@Gderu, I find identity vs connection very confusing. Is light connected to its source like a radiant to their spren? Or is it part of their identity? Maybe the answer to pure investiture doesn't require magic at all and all you need is an aluminum vacuum tube and the tone of Adonalsium. I'm looking at a feruchemy chart that is saying Dualumin can be tapped to seedily form trust relationships. A Connecter Ferring could bond a small army of spren with ease. But storing connection would then be problematic for the bonded spren. They'd start to lose their minds like Syl in Words of Radiance. An evil Ferring could kill a lot of spren that way. Sounds like a great late cosmere villain to me.

Aluminum can be used to store identity and create unkeyed metal minds. So, can someone breath in light and use aluminum to store the light's identity? Could that produce pure investiture? Could that light be transported anywhere in the Cosmere and be used to power any magic system? What if a cognitive shadow was created when invested with light with no identity? Could they travel anywhere? I am new to the forum. Sorry if this has already been discussed.
