom:

@Satsuoni In general only feruchemical effects can be stored in metalminds. But there may be some ways around that. RAFO.

 

Satsuoni:

@PeterAhlstrom  Thank you!

 

My read of this is that Peter is talking about stuff like how you can store the strength you get from Allomantic pewter in a pewtermind, but it could be hinting at something else.

 

Any thoughts? Mainly I posted this for posterity's sake.

For clarity's sake, I was asking about questions raised in this thread. Whether Peter answered the same question I implied or not is known only to him   but I think so, given the answer.

I think that would require a hemalurgic spike stealing the allomantic ability you want to store, personally. That would set the feruchemical properties of the spike to work according to the hemalurgical charge, which would hold allomantic ability.

Thanks Satsuoni! I'll quote that to the thread on Compounding.
