Oh, the things we could theoretically do...

[Tacitus]

Just think of all the ridiculous thing we could do with investiture...

Feruchemical Armor

A suit of armor. On a feruchemist. It wouldn't even have to be solidly MADE of the metals. It could even just have metal plates inside.

\/

Feruchemical/shardplate armor. You have said feruchemical armor. Right. Then you put shardplate over it (Probably tapping strength...). Ta-da! Koloss-sized magical warrior OF DEATH

Nicrosil enhancement line (Konga line)

Bunch of nicrosil mistings. In a carefully timed pattern, they enhance each other, all leading up to a Mistborn, who burns duralumin and (Steel/Electrum/whatever). Konga line of death/ Spaceship with less work/ the diagram II, Electrum boogaloo)

Identity theft

This isn't even elaborate. I just thought it was funny. Spike someone's Connection, either to a person or to whatever. Then pretend to be them. (Even better, steal some of their relevant memory too.)

The diagram II, This time without electrum boogaloo

Zinc compounding. That's... It. (Although, If you wanted to, you could send people out to learn themselves on a particular subject, then spike those memories/intelligence from them)

Just Joking

Use Cadmium to store Breath (Yes, yes, I'm kidding)

I'm welcome to more additions to "The list of all the things we can do. (No Morals Allowed)"

With identity theft, why not just use a duralumin spike and literally spike Identity? Poor singers.

And Compounding in any form is going to have some very interesting effects. Imagine iron compounding (my favorite*), infinite weight for an infinitely strong Pull. In a space age, you could bring down spaceships, airplanes, all manner of UFOs, skyscrapers, and the Death Star.

on the coppermind it notes that with hemelurgy you could spike some one's boon and bane from the nightwatcher, and could also(but with more difficulty) steal just one. then, if you got a ton of loyal people, have them get nice boons from the nightwatcher, and have them wait while you spike them
