Steel Inquisitors were very powerful and - with feruchemicalFeruchemical healing - nearly invincible.

This was a weakness built into them by The Lord Ruler. Similarly, Inquisitors could not survive beheading. Removing one eye spike is not enough to kill most inquisitorsInquisitors. Inquisitors also required more rest and sleep than a normal human would.

Another major weakness in Inquisitors came from the Hemalurgic spikes they bore, though this was not a problem before Ruin was released.

This also allowed them to be controlled by [[Ruin]] the more spikes they had, the greater the weakness was. However the stronger a creature's will is the more it can resist that influence or even break free from it for a time. Because of their hemalurgicHemalurgic origins, all Steel Inquisitors were able to hear the voice of [[Ruin]].
