No. Metalborn can use his power anywhere, because they are genetic, but this mean he can burn metals/store in metals anywhere and draw power from Preservation anywhere. Not because they can just pick any Investiture. You need Connection to Shard to use its Investiture, in Scadrian and Roshar systems. Radiant need bond a Spren. Metalborn need to be born with it. There are tricks allowing You to convert one Investiture into another, but they are very limited in-world yet. For example, Vasher can feed on Stormight instead of Breaths, but he cant figure out, how to Awaken with Stormlight. Venli is able to use Voidlight and Stormlight only because she is RegalRadiant (connected to both Odium and Honor). Without Strong Connection to Honor you cannot breath Stormlight. 15 minutes ago, BenduLuke said: Harmony is aware of Roshar and can influence anyone with more than 1 spike and can communicate with anyone who has even a single spike.

ScadrianTank he/him Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) @Bzhydack It seems that you can use different Investiture to fuel different forms of magic. Although, as of Era 2, it seems that the best use for it would be in magical mechanisms where Stormlight might be preferable for some reason, like in South Scadrial Technology. However, using other Investiture to fuel a personal use of an Invested Art seems pointless in all cases except the Dor. Spoiler Kimbobhi Is it possible to Surgebind using gaseous Investiture other than Roshar's? Brandon Sanderson So here's the thing. It depends on your definition of Surgebinding. Surgebinding would be the Rosharan definition of all of the magics. They would call the Metallic Arts Surgebinding. You are binding the powers of creation, which the word "Surge" is that word translated from Rosharan into English, that's what the word means in Rosharan, is the powers of creation. The fundamental forces which inspired me to make this. So they would consider all of them to be Surgebinding. And that's just what you're doing, you are binding and using those powers. Other people, including Khriss, would not agree with that definition. They would say: Surgebinding is specifically binding, through the Nahel bond, the spren, the specific manifestations of Investiture on Roshar, by using specific sets of oaths in order to gain access to those powers. So she would say: no, that is not Surgebinding when someone uses Allomancy. I would lean with her on that one, but the other one's a viable definition. What you're really asking is, can someone, one of the Rosharan, the Knightly Radiant Orders, could they power that with a different form of Investiture from a different planet? And yes, this is possible, though there might be some difficulties in making it work, which I haven't explained entirely yet. But yes, this is possible. In fact, it is possible to power all of the different magics with the different forms of Investiture. That is a possibility This is one of the reasons why Mraize and Thaidakar are so interested in Stormlight. Because if you could get Stormlight off, and you can crack that... just way easier to get Stormlight than it is to get the other ones. Like Breath, you could consider easy, but hard to morally harvest; in fact, perhaps impossible. If you want ethical, sustainable magic, then Roshar is a much better bet than some of the other places that you could... Adam Horne Does that mean Mraize and [Thaidakar] want an ethically sustainable...? Brandon Sanderson They're really interested in the sustainable part. I would say that they both would say "yes" to that question. They would consider their actions to be, on an ethical spectrum, at least in the neutral area, perhaps. Others would disagree with that. Adam Horne Where would they fall, philosophically speaking, like Kantianism, or? Brandon Sanderson I'd have to think about that. That's a good question. Certainly not as far on the utilitarianism side as someone like Taravangian, who's about as far as you can go. But Jasnah is pretty far on that side, also. Though she considers her version more of a "what is the greatest good I can do with any action I take?" (Which one is that? It's not Kantian, but you know what I mean.) That is a little on the utilitarian side. Not a little, that's... not as far as Taravangian, but that's definitely, yeah. They would maybe be in between those two, maybe. Depends. They're not the same individual, they would have different lines. There's gonna be (let's just say) future books that explore Thaidakar's relationship with that. But you have seen in other books the lengths that Thaidakar is willing to take in order to achieve his goals. He is not far off from Taravangian in some of those things that he has done.

No, you still need Connecton to particular Shard, unless you somehow solve this problem (what is very hard). And you need Focus of specific magic system. One more time, electicity analogy. You need matching plug and outlet, as well as matching voltage and amperage. So to use Investiture you are not Connected to, yoou need some sheninganings, but those are unknown yet. But some magic Systems are easier to crack than Others, for example, Aviars can be used by anyone, and SandMastery can be used with any free floating Investiture (we saw Sand charged by Stormlight), but is genetic as Allomancy/Feruchemy. And you still need Connection to the Shard what provides this powers. And those are Autonomy magic systems. Also, Hemalurgy can be used by anyone, anywhere, anytime, all you need is proper spike and Intent (but Hemalurgy probably feeds on victims Innate Investiture).

What makes you think Metalborn are barely invested? I think the stronger your connection to Preservation - Harmony the more efficiently you can use mist, but all metal born can at some level. I think the sudden loss of investiture, dissolving Shardplate, ineffective surges or shardblade, would provide enough shock for a lethal strike opening by almost anyone. If the KR survived the shock and strike they would still need to adjust to their loss of capability in their fighting providing yet more opportunity to be killed by a highly skilled opponent. In other words the shock and handicap in the KR would give them a significant disadvantage in a fight with a highly skilled opponent. 19 hours ago, Bzhydack said: No, you still need Connecton to particular Shard, unless you somehow solve this problem (what is very hard).

