I need to know if I'm missing something or if this just works. If someone were to be a Nicroburst Misting and Soulbearer Ferring would they not be able to gain infinite amounts of investiture? They could store some limited amount of investiture, eat the metal mind, and because of what we know regarding compounding, could end up with 10x the investiture they put in. Could they not then return the newly gained investiture into a new metal mind and repeat and therefore "farm" investiture. Furthermore does this not break the First Law of Investiture, "Investiture can not be created or destroyed. It follows it's own version of the laws of Thermodynamics.". And if it is not breaking this law would it just be taking more and more investiture from the Shards of Preservation and Ruin? What stops this person from taking all the investiture in the shard and effectively becoming the shard? I guess my question is do we know how exactly Nicrosil Compounders will work?

I at this point while helping a friend have in my opinion created the perfect Cosmere reading list so here's the order I'd recommend: Warbreaker Elantris Final Empire Well of Ascension Hero of Ages Alloy of Law Shadows of Self Bands of Mourning Mistborn Secret History Sixth of Dusk Emperor's Soul The Way of Kings Words of Radiance Edge Dancer Oathbringer Dawnshard Rhythm of War The Lost Metal Tress and the Emerald Sea People who have already read the cosmere may note that White Sand and Shadows for Silence are missing but I honestly don't know where to fit those two.
