Dapper Phoenix she/her Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 This idea came to me as I was listening to Swedish war metal on my way home from work. Is it hemalurgically possible to steal abilities from someone who had not yet had the chance to use/manifest them... such as a baby? In a similar vein, could you spike a pregnant woman through her stomach and (with enough precision) transfer her abilities directly to her baby? What would spiking a person that young even do to them? If both the woman and the baby had abilities and you spiked the woman, whose abilities would you get? How far from the baby do you have to spike to make sure you get the woman’s... you know what, I didn’t mean to get this close to political debate. Sorry.
Quantus he/him Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 Yes, entirely. Vin's Earring took powers from a baby. It is confirmed that you cannot steal with an already charged spike, If you tried to spike into a baby pre-birth, it would either steal something (roll of the dice) from the mother and kill her, and implant it into the baby, or else miss the mother's bind points and steal something from the baby (likely killing both).

On the plus side, that’s a great method for ethical hemalurgy - stab embryos in Petri dishes. (Assuming one has no issues with using excess embryos for science, which I don’t.)

Nope, I’ll keep it to the thread about ‘when is it okay to use hemalurgy.’ I’m just surprised Brandon opened that door at all.
Going_North_cal Posted December 10, 2021 Posted December 10, 2021 We not gonna talk about perhaps not the physical bindpoints, but the spiritual bindpoints? Which is why it works when it does? 1
