Additional question I just thought of... Is Hemalurgy created by Ruin or something else? I know he's said Hemalurgy would work anywhere in the Cosmere... I can't imagine Ruin's reach being that far... and even less so once Harmony comes into play.

I assume that's the case, but Vin wasn't a Feruchemist, so it's possible she just couldn't channel it. TBH I wonder if you could compound any of the magical systems with another. So, compounding breath with Stormlight, or using an Emperor's Soul 'seal' on a metalmind. Probably not for most of them, as I assume compounding is related to Preservation having a hand in both Allomancy and Feruchemy... but there may be one or two interesting combos out there.

Hi all. Some of these have probably been answered but I didn't see them in the big list of answers. I am rereading the Mistborn stuff to help me run an Alloy of Law game and these questions popped into my head. Hopefully they can get asked at some point. Q. What exactly is the source of Feruchemy? Preservation creates Allomancers, and Hemalurgy appears to be universal, so it probably isn't caused by Ruin (possibly Odium? Getting off-topic) Anyway, is Feruchemy created by Preservation as well? Ruin? (unlikely) Or did the Terris people evolve it on their own? Q. Can a Compounder use metal that another Feruchemist has filled when compounding? Or does the Investiture need to be something they did themselves to provide the compounding effect? (I assume the latter) Q. If an Allomancer or Feruchemist had access to another form of Investiture, could that also be used to Compound? Or is it something specific to the relationship between these two magic systems? (Ex: burning metal that had been Awakened) Q. Would a person given an Allomantic or Feruchemical ability with a Hemalurgic spike be able to pass that ability to their children? And one last random question Q. Did Steel Inquisitors (or any Hemalurgist, really) need to tap gold constantly to keep from getting infections. Or is the ignoring of physical damage/infection a property of the spike?
