Yes it is more likely he kept it to use for other purposes. Example: Feruchemy, Hemalurgy (it's possible that Ruin can't easy exploit a Lerasium's SPike) or simply to make the Allomancy grows to the original level in the nobles.

Actually the Skimmer-ledger-Skimmer system has an external force who provide the energy, the Scadrial's gravity. It's not energy from nothing

I still think the three power limitation is about an Identity-problem, as far as we know in the Cosmerethe only "interference" is dictate exactly by the Identity. It's possible the limitation comes from a weak F-Allomancy (if it's gifted directly or indirectly with Hemalurgy), this mean you can't store ALL your Identity, but only a great amount of it. For a couple of power the cumulative Identity of all the donors isn't a problem but beyond a certain threeshold it will be too much to handle. EDIT: Probably my idea has some problems, a Trueself would be able to use almost all the medallion he wants...but I think the Southern will figure out very soon if this was the case (also if this may conncet with the Theory of "You can't create a Medallion that gift F-Alluminium")

Honestly I don't think Bavadin may comunicate with someone on Scadrial (as I don't think Harmony may send/recive message to his Kandra out of Scadrial). Secret History Spoiler: PS: Sazed said also, He is using his power to Shield Scadrial from outer influence, Bavadin will have hard time to enter Sazed's reign...Of couse we don't know if Sazed put the Shield before or after SoS. -
You may find it strange, but I think the AU and new WoBs add nothing to our Knowledge on the topic. Sure, now we have a in-world source for something we only speculated before. But we have almost no doubt with the main "new informations" before the AU was released. The Dor in the Cognitive, The CR's limits that press the Investiture together and made the whole place hyper satured and dangerous. Probably the only true new information is about the reason Splintered Shards are in the CR (but it's not really relevant to this topic), I for example until the recent WoBs believed that the Splintering of a Shard was performed pushing the Shard in the CR from the Spiritual and made the Realmatic Pressure splinter the power...now I know it's false. But about nothing we may use speculate about the Dor's birth....Honestly, I think you may be right (it's not impossible) but you had to add many exceptions and speculations to make it work. Without a single clue, I prefer an explaination that requites less out-of-canon ideas.

Yes I considerated it, but I try to figure it in this way (the main idea is a speculation): Feruchemy gives you the ability to sustain his own use while you tap an attribute. This means if you tap twice your Heat your temperature will rise to almost 75° and the feruchemy give you the ability to sustain 75° as if it is your normal temperature. Now begin the speculation. In this state, hot water at 70° will burn you ? Or your body would be protected ? If the answer is yes...this mean that your body would tollerate any temperature comparable to your own. Of course to stop or at least resist better to an actual fire, you have to tap tenfold or more your standard Heat...This mean an extreme consume of Feruchemical Charge. I repeat, it's just an idea but it is at least plausible
-
You know, the idea of a Shard (double but as a single "being") held by more than a Vessels is something really really speculative....In my own mind it is impossible, but of course I have no proofs...You may have so much Investiture to Ascend, but if someone else is the "owner" of that Investiture you can't reclame the godhood status for too much (as you can't remain godly with the Well of Ascension also if you try to keep the power without use it) The power of D&D is violent, unstable and dangerous compressed together in the Cognitive Realm. In the Spiritual nothing like that would happen probably, like none of the other Shards interact directly with each other in the Spiritual Realm
-
Of course this mean that Odium overcome something with quite twice his power...I don't say that is impossible, but if he as fear of Harmony and He need thousands of years to Splinter Honor. I don't think it's really a "uuuh the Dor, let's kill it"
-
Well they said they have really rare 4 powers Medallion. F-Brass, A-Brass, F-Alluminium, F-Nicrosil (I am unsure if the F-Nicrosil is actually part of the count of every medallion) is everything they need for unlimited unkeyed Heat. We have also to notice F-Allumin isn't needed in the same Medallion. The Heat may be generate by a compounder and another guy with F-Heat and F-Identity may remove the "Identity interference"
-
I think the FireParents are people equipped with the Ability to compound Heat for the whole comunity. Without the compounding I think it's impossible to generate enough Heat...much more from people with an extra Heat need in the first place. How they manage to have Heat compounder may be a good question, but a single Brass Misting and an F-Brass Spike may be probably enough to generate enough Heat for a comunity. Of course another possiblity is the Harmonium usage, but I think it would be less cheap as way and there is no need of a specific role as Firefather/Firemother.
-
Maybe in the case of really extreme temperature tapping from an Brassmind is a better option than Storing. The Heat resistence would be more useful I think. An hypotetical FireFighter may try to alternate store and tap in the circustances....Storing in a hot but not lethal situation and Tap in Lethal hot situation, this would give him also a way to manage the Heat charge in the Metalminds...Of course I don't know how much Heat you may safety tap from a Heatmind
-
Sure some little difference is possible, but I understood you wanted to point to a "deep gap" between Allomancers and regular Scadrialian and this is not. If you talk about of minimal difference I think it's possible...but probably less than the 1.1-1.3 you proposed (because if a Breath is less a 0,7.....0,1 is a valuable amount of Investiture). I wanted just to notice that consume a Lerasium bead didn't add the Lerasium's Investiture to your own. The Allomantic Lerasium works according to his effect (rewriting a Spirit Web through Connections's editing) and then is gone.
-
Nope, an Allomancer isn't more invested than a regular Native Scadiralan...They become more Invested only while they burn metals. They had the ability to obtain Investiture but of their own, they are not more Invested. Their Soul/Spirit-web is simply structured differently. There is an exception to this...an Allomancer who had an Hemalurgic Spike has actual an extra piece of Soul stuck in him and therefore is more Invested than other guy
-
I think the best description we have to try to figure if more powers may be stored in a single piece of Nicrosil, come directly from the main medallions used by Allik's crew (with 2 powers). When our characters examinate one of this medallion. They may without too much effort identify the tree sections they are made. One of Nicrosil to get the powers and a couple of different metals to an easy application of feruchemy gained through Nicrosil. This seriusly point to "more powers in a single Nicrosilmind". Another point is, if the powers were actually in different NicrosilMinds and you may access multiple (but limitated) number of them at the same time. It is really a stupid thing to bundle them together, it's better to made many single power medallions and put them in combos in your being.

