I've picked up in bits in pieces that it's possible, for some people at least, to use the Shardpools to worldhop...
Yes.
Can non-Invested people do that, or do you have to have some form of Investiture?
*hesitantly* Every individual is Invested to some extent...
Do you have to have any special Investiture above and beyond the normal spark of life?
I'm gonna go ahead and RAFO that.
On all the cosmere worlds, it seem as if-- do all the humans have what you call innate Investiture?
Let's see...
*thinks*
I believe that they all do. I don't think that you've seen anyone without innate Investiture yet.
Because when they don't have Breath anymore, they would get Drabs, and those don't have innate Investiture?
They don't have innate Investiture. And on Scadrial they have the pieces of Ruin and Preservation in them. And they do have it on Roshar.
Which Shard is that?
You'll have to read and find out. *gives card*
So yes, I don't think you've seen any worlds where they don't.
What is the difference between innate investiture and kinetic investiture?
Kinetic investiture is energy/power that is being actively (currently) used. Innate investiture is when a person is a conduit to/from the Spiritual realm.
Doesn't all 'extra' investiture require a cracked soul? How are Nalthians born with extra breath, if so?
No. The Scadrians have extra investiture too, on a lesser scale.
Why can a human be affected by Surgebinding but metals within their bodies cannot be Pushed or Pulled?
They can be Pushed or Pulled, if you're strong enough.
So is it just the Innate Investiture--
The Innate Investiture is interfering with things. Like if you look at it this way: So you're Surgebinding someone, I am touching him and sending the power straight into him. There's difference between there's something inside of him that I'm messing with and going through?
You said that every person on Scadrial has a bit of Preservation in them. It is possible, then, to accumulate enough Hemalurgic charge from killing normal people by, say, steel spike (at once, or in order), to make that spike grant Allomancy? Building on this, is it possible for the spike to accumulate charge while being imbedded in acceptor body, by killing people with the protruding end?
My, you're making the Scadrial magic systems sound a lot like the one from Nalthis.... Hm....
If people from Scadrial were to colonize, like, Nalthis, and not intermarry with the people there, would their children continue to have the Scadrial Investiture, or would they have the Nalthis Investiture? In the sense that, is it genetic, or is it planetary?
Scadrial is more genetic.
Than Nalthis, where they have the Breaths?
Yes.
So, would their children continue to--
Their children would continue, for a while, to have Scadrian Investiture.
For a while. Could you say, like, how many generations?
I cannot.
Is there a cosmere-specific term you use to describe, say, a Shard's power inside someone? For example, people on Scadrial had little bits of Preservation in them that made them sentient (and, with enough Preservation, Allomancy). This obviously doesn't make these people Slivers or Splinters, so I was just wondering if you had a word for it.
In my own terms, I refer to all of this as types of Investiture. The degree, and effects, can be very different--but those people are Invested. I term this innate Investiture, and it is similar to what happens with people on Nalthis. That is also innate.
If you cloned someone using real life technology (so not magic) would they have a normal Cognitive and Spiritual make up or be something like a Drab?
Cloning would most likely work like creating a twin--the body would pull Investiture for a soul, and you probably wouldn't have a Drab. Though it would be possible to do it in such a way that you did create one, if you're simply working from our current cloning technology, you'd get a fully invested human being.
If a Scadrian allomancer had a baby with a Nalthian (and the baby was born on Nalthis), could the baby have an original Breath and also be a Natural allomancer?
It could happen, the baby would have a bit of Preservation and a bit of Endowment.