To use Rosharan surges you do need a connection to one of the shards of that world, but to use metal born abilities any fuel will do. The lights of Roshar are generic fuel. Hemalurgy can steal abilities from any magic system if you know precisely where on the body to pierce and what metal to use. Then the spike needs to be placed in exactly the right place to extract the ability for use, and it must be done before the stolen investiture evaporates. Hemalurgy disrupts a person's spirit web. You are right that anyone could potentially use Hemalurgy, however obtaining abilities with it usually requires killing the person with the original ability. It also always leaves holes in the spirit web of anyone who uses it or anyone it is used upon which is why they are vulnerable to emotional attacks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Skyward Seattle signing (Nov. 10, 2018) #93 Share Copy Play/Pause Questioner The people on Scadrial have innate Investiture from Preservation. If someone from another planet, say Roshar, were to get Allomancy, from Hemalurgy or Feruchemy, would that person have to have Stormlight as well as the metal in order to do their-- Brandon Sanderson No, good question. They would just need the metal if you were Hemalurgically getting the ability. Remember, Hemalurgy is basically ripping off a piece of someone else's soul and stapling it to yours. Short circuiting the soul, so to speak... All the pieces of the soul you would need, it is giving you. It has dangerous ramifications, but you wouldn't need Stormlight also. Quote Figment chat (Jan. 19, 2015) #102 Share Copy Andrew Does Allomancy work the same way when someone has left the planet? Brandon Sanderson Uhhhhhhhm, generally... yes. But it seems you can power Feruchemy with other power, but still you need to figure out how: Quote LTUE 2020 (Feb. 15, 2020) #417 Share Copy Play/Pause Questioner As far as the Lord Ruler goes, how did he use the Twinborn thing? Feruchemy and Allomancy? Brandon Sanderson What he had to figure out how to do is: Allomancy is powered by Spiritual power directly from the Shard of Adonalsium. Whereas Feruchemy is powered by your own Investiture and effort being transferred into the thing. What he needed to do was figure out a way to power Feruchemy with Allomantic power, right? You could have done the same thing by fueling it with the Dor, or with Stormlight, or another external. But he only had access to three magics. So what he had to do was figure out that. So what he's doing is, he's basically taking metals, (since he's a Feruchemist and an allomancers), and he is burning metals that he has Invested himself, but then using... basically, switching it so he gets a burst of Allomantic power that is charged with a Feruchemical attribute. So it's powering Feruchemy with Allomancy by burning the metal that he himself has Invested. Questioner So he was essentially putting stuff into the metal? Brandon Sanderson Basically, priming the pump. He puts it in with Feruchemy. Then he burns it with Allomancy. But that fuels Feruchemy with Allomancy, which allows him to draw on the powers of the Shards, rather than himself. So it's not really a perpetual motion machine, because he's drawing the power from someone else. But it's external, which allows him to break the rules of Feruchemy. The big question I have is: that works in the book, because you can dig into the technicalities of the book. But that's not gonna work in the movie, right? That explanation right there, that's so many levels over the heads of the audience. So I have to figure out a way to not break the cosmere magic, but make it simpler to understand in the movie. Which is the big headache in writing the screenplay. That's probably the biggest challenge in the screenplay is to figure out how to make that all work. And about Metalborn being Invested: Quote Stormlight Three Update #5 (Nov. 20, 2016) #338 Nov. 20, 2016 Share Copy H4rg I would have a question about Soulcasting: is Soulcasting an Invested object harder ? And if it is a human (let's say, an Allomancer) but he is not burning any metal, would he be as easy as Soulcast as any "normal" person ? Brandon Sanderson It is harder to Soulcast an Invested object, but Soulcasters--by their nature--are used to dealing with this. When Allomancers aren't burning metal, they are not considered highly-Invested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honorless he/him Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) It really is a shame that we never got to see a Mistborn using all the metals, and the only Fullborn we see died from arrogance. I think Roshar undoubtedly has the edge in open warfare, but maybe medallions / Southern Scadrian tech / mechanical Allomancy and Feruchemy will help bridge the gap, though Rosharan fabrial science will also develop tremendously to counter them. Hemalurgy isn't too helpful to steal power from Radiants but it's good at taking them out, assuming you can get through Shardplates somehow if they're Fourth Ideal. War logistics is the biggest deciding factor: Radiants need Stormlight and spren (difficult to get off-world), Allomancers and Feruchemists need metal (much, much easier); Rosharans have Soulcasting, Scadrians might have Bendalloyminds, Rosharans have the superior edge here. Scadrians will probably have Goldminds to face Stormlight healing. They'll probably have to develop something to counter Shardblades, athough... evasion from superior weaponry can get you quite far, looking at irl wars. Both have means for mobile air troops via steel but Rosharans also have two Radiant Orders there. Then there are other creatures on both planets. Kandra and Koloss, Singers and Sleepless and Siah and (few) Larkins. Other Greatshells might be harnessed for the war efforts. Scadrial does have Mistwraiths... but Kandra and Koloss are better for combat. Renewable troops with direct access to Invested Arts would be a greater concern for Scadrial as its magic is genetic, whereas on Roshar, it's meritocratic.

If I connect you to the ground you would have to store that connection, if I remove your connection to your house, you would have to tap connection to your house, it's not interchangeable, blank connection(As I see it now) won't cut it, you need specific connection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, but it not mess with Metalminds, because they are keyd to your Identity, and every one of them has own Connection to you. Connection-manipulator will need dis-Connect every single one, one by one. And skilled Ferucheist can change Charges in the run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
