Here is what just happened to me (bruh):
My siblings and i went downstairs for a brunch break from homework. I went to the fridge and got the leftover gnocchi from last night, and heated it up in the microwave. then I set it down on the table (right next to the fridge) and turned to the fridge to find the grated parmesan. when i turned back, my 10 year old sister had scooped a generous amount of pasta from my tupperware and was now picking out all of the mushrooms from hers and putting them back into mine. now, i don't mind mushrooms, but i was a little pissed. there had been about one serving in the container to start, and that had now been diminished, and i was very hungry and had been looking forward to wholly nourishing myself. i picked up the tupperwear so she couldn't take any more.
anyway queue an explosion of screaming at me by little sis and also my little brother (???) about how she needed more and how she hadn't had any last night (she was literally at our cousins house having dinner there) and how i was being awful and selfish. they were making a huge racket, as was i in protest, and our cries reached my mother who was very concerned at our yelling (they were going i n s a n e). i started wolfing down the pasta cause i knew i was probably going to be made to give it over (i can never win an argument with my siblings in front of my mom. i'd hurt my voice.) and sure enough my brother ran to my mom and started screaming about how i was being selfish and not sharing (there was one o n e serving left oh my god it's not like we didn't have other food??? mom went to the gorcery store yesterday the fridge is fully stocked you guys can eat literally anything we own i just got the leftovers first. my fricking god). my sister kept running at me with a big spoon to try to scoop more gnocchi out of my container, and she kept poking me with it, and it was pretty much chaos. anyway sure enough mom made me let her take as much as she wanted and i was left with three gnocchis and some mushrooms. i consumed them quickly, shutting out the mean and upsetting comments and triumphant jeers from my siblings (epscially my brother??? like ????? you didn't even want any gnocchi! why are you treating me like this ????) and then i ran to my room really fast and breathed heavily for a couple minutes.
tbh i don't think i conveyed the upsetting-ness of the situation via writing. it was much more upsetting than it seems.
Anyway now i am A. mildy hungry B. mildly sick feeling (sometimes when i feel like crying my stomach tenses up instead and i feel ill) and C. rather pissed
ahahah little siblings are the best amirite
Bruh
Hahaha This is so true the little ones ALWAYS win the arguments even when they have absolutely no reason to be arguing. It is so unfair. Like WHY?

Just so you know, you're not supposed to post multiple times in a row. If you want to quote multiple posts, you can use the "Multiquote" button (It looks like a plus sign) next to the quote button. It's no big deal, but some people will get upset and it clutters the forums.
Oh, thank you for the warning

Questioner
Can Shardblades, dead or alive, be used as Hemalurgic spikes? And if attempted, what would the result be?
Brandon Sanderson
Technically yes, but in practicality no.
To use something as a Hemalurgic spike, it basically just needs to be able to already have a charge of Investiture, or be able to adopt one. Technically, Shardblades are made from a god metal. You could do this. But the Blade is gonna be big and unwieldy, and the form it’s in right now, it’s going to slice the soul rather than rip pieces off. You would have to jump through a bunch of hoops that wouldn’t be worth it in order to use one.
It would basically mean that you’d have to separate the metal of the Shardblade from the concept of a Shardblade itself, is what’s going on there.
^^^^^To answer your question about shardblade hemalurgy ^^^^^
Also I think if a mistborn where to bond a shard blade then they would probably have enough connection to burn it also I have a theory that tanavastiam and its alloys are meant to forge connections I think raisuim and its alloys are meant to steal different forms of investiture and so I think that raisuim and it alloys hemalurgicly might steal kinetic or passive investiture I think tanavastium might more perfectly steal connection also (TLM spoilers)
Very good points.

Hmmm what do we edgedancers think of music? What kinds? I know what I think, but I'm curious what music you all like.
I like either alternative (imagine dragons) or p electronic pop(Alan walker)

