In the Mechanics section, I believe the contradiction between the [https://wob.coppermind.net/events/239-alloy-of-law-release-party/#e10048 WoB] in source 12 and the quote from the Hero of Ages indicates that the person being spiked doesn't necessarily have to die, but rather that's always historically been the result and Harmony is misinformed (or generalizing, or misleading on purpose). In this [https://wob.coppermind.net/events/406-general-reddit-2020/#e14304 WoB], Brandon indicates that a person would need to be healed after being spiked in order to remove the spike safely, as it's holding their spiritweb together at that point. So in essence: unless a specific effort is made to keep the spiked person alive they die once the spike is charged and removed, and that's what Harmony is referencing; however, if a person were to be healed before the spike was taken out, they would survive but as a very different person. Presumably with a scarred/incomplete/tattered but functional spiritweb.

:I think getting into how a person could possibly survive being spiked isn't really [[Help:Speculation|suited for the Coppermind]], but the way the paragraph was written wasn't really appropriate either, since we keep to an in-world tone (i.e., avoid making reference to out-of-world things like book titles), so I've [[Special:Diff/168507|reworded]] it in a way that also presents it as more of an unknown, which I think is more in keeping with how we generally handle things like this.
