CleverCremling Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 Vin killed the Lord Ruler with a spear through the heart. "Then she raised the spear and rammed it directly into the Lord Ruler's heart." Two questions: 1- Has this spearhead been used as a hemalurgic spike by someone? 2- Would the power gained from the spike be stronger as the Lord Ruler's power was so strong? Apologies if this is a question answered long ago! Im new! 1

Not to our knowledge. 7 hours ago, CleverCremling said: 2- Would the power gained from the spike be stronger as the Lord Ruler's power was so strong? Perhaps but the point is moot as Vin did not yet know about hemolergy and she did not intend to spike out a piece of his soul
RShara she/her Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 Hemalurgy requires Intent and very precise placement. Vin wasn't intending to create a spike, nor did she know how to do it, so it is not a Hemalurgic spike at all. 2
CleverCremling Posted July 8, 2019 Author Posted July 8, 2019 Is that true? I thought the sword rammed through the heart of a thug, splintered and accidentally spiked Spook and gave him pewter

CleverCremling Posted July 8, 2019 Author Posted July 8, 2019 Ok got it. My argument is falling away here .BUT you might be able to argue that Vin was influenced by Ruin if she had he earring back in at that point. I just like the idea that Marsh took the spear a rammed it into his body after the fact.

I just like the idea that Marsh took the spear a rammed it into his body after the fact. And we see from Vin's PoV during that entire sequence, and Ruin isn't there. Ruin was quite literally controlling Quellion at the time.. 1
Numuhuku he/him Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 Doesn't hemalurgy require some what exact positioning with respect to the kind of metal being used? I didn't get the impression it was something you could easily do without some prior knowledge or experimentation. I don't think it particularly likely that Vin would have done it correctly by chance when killing the lord ruler.
CleverCremling Posted July 10, 2019 Author Posted July 10, 2019 Let's say Vin did want to create a hemalurgic spike from TLR. Would it be a more powerful spike over the spike of a regular Misting? Also its a nice coincidence that bands in the Bands of Mourning was the tip of the spear. 1

Assuming correct procedures were followed you can get a much stronger spike from him then anyone else. 1
