How to stop the fused

Yes. Of course. But why doesn't Odium just create more Fused? There must be a reason. The loss of Investiture doesn't hurt him much (like Earth isn't smaller if you throw a handful dirt into space). But somehow Odium wants to limit the amount of Investiture that is bound to Roshar. Thus, killing Fused with Nightblood doesn't hurt much, but may allow Odium to create new ones. Better to capture them somehow is what I mean...

I imagine that he does create new Fused when the opportunity arises. The issue is that he would need a singer that is worth making into a Fused, and who is willing.

Mistborn stuff

Spoiler

Judging from what happened with Kelsier and Preservation, the process of becoming a cognitive shadow is voluntary, so Rayse would need volunteers.

He is playing the long game remember he has to kill another 9 shards after wining on Roshar.

Yep, and Warbreaker spoiler:

The Returned are offered the opportunity and can refuse it. 

Threnody spoilers:

Shades probably are not offered the opportunity since there is no Shard there to offer it and people killed by shades become shades like in a zombie story.  They seem like an exception. Like some horrible cosmic accident from the planet getting showered with Ambition/Odium investiture during the fight in space between the two where Ambition was killed and Odium was wounded.

He's bound to Braize, not Roshar. He made the Fused before he was bound

Do we know that this was the order?

Dunno how else he'd manage to do it