It was a citation/joke https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiMHTK15Pik but in the end 35000 is over 9000
-
It's possible but Fjordel has a monastery to create skilled assassins. I will be a little disappointed to find them so uncapable. they were send to kill an Emperor, I imagine they will choose the top among their assassins...and the murder's outcome is quite lame if this the top Fjordel may use

As @Eki said Nalthis guys born with more Investiture in their soul that the average Cosmere's Human. Simply a part of this Investiture is transferable to other peoples (of course it is the Breath) this left them less Invested than a standard Cosmere's Human. As proof you may notice how a people who was a victim of Hemalurgy (He lost some of his Soul's Investiture) and manage to survive is something comparable to a Drab. You may imagine this with numerical example (of course the number aren't official or canon): Drab or Hemalurgy's Victim: 0,7 Regular Human (not from Nalthis or Scadrial): 1,0 Scadrial Guy: 1,2 (Scadrial people has a slight more Investiture than standard Human) Standard Nalthis guy: 1,4 (of course with a single Breath) Susebtron: OVER 9000!!! (sorry but I had to write it)

@FiveLate TLR didn't become an Allomancer as Side effect of holding the Well's Power. He actually used the Well's Power to change his own Spirit Web to obtain it. In the end He rebuild himself to be an Allomancer as strong as it is possible to be. Other users of the Well or also Preservation's Vessels (if they were alive) didn't become like him as side effect of using Preservation's power (but it's possible that if they are Scadrialian, The new forged Connection to Preservation will be enough to Snap as Allomancer I think)
-
Until now, the feat of have multiple Steel lines to a single object was a sign of a Steel/Iron Savant and the Kelsier's ability to made metal spin pushing-pulling in different point place him to an Steel and Iron Savant. Of course when we saw baby Wax do it something like that, this sign lost a great of his own meaning. Because a little Wax probably had not time to develop Savantism.
-
Actually some attributes may be stored to 100% without side effects, or to be more precise without harmful side effects. Wax for example usually store all his weight in the IronMind to exploit better his Steel or to push (not Push) himself away with a shotgun's shot. Of course it's possible he stores 99,999999999% of his weight but in the end, there is no way to know it.
-
I remember a theory about the Lerasium's Feruchemy that actual change the user's density...You made me remember that, it was a while I didn't think about
-
I think the same, Hoid is actual surprised to be able to hurt Kelsier....He also try to find (with success) the reason for this.
-
I am with Spoolofwhool here, It seems that more Stormlight is in a system and with more force it try to exit. Probably you can't go beyond a specific point where the Stormlight's leak is equal to your ability to absorb Stormlight.
-
Sliver has not a really noticiable amount of Investiture, probably they will count in the global amount of a shard, but nothing more than a regular magic user...so quite nothing. They BEFORE managed to held a lot of Investiture, but I think it would be still pretty nothing compared to a Shard
-
Actually this post is quite odd, I always thought that a Savantism may have bad side-effect (like we see with Spook) but that He has not to be always in that way. For example Copper Misting almost always became Savant without even notice it (yeah their coppercloud became greater but nothing they may notice)
