Difference between revisions of "Hemalurgy"

Hemalurgy is the most mysterious of the Metallic Arts, creating some of the most exotic things in the [[Final Empire]]. At its core, it involves stealing powers from one person and giving them to another. In order to do thisso, a metal spike must be stabbed through one person's body and then placed in the body ofrecipient's anotherbody. The placement of the spike determines whatwhich power chargesof the spikecontributor's attributes are taken. As such Hemalurgy is the most complex of the Metallic Arts, and the [[Steel Ministry]] has experimented for centuries with little success at finding new ways to apply it. Typically, the correct placement of a spike is a vital organ, so the person who had their power stolen invariably dies.
