Coating a spike with blood can reduce the Hemalurgic decay significantly similar to having it placed inside a body. It is unknown how much blood is necessary to make that effect happen or, for how long blood will maintain this effect before needing to be renewed with a fresh batch.{{book ref|mb5|6}}
Hemalurgy can be used anywhere in the [[Cosmere]]{{qa ref|691|27|Can Hemalurgy be used to steal magic attributes from any Shardworld?|date=may 2010}}, as long there is an intent to create a Hemalurgic spike. Hemalurgy can also steal attributes from other forms of Investiture.{{qa ref|977|120|Hemalurgy crosses magic systems|date=23 September 2012}} Hemalurgy can be used on animals

Another important aspect of Hemalurgy is spike location. The spike must be placed in certain locations on the human body in order to steal a power or attribute, and then placed in another point on the recipient to tap into their Spiritweb. Most commonly attributes are stolen through the heart. If a spike is placed in the wrong location it can have unforeseen effects, such as killing the recipient or possibly not granting any power at all.
