=== Awakening ===
It is possible for a spike to be [[Awakening|Awakened]], but it would be more difficult than Awakening metal without a Hemalurgic charge.{{wob ref|1803}} It is theoretically possible to spike a [[Lifeless]], if "there was enough of the soul left for the spike to take".{{wob ref|2863}} Hemalurgy can also be used to spike a [[Divine Breath]] from a [[Returned]],{{wob ref|11389}} and the recipient would not need to consume a Breath a week.{{wob ref|14149}} It is unclear
=== Surgebinding ===
It is possible to steal [[Surgebinding]], but it is more difficult compared to other Investitures due to the [[Nahel bond]].{{wob ref|779}} Since a [[spren]] still has autonomy over the bond,{{wob ref|12562}} they can break the bond and the Hemalurgist could immediately lose the power.{{wob ref|12931}} A Hemalurgist can also spike spren{{wob ref|4359}}{{wob ref|9493}} and spike the Nahel bond from the spren.{{wob ref|10366}} Doing so would have weird ramifications.{{wob ref|5188}} In order to effectively steal Surgebinding, the Hemalurgist would need to spike both the Surgebinder and the spren.{{wob ref|3347}}
=== Shardblades ===
It is possible to steal a dead [[Shardblade]], although Hemalurgic decay would lengthen the summoning time.{{wob ref|10696}}
== Trivia ==
* People with Hemalurgy have been to Roshar and may have been seen on screen in the [[The Stormlight Archive]]. Who these people are is unknown.{{wob ref|8665}}
* The early editions of the books said Feruchemical healing was granted by pewter spikes{{epigraph ref|mb3|36}}, even though the hemalurgy table says pewter spikes only give Physical Feruchemical abilities.{{file ref|Hemalurgy_table.jpg|Table of Hemalurgic Metals}} And the early editions didn't mention the health spike in The Hero of Ages chapter 5{{book ref|mb3|5}}. Later editions of the books changed that to a gold spike in both places.
