The only problem with what you are proposing is that nothing that the Unmade are doing has a physical influence. Showing visions, and inducing a bloodlust, are cognitive and spiritual changes. In addition, physical manifestation doesn't mean that you can see them in the physical realm, it means that they actually have a physical body, like when spren are manifested physically as a shardblade.

This WoB seems to be explicitly saying he only had one spike/one hemalurgic enhancement.

I'm defining abilities, as it only being able to store the ability to use a manifestation of investiture. In other words, it can only store the innate investiture related to using magic, if you want to be colloquial. Saying it can store innate investiture is just too vague based on the information we have, as that would bound it into the domains of other branches of feruchemy. That's why I think that it should be more precisely defined based on the information we have, unless we receive new information that tells us differently.

Zane had a single spike and it enhanced his allomantic steel ability, allowing him to rotate while hovering and pushing only on a single boxing. He was mistborn independent of that.

I meant to say this awhile ago, but why are you separating "The" and "Parshendi"? Doesn't it make more sense as a complete thought that they would go together? You be ignoring the "capitalization is the start of a new line" rule since Parshendi is a name for a group of people, just like Alethi.

Exactly my point. An example of the last point being Straff Venture, a Tineye, fathering Zane, a Mistborn.

Except it's not misleading since we actually have no idea whether it is possible to store human attributes, since all evidence points to it only being able to store the ability use a manifestation of investiture. In addition, if it could store human attribute, it would immediately become better than a number of other branches of feruchemy, since physical strength, memories, and a few others are human attributes. In other words, nicrosil feruchemy would be automatically better than pewter feruchemy since it would be able to store a much larger range of attributes. This is why I think that Nicrosil can only store innate investiture relating to the use of manifestations of investiture.

It wasn't in the books, it was from Brandon telling us.

I'll reiterate, the bond is physical contact when the honorblade is materialized in the physical realm, but if dismissed it remains bonded to whoever dismissed it, granting them powers.

It is updated. That's why I'm telling you. It was updated with the last couple days, I think yesterday.

Brandon didn't actually say that would look weird. The weird comment in parentheses, now removed from the WoB, was a comment made by the person who asked the question.

Thanks. Weird, it's not recent at all and has been around for as long as I've been on the shard and it's the first I've seen it.

I ran a search of the forum and nothing pertinent came up. I'm going to take your word with a grain of salt unless something comes up, considering how close-lipped Brandon has been about it.

AU Signings? You have a link?

Note that we don't know whether the name of Endowment's vessel is Edgli, so it probably isn't best to refer to Endowment by that name. Unless there has been a recent WoB?

Wax and Wayne is Era 2, there will be 4 Mistborn Eras in total. I doubt that Sazed changed how the manifestations of investiture work on people. I feel like that would require a reinvestment of Scadrial which would break everything. Spiritual DNA genetics and inheritance gets a bit patchy when hemalurgy is involved.

"Circles within circles, I fall forever, escaping the madness, the escape forever falling, I circle within circles." I made this up in a couple minutes. Not that good really and I had to turn a noun into a verb to make it work. Oh well.

They'd probably just heal any radiation damage.

Too valuable. You have to trade things you hold worthless for chickens which Shin hold to be worthless and I don't think Rysn would find an Honorblade to be worthless. Possibly, but the fact that Hoid was there is a pretty good clue that there is something going on with that man.

Basically, this.

Yeah, the WoB that Pagerunner provided shows that it really isn't a relevant detail.

There is not, as far as I'm aware.

Sentience is the ability to act in response to outside stimuli. Most animals as such are sentient. Example being a cat outside feels a rain drop fall on it and knows to go inside to avoid getting soaked, due to past experience. (Edited because phrasing implied more sapience than sentience) Sapience is the ability to reason using the stimuli given and create extrapolations, which most animals cannot do. In other words, it's the ability to affect judgment based on your observations. Sentience is usually incorrectly used in a lot of literature in place of sapience.

I was under the impression that he was motivated by Gavilar's death, but that was sourced from Gavilar confiding in him, so yes.
