Could a Connecter store connection from other objects? If they could, might they be able to remove the connections from the land and the Investiture? like with stormlight, could the Ghostbloods then accomplish their goal?

Storing stormlight in metal is described as being hard. You can hide Breath in metal without needing to Awaken it but you don't need a metalmind for that because it's an inherent property of how BioChroma works. Aons aren't themselves a kind of Investiture you can store, instead they serve the same purpose that metal does on Scadrial in that it tells the Dor what you want the Investiture to do, except that AonDor is much more like computer programming while the allomantic metals are more like a program you run.

We do know you could potentially use feruchemy to give an Elantrian access to the Dor while far from the city (via Connection, which is F-Duralumin not F-Nicrosil) but it would involve jumping through hoops, you'd need to already be an Elantrian for that to work and Brandon says that would be the harder way to do it.

oof

hm...

potentially, yes, it could.  if you somehow had someone with access to nicrosil ferruchemy and surgebinding, they could store their ability to use surgebinding - though the exact details of what that would look like aren't 100% clear. also whoever tried to use it later would still need access to stormlight or some other form of investiture in order to fuel the surgebinding.

so, with that in mind, is both the ability and the... item is regarded both as investiture? so then if that's the case, could nicrosil also store things such as stormlight, and breaths, or even aons(or whatever the investiture is on sel)?

@ReturnedWell then what does it say if when they use nicrosil, they stored the ability of feruchemy with weight, and nicrosil stores investiture, is having the ability to use different forms of investiture means that they are always using investiture? for example, they are a surge binder, with nicrosil, would it store the ability to use said surge?

what system is Yolen placed in, or is it known?

did Cephandius (Hoid) ever appear in the white sand books?

in what different situations would you say "investiture", "invested", or "investing"?
