Lift with a Medallion

[Kinnsayyy]

Okay so I was rereading Edgedancer and i had a thought. Since Lift can convert food directly into stormlight, would she be able to convert food stored in a bendalloy medallion? If so, what if the medallion granted the use of bendalloy both with feruchemy and Allomancy, making her be able to compound it? 

 

Would this mean that she would have a near unlimited amount of stormlight? What could she do with that? Maybe her healing (progression surge) would be greatly increased. 

Could she heal someone who has been dead for much longer? Hours or even days? 

Could she heal a someone's soul, such as Szeths? Or maybe heal the connection between a cognitive shadow and their body, such as Kel, or heal a returned from their dead status?  

Could she heal a dead shardblade? 

 

The incredibly large amount of stormlight could also have other effects. We know when someone has a lot of breath they reach different heightenings, which give like perks such as agelessness. Could this be independent of magic system and just a side effect of holding a large amount of investiture, regardless of where it's from? If so, with Lift having all the stormlight from compounding, could she reach these heightenings and finally achieve agelessness like she's always wanted? 

Sorry for the punctuation and random line of thought, but does anyone have any ideas? Maybe there is other cool stuff she could do with the large amount of stormlight? Or am I completely wrong here

This is impossible, the deadmen have only a limited timeframe before their Mind and Soul got severed from the body. After that moment they are beyond recover and they reach the Beyond.

Healing a soul is something into her usual Power's scope so nothing relevant.

Healing a Cognitive Shadow is as far as we know impossibile for Realmatic reason.

Hardly to say, but the damage seems to be Cognitive and therefore beyond the Healing scope.

Stormlight's leaking is proportional to the amount held so over a certain treeshold you Will be unable to hold more as the leak Will become too great.

So nothing really extraordinary Will arose from having tons of stormlight.

 

Notice you could probably reach this point Simply draining Stormlight directly from the Storm wihtout the need of Nutrition compounding.

I would also point out that the Lord Ruler held the power of the WoA (albeit for a brief period) and still had to use Atium compounding to maintain his youth, with a bounded limit as to how long he would be able to continue doing so. Holding a large amount of Breath enhances one's spark of life or vitality, and reaching the 5th Heightening is the milestone at which this effect is maximized. So I think agelessness is is a quirk specific to Awakening and Breath.

The investiture of the Well of Ascension likely made him unaging while he held it. The is also strongly suggested by the bodies of Ati and Leras; neither showed the changes that the passage of millennia would show normally on humans. Once it was used up, the unaging stopped persisting, as the trace remnants of investiture on his expanded mind, body, and soul were not enough to maintain that effect. 

Overall, it seems to be a quality of holding large amounts of investiture, with some forms producing an unaging effect more easily possibly. That, or it is more that the 5th heightening involves more investiture in the body than the threshold of stormlight held.

I suppose that is possible, although we have no hard evidence that TLR stopped aging while holding the Well's power. I guess I was trying to emphasize that it is an inherent quality of breaths that endows agelessness, according to the Ars Arcanum, whereas Allomancy and Feruchemy require kinetic investiture to produce a similar effect
