    And actually I don't know if they would get smarter over time. 

    Spoiler

    As we see from our glimpse into Shadesmar in OB, the lesser spren are little more than freaky magical animals. The radient spren, however, are smart, and have societies and what not. The Nahel bond doesn't grant them sapience, it just allows them to slowly regain what they had before jumping on over to the physical realm. 

    I could be like... Way off here, though. Makes sense to me, though.

    Mad scientists are emotionally unstable and scientifically brilliant.  Zinc, which implants emotional stability into the victim, would not produce such.  No, to create such a chimera, you'd need to steal their emotional stability (possibly in several places) and shove charged copper spikes into those holes (essentially replacing their emotional stability with expanded capacity for knowledge).  Possibly with a couple tin spikes to enhance their ability to glean information.  In addition, you'd need to give them the drive to create, and we don't even know if human creativity is transferable via Hemalurgy.  (it probably is, but it feels like it'd be more complicated than stab-em-and-go).  

    The way Hemalurgy works, as far as I understand, is the spike sorta latches on to the victims spirit web-- what makes them, them-- and rips off the corresponding chunk of whatever that latched on to. The possibilities here are endless. The spirit web is everything about somebody, including magic and stuff like that. So, stealing a Spren, or stealing BioChromatic Breath, is possible. I would imagine that, since the spirit web makes up everything that a person is, though not physically, creativity could be taken.

  8. Honor and Cultivation.

    in Cosmere Discussion

    I don't know if this has already been brought up, but I realized something. I was re-reading the Lift chapter in WoR, when I realized that Wyndle is referring to Cultivation as Mother. I thought that Spren were children, rather splinters, of Honor, so is it possible that Spren could be literal children of Honor and Cultivation? Or at least some Spren. Because we know that they were romantically involved, coming to Roshar. Or, like Feurochemy is a mix of Ruin and Preservation, maybe some orders of the Knights Radiant are a mix of Honor and Cultivation. Although, I am also pretty sure that the Old Magic is of Cultivation. Sorry... Not so much a theory, rather a bunch of thought provoking questions!
