    It's an interesting question. As Stormblessed says, it would be hard to muster enough breaths together to even have nay effect due to how invested a shardblade is, but The Godking probably has enough. so If Susebron, in a fit of impiety, decided to burn through his hoard of breaths in order to awaken a shardblade, what would happen? I honestly don't know. for one thing Shardblades are, or at least were, sapient beings, and based on what we have seen of them in Shadesmar, they are almost certainly not dead, precisely. I don't think we have seen a case, other than granting breath to another person, of someone trying to awaken another already living thing. It's not clear that such a thing is even possible. but it also isn't 100% clear that such a restriction would apply to a spren/shardblade - they aren't exactly living things in the biological sense, at least not in the physical realm.

    Thug healing ability

    Dunkum replied to Tren's question in Cosmere Q&A

    not 100% positive, but I'm Pretty sure pewter is pure physical healing too - the enhanced healing comes from general enhancements to physical condition. Shardblade wounds are definitely more than just physical, so I'm not sure pewter would even have the ability to affect them

    in the era 2 mistborn books we see some of the effects of Duralumin, Nicrosil, and Aluminum. I can tell you more now, if you would like, but you'll get a lot of info just from reading the era 2 books, most especially Bands Of Mourning. as to Chromium - we don't have a lot of info on Fortune, but what I can find tends to be more like predicting the future. so like access to fortune tends to help you direct yourself to where you need to be. one of the better theories on how Hoid chooses where to go is that he has access to Fortune somehow or other.

    purely speculation, but I think if you were able to specifically spike a Breath out of a person, that that might decay slower - though it seems like it should also be harder to do, since breaths are stickier. but I think just a generic spike for like strength or speed or some such would decay at the normal rate.
  5. Dunkum
    well if its spiked in you yea. but it doesn't have to be.
  6. Dunkum
    I'd assume that you could burn one that had no identity, though creating such a thing would be troublesome. possibly by spiking someone while they are storing Identity. or a hemalurgist could theoretically spike Identity out of their subject and still keep them alive long enough to spike something else out, but I don't think we've seen anyone who knows how to do that.

    got to get to hm first. i've personally never even gotten close fair enough, but for my money BotW may be worth it. plus sooner or later BotW 2 is coming out, though I guess that may end up on like a next generation Switch at this point. you could always get the much-derided Wii U. almost certainly cheaper, and with access to BotW, Twilight Princess HD, Wind Waker HD, plus, on the virtual console, Majoras mask, Ocarina of Time, Minish Cap, plus a bunch of other SNES and N64 games if you don't want to focus just on Zelda. that latter is what I did several years back

    for prosthetic limbs, they might even be able to use the original bone if it is in OK shape
  9. Dunkum
    My guess would be that there is a lower bound on Kandra mass, so impersonating just a limb or organ likely wouldn't work. also, if your plan is to fool the person into thinking they are still whole, that includes a bunch of additional complications. all in all, I don't think this is really viable
  10. Dunkum
    yea, the payoff for the darker stuff is absolutely worth it, but it definitely makes it harder to read the early chapters. I liked RoW ,but it was definitely the hardest book to get through so far.
  11. Dunkum
    Well, I'd imagine that it would make them a target for actual mistborn, at which point they'd be dead. And to be clear, I just mean this in the sense that if some noble Family saw its plans being undone by a guy in a mistcloak smashing in doors with pewter-enhanced strength, then they would assume he s an actual mistborn and deploy whatever anti-mistborn measures they have against him, including their own mistborn, if available, and the poor delusional Thug would not have a chance.