I think there is an easier way. Shardblade is already an alloy of two got metals, which explains why not everybody can burn them (like era 1 Atium was electrum-Atium alloy, that only a few selected ones could burn, not pure Atium). Alloy Lerasium with Shardblade or any god metal. What Lerasium does is forms a connection between you and Preservation, Lerasium alloyed with another god metal would form a connection with that other Shard. That's my theory, but there are WoBs of course to back it up.
Kaimipono
Allomancy is fueled by Preservation's body? How exactly does that work? And how does that interact with Atium—it's fueled by both gods' bodies?
Brandon Sanderson
The powers of Ruin and Preservation are Shards of Adonalsium, pieces of the power of creation itself. Allomancy, Hemalurgy, Feruchemy are manifestations of this power in mortal form, the ability to touch the powers of creation and use them. These metallic powers are how people's physical forms interpret the use of the Shard, though it's not the only possible way they could be interpreted or used. It's what the genetics and Realmatic interactions of Scadrial allow for, and has to do with the Spiritual, the Cognitive, and the Physical Realms.
Condensed 'essence' of these godly powers can act as super-fuel for Allomancy, Feruchemy, or really any of the powers. The form of that super fuel is important. In liquid form it's most potent, in gas form it's able to fuel Allomancy as if working as a metal. In physical form it is rigid and does one specific thing. In the case of atium, it allows sight into the future. In the case of concentrated Preservation, it gives one a permanent connection to the mists and the powers of creation. (I.e., it makes them an Allomancer.)
So when a person is burning metals, they aren't using Preservation's body as a fuel so to speak—though they are tapping into the powers of creation just slightly. When Vin burns the mists, however, she'd doing just that—using the essence of Preservation, the Shard of Adonalsium itself—to fuel Allomancy. Doing this, however, rips 'troughs' through her body. It's like forcing far too much pressure through a very small, fragile hose. That much power eventually vaporizes the corporeal host, which is acting as the block and forcing the power into a single type of conduit (Allomancy) and frees it to be more expansive.
Questioner (paraphrased)
What will an Atium-Lerasium Alloy do ?
Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)
Ah, I've been asked this before. There are a number of theories, but nobody's really sure, since there haven't really been any opportunities to alloy lerasium with atium. You can choose which one to believe. Most require an understanding of realmatic theory to comprehend, which you need to be a Shard or Splinter to even begin to understand.What Lerasium is, is essentially a hack for something like your spiritual DNA. It rewrites what your spiritual self is capable of. So, combined with atium, which allows you a glimpse into the vision of everything - past, present, future - the theories say it could do one of two things. It could either create a substance so volatile that it would have world-ending repercussions, or rewrite your "spiritual DNA" (his phrase, not mine) with atium's power. Is that a vague enough answer?
Stormlightning
If Hoid was to get his hands on "bavadinium," could he alloy it with lerasium and get Sand Mastery?
Brandon Sanderson
This is theoretically possible.
of course! that makes perfect sense, I wonder if in the future Scadrians will discover this and somehow figure out how to do this with (spoiler)

I think it's less about connection to a world, more about connection to investiture and a Shard, to which god metal belongs. Like WoB said "A Mistborn isn't likely to have a tie to that type of Investiture"
That makes even more sense and I'm thinking that theoretically in the far future of the cosmere, I can imagine that worlds and investiture will mix and perhaps there might be a few cases of someone being able to do this or maybe if powers were to mix then they might get diluted instead

I think that godmetals can only be used if they have a connection to that world on some way.
That makes sense. I'm probably wrong but if a bondsmith were to forge a connection between the world and the person could that person use the metals then?

This is The Lost Metal spoiler. It's not allowed here yet. Delete it or put it in a spoiler tag.
It's possible to burn a Shardblade/Shardplate, and it would do something Allomanticaly, but Mistborn doesn't have a connection to that type of Investiture, so he can't burn them just like that.
Questioner
If a Mistborn were to burn a piece of a Shardblade, what would happen?
Brandon Sanderson
This would be hard to make happen, but it would be possible. A Shardblade is going to act as, basically, an alloy of the god metal of Honor and so what would it do? RAFO, but it is possible and it would do something. It would not be inert. It would be Allomanticaly viable.
Footnote: This question was also addressed here.
Starsight Release Party (Nov. 26, 2019)word_thief
What would happen if a Mistborn ingested the metal of a Shardblade/Plate?
Brandon Sanderson
A Shardblade is Invested. A Mistborn isn't likely to have a tie to that type of Investiture. So probably nothing would happen…
About Shardblades being hemalurgic spikes, I don't think it matters that they are blades already, they will act like other god metal spikes and do something more than regular spikes.
About the Dor, I don't think its god metal is an alloy of Devotion's and Dominion's god metals, Dor is a mix of their investiture, so it would be closer to Harmony and Harmonium, which isn't an alloy of Atium and Lerasium.
Thank you for the spoiler warning I'll fix that and also you're right about The Dor.

You are asking the right questions.
There are conflicting WOBs on whether it would take additional steps to let a Mistborn burn foriegn Godmetals, but past any such hurdles it should be possible. Literally no idea what any of the metals might do allomantically, let alone Hemalurgically or feruchemically. We're told that Dor in the form of Purified Dor (basically a godmetal) would just be a super-efficient energy source for a misting's normal powers (which implies it would be a somewhat universal metal for a mistborn).
It is worth noting that the Spiritual Damage is specific to shardblades and is not an innate ability of Tanavstium or Koravellium godmetals, since broken chunks of Shardplate wont do it.
Good point about the shardblades and The Dor.

Spren Hion?
in Cosmere Discussion
Posted · Edited by Edgedancer74
So I finished Yumi and while I was reading I noticed that the spirits seem to be similar to spren. This left me wondering if bound spren could be turned into something similar to hion lines.
