HSuperLee he/him Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Savantism is a warping of the spiritweb, which is a bit more than just an addiction. Savantism likely is possible to heal, but it would need to be done by restoring the spiritweb to a more natural state. Considering that things like gold healing come from comparing the body to the spiritweb, that makes it more difficult to heal the spiritweb itself than just applying a healing source or taking away the metal. I suspect hemalurgy might actually be the best way to repair savantism, though that comes with its own damage. It would be quite like surgery, where you're attempting to do minor harm to the body in order to facilitate major healing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne's Unlucky Hat he/him Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 ALERT STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE SPOILER Spoiler I think that Cultivation could possibly instantly reverse the effects of savantism similar to repairing dead-eye spren 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cometaryorbit Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Shardic power can do it - Sazed repairs Spook's savantism at the end of HoA. Otherwise... probably not, at least without knowledge way beyond what anyone has. Hemalurgy principles might get there someday, but Hemalurgy as we know it is inherently Ruinous. Perhaps there'd be an Era 4 way to do it with multiple magic systems and multiple worlds' knowledge interacting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alder24 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Can Identity manimulation trick your spirit web into thinking it should look like someone's else spirit web - like feruchemist storing his identity and taking someone else's one? Maybe with some connection manipulation? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe with some connection manipulation? I imagine even if you could put somebody else's Identity in place after blanking your own, the result would be like a fun house mirror: A distorted identity laid over a warped and deformed spiritweb (i.e. changing identity wouldn't repair the spirit web deformities since ID is only 1 "node" on the spirit web, rather than your spirit web being a component of your ID).
