Kaj he/him Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 I read a few discussions and didn't find anything that really answered my question. My question is if I were a Nicrosil ferring, and a squire with the ability to breath in stormlight, could I breath in stormlight and store it in a nicrosilmind?
1 Kaj he/him Posted July 18, 2018 Author Posted July 18, 2018 Quote shoeties Since Stormlight and Breath are both investiture, would it be possible to use Nightblood with the former rather than the latter? Would it be possible to store Stormlight in metal using Feruchemy? Brandon Sanderson Mixing the magics is possible, but some are easier and more natural than other. Feeding Stormlight to Nightblood is easy. Storing stormlight in metal is tough. source Quote Question Could feruchemical Nicrosil be used to store other invested abilities, such as a Returned breath or the abilities of the Knights Radiant? Brandon Sanderson Yes, that's possible This is the answer I got from @Weltall.
2 Iridium Savant he/him Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 It appears the tentative answer is yes! https://wob.coppermind.net/events/5-dragoncon-2016/#e3236 Though if you look up and down on that list of WOB's you will see Brandon has been very tight lipped on exactly how Nicrosil works that way. I cannot wait until the next Mistborn book to learn more!
0 RShara she/her Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 It's been RAFO'd, but theoretically, it should be possible to store any type of investiture in nicrosil, assuming you have the ability to use them both.
0 Dunkum he/him Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 well bear in mind that the nicrosil minds wehave seen so far store the ability to use investiture. ie as a nicrosil ferring you could store the ability to use nicrosil ferruchemy. so it seems more likely that you would be able to store the surgebinding abilities rather than the stormlight itself. though obviously, per the above answers, there may be things we don't know about nicrosil ferruchemy that would allow it.
