Does Aluminum Glow in the Scadrial Cognitive Realm Like Other Metals?

[MasterK-Bob he/him]

I tried to search WOBS but couldn't find this: does Aluminum Glow in the Scadrial Cognitive Realm Like Other Metals? If you etched a message in aluminum foil, could Harmony, or a being in the cognitive realm read it?

I dont think it would.
I think Aluminum is like a drain back to the Spiritual Realm, and the metals only glowed because the power in the Spiritual is trying to get through and into the Cognitive/Physical.

power isnt trying to get through the Aluminum Like other metals, so it shouldn’t glow. I dont think

The problem is that it does flow through Aluminum since it can be used in every metallic art. This is the problem with the Metallic arts. There are exceptions built in to it that don't apply anywhere  else.

metals glow with the metallic arts because, the metal is the key the the power in the Spiritual realm. And that power is trying to get through the metal, which makes it glow.

with Aluminum, your not drawing power from the spiritual realm. It may involve the spiritual realm, but i dont think its drawing power from there, like it would with other metals

From all that I have read there has been no evidence that burning Aluminum does not draw power from the Spiritual Realm. The only Metals that we know of that draw power from somewhere else besides the Spiritual Realm are the God Metals. The Investiture is coming directly from the Metal itself. All others are drawing power from Preservation through the Spiritual Realm and is being filtered through the metal to give an effect.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Instead of aluminum drawing power from the spiritual realm, pulls it back or possibly repels it. But, I do not know if that would make it glow in the Cognitive realm.

Could be that it glows with dark power (like Voidlight) because it drains metal reserves,instead of enhancing them like normal metals...
