==Feruchemical Use==
A nicrosil [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Soulbearer'''. Nicrosil is used to store [[Investiture]]. This ability is not understood (even by those who utilize it).{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} A Soulbearer storing Investiture stores their ability to use their Investiture. Therefore, a Soulbearer could store their ability to use Feruchemy and another person tapping it would be turned into a temporary Feruchemist who has the ability to fill a metalmind (assuming the nicrosilmind was [[Feruchemy#Unkeyed Metalminds|unkeyed]]).{{book ref|mb6|21}} Among other things, a nicrosilmind can be used to store the [[divine Breath]] of the [[Returned]] and the ability to use various [[surge]]s of the [[Knights Radiant]].{{wob ref|3236}} Filling a nicrosilmind as fast as possible hides a person from an [[Awakener]]'s life sense.{{wob ref|4771}}
 
=== Compounding ===
A nicrosil [[Compounding|Compounder]] would be able to use nicrosil to have a nearly infinite supply of stored Investiture.{{wob ref|4067}}
