Just theoretically...


Question

Posted

Can you hemalurgically steal the ability to consume investiture from Larkin? Everything has sDNA, so... Any thoughts?

Theoretically, sure...

Another hemalurgy question: Is it possible to steal more than just spiritual DNA with hemalurgy? If you, say, infused someone with a hundred hemalurgic spikes charged from people who liked chicken, would the spike person enjoy chicken as well?

You can steal quite a lot with Hemalurgy. Anything encoded on a person's soul, really. Not sure if chicken liking counts, though...

Practically... Not sure how many Larkin you'd need to kill to figure out the right bindpoint/metal necessary, let alone where to place that in a person to grant the ability...

I mean, its Heart should be more or less universal with a big enough spike isn't it? so you could probably do it with just one, if it is doable.

Probably taking it via the heart is enough, but shoving that spike into the heart of a victim might not grant the desired result. Or any result. Depends on how the larkin's sDNA interacts and how they feast, be it a physical trait or other form of trait. I personally do not know what the larkins do with the investiture beyond consuming it (though it seems Chiri-Chiri uses it somewhat for growth) so that would probably have an effect.