    I think you have 2 possible problems: 1 we don't know if the metal of the shardbade is the right proportions for use in the Metallic Arts as CryZenith point out. It isn't clear what the shardblades are made of but various theories suggest that the different radiant spren have different levels of Honor and Preservation's power (i.e. HonorSpren are 100% Honor, or close too it, CultivationSpren being 100% cultivation and he rest being some percentage of the 2) as a result the thought is that their respective shardblades must be alloys of the honor and cultivation godmetals in varying mixes. but since the Metallic Arts require specific blends for their alloys, it wouldn't be clear if any of the blades would qualify 2. shardblades are heavily invested, which would theoretically make them harder to use as metalminds. Atium and Lerasium should be similarly invested, but we know they can be used, so perhaps this isn't as big of a problem as it would seem, but then Atium and Lerasium don't have their own sapent entity attached to them like the spren (including deadeyes) to a shardblade.

    Reasonably certain that Dalinar's ability to create that perpendicularity comes directly from his bond with the Stormfather, who is the largest remaining piece of Honor. So I don't think you'd be able to replicate it through simple Connection.
  14. Dunkum
    In theory you could awaken just about anything with enough breath. but it would take a lot, and that much investiture would definitely interfere with using it for other purposes. it might till be possible, but I would bet against it.
  15. Dunkum
    Pigs or Goats, I could see doing OK, though not necessarily thriving.
  16. Dunkum
    if it was bright enough and she pulled in little enough stormlight, the glow wouldn't necessarily have been noticeable. i don't recall enough of the specifics of the scene to say.
  17. Dunkum
    yea Aon-Dor could probably manage it, but I doubt Hemalurgy could
  18. Dunkum
    I think you'd need to re-spike yourself periodically, since each spike would still be tied to a specific time, but based on that WoB I think it could work.
  19. Dunkum
    Chicken, Beef, pork, and non-Ryshadium horses are all pretty much limited to Shinovar. the rest of the world is too rough for them, so that makes them a lot rarer and more expensive. other than that, Fish still seem to be plentiful, so coastal areas would eat those, though probably not raise them. but yea in genera, exect that meat products are going to be more crustacean
  20. Dunkum
    not sure if you'd even need raysium. when Dalinar opens Honor's perpendicularity it automatically fills nearby gems. granted that one is already primed to generate stormlight whihc the gems can already hold, but its suggestive
  21. Dunkum
    I could definitely be misremembering, and even without that I'd probably be at least 70% or so in favor of the interpretation that A-copper would disrupt that automatically, just wanted to hedge a bit because I am not 100%. I do use the word disrupt deliberately there, because I think a Radiant, at least, could pump in enough investiture to overcome the coppercloud, but it would take more than normal
  22. Dunkum
    not finding the WoB right now, but i vaguely recall one suggesting that a seeker would need to be a savant to detect other types of investiture beyond allomancy, and something similar for aluminum savants being able to remove other types, so i'm extending from that to the possibility that a coppercloud is sort of tuned to allomancy and might need something extra, such as savantism, to affect other types of investiture. but that's pure speculation, it might work fine as is.
  23. Dunkum
    this should work, though you might need to be savant to extend the copper effects beyond allomancy (but then, in era 1 mistborn at least, most copperclouds likely are savants just from trying to avoid detection as mistings)
  24. Dunkum
    I believe this would work. it would be a bit harder to use as a metalmind since the forged object would already be invested, but forgery uses relatively little investiture, so it shouldn't be too much harder. as to what happens to the investiture when the seal is removed, that's a bit trickier. we have an answer for soulcasting a metalmind that would probably apply here as well: but i'm not 100% certain since forgery overwrites an object's history, and now you are messing with pseudo-time-travel questions. I think the investiture would stay in place and just be inaccessible, but i can't shake the feeling that removing the seal would retroactively remove the investiture because it wouldn't be possible for it to have been placed there in the first place. EDIT: I did find another WoB (though I didn't copy it) suggesting that burning a forged metal would work until the stamp was broken and the forgery reversed, so using it as a metalmind should work too, though again with some interference from the investiture of the forgery itself.
  25. Dunkum
    technically, but she couldn't repeat it. so doesn't count.
