  1. I can see that there are probably more steps involved to turn the Investiture from burning a metal into a form you can use for powering surges but I still think it's reasonably possible. I do think it's much easier to power surges with Investiture from Scadrial than to power metalborn abilities with Investiture from Roshar. Knight Radiants are already taking a form of raw Investiture and using that, a Mistborn and a Feruchemist aren't, they are definitely doing something much more complicated. It seems like the powers are there Sanderson just hasn't given us enough information to know exactly the process yet.
  2. I mean if someone who is already a Feruchemist bonds a spren can they use the Investiture they store in a nicrosil metal mind? If you are storing the piece of Investiture that grants abilities I agree that you wouldn't be able to. I just have imaged it more like how when you store energy with bendalloy you are really storing the energy in food which you use to fuel your body after your body has turned it into an energy it can use. So you take in Investiture in some way and store it in a form your body can than use later on. I can see that it would be more complicated to turn that Investiture into something another Knight Radiant can use. So ignoring the whole identity stuff could you use your own Investiture that you store in your own nicrosil metalmind to power surges that you already have access to?
  3. I have been trying to think of ways to fuel surge binding with no access to stormlight. These steps are what I've came up with so far. Would this work? If it won't work what would be stopping it from doing so? 1. Be a Twinborn full Feruchemist and steel Misting. (Technically any Misting aside from an aluminum Misting.) 2. Store Identity in aluminum. 3. Burn steel. (While continuing to store Identity.) 4. Store the Investiture from the burning steel in nicrosil instead of using it. (Side questions. What can another Feruchemist do with this? Also would a Mistborn/ Misting burning Identity free Investiture filled nicrosil be able to super charge another's allomancy beyond regular nicrosil?) 5. If a knight radiant as well tap Investiture filled metal mind to fuel surge binding. 6. Infuse gem with Identity free Investiture. 7. Give to another Knight Radiant to fuel their surge binding.
  4. I have always been under the impression that a given living shard blade weighs the same no matter the shape, hence you might as well make it big. It is a Spren manifesting themselves physically, so in my opinion, it should be the same weight regardless. Am I correct in assuming this or is there evidence to the contrary?
  5. Thanks everyone! This went places I didn't expect and definitely answered my question.
  6. So I can see how almost all forms of magic in the cosmere could be fueled by other forms of Investiture, such as purified Dor. Do we know if this is possible with Feruchemy? Would you need something else such as a spike of some sort?
  7. Not sure what to put here, so just say hi. P.s. I have read all of the officially published cosmere works, I have not read things such as Dragonsteel or Way of Kings prime.
