The Kings Raven Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Lets say a full Feruchemist has an unlocked aluminium mind filled with somebody else's Identity and a gold mind overflowing with health. If they drew from the aluminium mind and then drew from the gold mind while their identity was different, would they "heal" into a physical copy of that other person? (If necessary they can seriously damage their body first). I think there's a Word of Brandon somewhere saying that Investiture healing works by drawing from the platonic idea of health in the spiritual realm; but since people retain their individual appearance and body after healing there must be something that personalises the definition of a healthy body. I'm wondering if that something might be part of your identity and if so, could you hack it if you wanted a different body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidus Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Healing works by restoring your cognitive image actually, which is why scars, piercings, etc. don't heal. Identity would be a part of that but not all of it, copper would be getting closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yata Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Probably you may manage this kind of think to work...but I think its more a "theoric experiment" than a actual pratical trick...IF this work, you have to overcome yourself with "someonelse". How much of you may remain ? You will reverted to yourself when the Soul Understand the trick ? (Like with the Youth Feruchemy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kings Raven Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I imagine it would be permanent. Gold healing is permanent where as youth Feruchemy is not. 58 minutes ago, Voidus said: Healing works by restoring your cognitive image actually, which is why scars, piercings, etc. don't heal. Identity would be a part of that but not all of it, copper would be getting closer. Can you store muscle memory with copper? If not then I don't think you could store body image either. That said, if it's just your self-image then you could probably do it with a combination of Alumnim for identity, mental exercises, and Electrum to supercharge those mental exercises. Even if you don't get it perfect since Feruchmeical gold is permanent you could get part way and do it in stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yata Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I think (like Youth Feruchemy) that once your Soul understands that something is "wrong with you", it began to push you to re-allign your three Aspects and this without further Investiture to counter its action. Will end to your old self (maybe It would also damage you, but I don't know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that doesn't work since there's still the moment just when you start storing where you have identity then you could probably get around it by starting with one aluminummind and storing all identity then switching storing to another fresh one.

Ooh, I see it: If you immediately store 100% it's unkeyed by default. I wonder what the effect of tapping somebody's else Identity would do.

Spoolofwhool Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 Just now, Oversleep said: Ooh, I see it: If you immediately store 100% it's unkeyed by default. I wonder what the effect of tapping somebody's else Identity would do. Tapping someone else's Identity would probably give you access to their keyed metalminds. If it overrides your identity, then maybe you could create metalminds keyed to their identity for them. If it mixes the identities, then maybe you could create metalminds which require the blended identity to access. Most cases, this would probably be more useful between full feruchemists. Continuing this line of discussion would be interesting, but would probably be better for another topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
