Say, viewing one's self as a brunette as opposed to Dark blond or as having green eyes instead of brown. Would gold healing change the color? I wondered about this but got veto'd pretty quick. Quote Yata:The Cosmere's Healing works with your own Cognitive Aspect, but you can't change drasticaly your Cognitive Aspect because it's influenced by your Spiritual Aspect (A perfect version of yourself). Your Spirit self will try to return to his rightfull states... you will need a ton of Investiture to "trasform" and other tons to "keep the trasformation" (if it's possible at all)
Kingsdaughter613 she/her Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 That's why I suggested hair and eye color. Hair especially, but even eyes, change color naturally. I'm not talking about changing your species, but pigmentation seems to be something that could be easily altered by perception. Some scars are merely a discoloration of the skin. If those reappear why would the pigmentation in hair and eyes be different? It's pretty much the same thing. Actually, it occurs to me that the Returned can do this, (if they knew how) and their appearance is a matter of perception. So it seems there is a basis for some shifting, but I suspect it has MAJOR limitations. Hair and eye and skin color, height, weight, etc. are all things that vary throughout life and so would not be a major alteration. Drastic changes would be another matter entirely.
