Coating a spike with blood can reduce the Hemalurgic decay significantly. It is unknown how much blood is necessary to make that effect happen,{{book ref|mb5|6}} however, the blood does not need to be fresh, nor separated from a body, with cuts of meat, large enough to contain the spike, also sufficing to reducing decay. This works by 'tricking' the spike into believing that it is buried in a body.{{wob ref|14902}} It is possible that encasing spikes in [[aluminum]] may prevent decay.{{wob ref|5060}} Even outside of blood, a spike will never completely lose its charge.{{wob ref|9534}}
It is not thought to be possible for multiple attributes to be stolen from the same person.{{wob ref|9463}} There is a maximum number of spikes a person can have before causing issues of mental or physical limitations.{{wob ref|11327}}
Hemalurgy can be used anywhere in the [[cosmere]],{{wob ref|12018}}{{wob ref|5537}} as long as there is an Intent to create a Hemalurgic spike,{{wob ref|6312}} and it has indeed shown up at least once on a different planet, though in a subtle way.{{wob ref|1716}} Hemalurgy can also steal attributes from other forms of Investiture.{{wob ref|1190}} Hemalurgy can be used on animals,{{wob ref|6095}} however it can't be used on plants.{{wob ref|8173}}
