Here's a selection of the various answers over the years. Spoiler Maru Nui What happens when you burn a Hemalurgic spike? Brandon Sanderson Burning a Hemalurgic spike would have the effect of splicing your spiritual DNA to that of the person's that is in the spike, which would have some very strange consequences. Tor.com Q&A with Brandon Sanderson (Jan. 10, 2011) Spoiler Czanos Would anything interesting happen if an Allomancer Burned a Hemalurgic spike, or a Feruchemist Tapped one? Brandon Sanderson Er, well, it’s possible. But you’d have to be burning a Hemalurgic spike that killed you and took your power… Just like you can’t gain anything by burning a metalmind unless you infused it yourself. #tweettheauthor 2009 (July 8, 2009) Spoiler Questioner Several of my friends play the [Mistborn] tabletop game, and we have a question, so, if you want to burn a metal Allomantically do you actually have to ingest it, or can it just be in your bloodstream, or-? Brandon Sanderson If it gets in there somehow, you can use it. Questioner So you can inhale something, or inject something ... what about spikes? Could you like burn a spike that was-? Brandon Sanderson Yes, you could, but not if it's Hemalurgically placed or Hemalurgically charged. But otherwise yes. If it gets in you-- I almost wrote a scene where someone got stabbed through the chest and they burned it. The problem is your metal also has to be of the right allomantic alloy. Words of Radiance Philadelphia signing (March 21, 2014) Spoiler 17th Shard Can you burn the spikes? Like, Allomantically? For example, could they burn the steel in their head spikes? Brandon Sanderson I considered that and I eventually decided that they could, but it would be an excruciating process that would probably knock them unconscious simply by doing it. 17th Shard Would they be able to tap? Brandon Sanderson Would they tap them? They can use them as metalminds, yes. 17th Shard Interview (Oct. 3, 2010) Spoiler Questioner (paraphrased) Would you be able to get any kind of additional power from burning a Hemalurgic spike? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) There would be power there, but you wouldn’t be able to access it. Like burning someone else’s metalmind. American Fork High School Signing (Dec. 12, 2019) Spoiler Questioner If you burn a Hemalurgic spike, would it graft the piece of stolen soul onto your soul? Brandon Sanderson No, but it would have... There are some interesting effects there. Shadows of Self Chicago signing (Oct. 12, 2015)
Immortal Platypus Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 So all I'm hearing is that I now have different (probably better) "powers" (and I use this term in a very general sense) than ya'll. Also, you now have one less cookie. Ha! I don't know what will happen to me I'm sure I'll be fine..... right?
Voidus Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 Yes, certainly you will. Now if you'll just follow me into this lovely Dark Alley we have a whole bakery full of cookies you can try. 1
Immortal Platypus Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 COOKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wait? a Dark Alley? That sounds suspiciously like asking to get spiked in the back... Ok, I'll come, but only if I have a guarantee that the spike won't be painful, and you have to go in front.
+ZincAboutIt she/her Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 We solemnly promise to only spike you in the front, then. Quite sporting of you really, so few actually want to watch. And while I personally find the sensation of pain all part of the well-rounded experience of hemalurgy, since you’re so accommodating you can just fill this tinmind and you won’t feel a thing. 1
18th Shard he/him Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 Disclaimer: Topologically speaking, there's only inside and outside. Your front is continuous with your back, and under appropriate spiking may not preserve the current proportions or shapes. Standard DA disclaimer applies. 1
Immortal Platypus Posted November 9, 2022 Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) I see. I don't need a tin mind. Also, only one spike. All rights reserved, terms may change at any point in time. If they do, blame my lawyer. Also, what spike will I be getting? This is necessary knowledge before I agree. Other than that, you should be fine. Also, I want a continuous supply of COOOKKIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited November 9, 2022 by ImportantQuestions
Exotic Almond he/him Posted December 16, 2022 Posted December 16, 2022 What kind of investiture was in those spikes and if there are not any powers in them then what are they trying to steal?
Voidus Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 Of course you may, we do love a guest with good manners. Have a whole box. 2

(My typing just died) Telrao happily takes a bit out of a cookie. "Ow!" She says, then continues chewing. "These are so tasty! You want one?" She picks up a piece of recently stomped ice and chews on it, crunching. "Mmmmm, a bit of extra street dirt. Excellent!" She takes another bite of the cookie, then shoves the rest in.

Quote I have never in my entire life heard anyone say "chip top" "You're absolutely right," says Silhouette. "They call me that top chip." He looks down. "I always felt so bad for the bottom chips.

EmulatonStromenkiin he/him Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 The Quarkbeast appears momentarily, crunches up a few of the scattered cookies thoughtfully, and vanishes.
