Somebody also theorized along the lines that a nicrosilmind is a lot like an Honorblade in that you just have, or they said, do you only have to touch it in order for it to work, or do you actually have to tap it?
Brandon Sanderson
Oh... I'll RAFO that.
Volratho

Humans on Scadrial have Investiture of both Preservation and Ruin inside of them.
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Yes.
Volratho
(paraphrased)
Feruchemically, does storing Investiture in Nicrosil store this connection to Ruin/Preservation/Harmony?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
You are on the right track, and asking the right questions but RAFO.
Oversleep
If we spike a Soulbearer with some Metallic ability, what happens to the Hemalurgical charge of the spike if the ability is stored completely in nicrosil at the time?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO

*Written:* How much compounding would a nicrosil Twinborn would need to do to get a metalmind that is as Invested as Nightblood?
Brandon Sanderson
*Reading question:* How much compounding would... *mumbling*
Wow, so much.
*Writes:* Wow so much.
yulerule
*Written:* A thousand breaths doesn't seem to be that much--the God King has tens of thousands. Would a piece of stone, wood, cloth, or plain metal that has a thousand breaths be as Invested as Nightblood, or is there something more?
Brandon Sanderson
No, it needs more. Needs more.
*Writes:* Needs more.
yulerule
More?
Brandon Sanderson
Yeah.
yulerule
Does that-- is it taking stuff from people it kills?
Brandon Sanderson
That's a RAFO, good question.

If you burn nicrosil, will it deplete Feruchemial storages? Or just Allomantic?
Brandon Sanderson
Just Allomantic.
DoritoJH
So, AonDor is super versatile and powerful.
Brandon Sanderson
Yes, but region-locked!
DoritoJH
Yes, it is region locked, exactly. If a full Feruchemist using nicrosil were to create an unlocked medallion that allowed an Elantrian to store Connection to Elantris' location, would it let them use AonDor at full power as long as they were tapping that Connection?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes. That should work just fine.
...
Just understand that the medallion's going to have to be usable by everyone in order to work. You're going to have to jump through some hoops, but I think what you want there would work. And for those of you listening, that would be the harder way to unlock AonDor. There are easier methods.
Questioner
So nicrosil. Wax couldn’t use a blank gold metalmind because he’s not a gold ferring, why can he use a blank nicrosil metalmind?
Brandon Sanderson
So this will all come out eventually but the idea is there are certain ways to connect yourself to magic, to hack the magic and make it think you have the Spiritual DNA that you don’t actually have. And this is one of the ways.
Questioner
So then the people who made this medallion have this thing that a regular nicrosil Ferring couldn’t--
Brandon Sanderson
Yeah, you’re picking up on it. We’ll dig deeper into it as the series progresses.
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Nicrobursts can only affect the allomantic abilities of twinborn (He followed up by saying THIS MAY CHANGE if he needs it to)
Pagerunner
When you tap the nicrosil portion of a medallion, will it run out over time? Or is it like a coppermind, where something discrete is taken, used, and returned?
Brandon Sanderson
Good question! Like a coppermind.
Questioner
Next up: can Feruchemical storage store stormlight?
Brandon Sanderson
You will find out exactly what it* does coming up
Oversleep
So if you spiked a Soulbearer...
Brandon Sanderson
A what?
Oversleep
The nicrosil Ferring.
Brandon Sanderson
Okay.
Oversleep
And he stored the ability he got from the spike what happens to the charge in it.
Brandon Sanderson
In the spike if he stores the ability?
Oversleep
Yeah, in the spike.
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Questioner
Nicrosil Feruchemy stores Investiture. Would a Nicrosil Compounder be able to gain Investiture up to the power of a Shard by infinitely Compounding?
Brandon Sanderson
I talk a lot about that in an upcoming Mistborn book. So that’s a RAFO. The reading is coming. I will explain what it does.
