So I was re-reading Warbreaker when I got and idea and wondered what people's thoughts on it were.
What happens if a Feruchemist who is also a Mistborn travels to Nalthas and acquires Breath?
A Feruchemist can use a Nicrosil metalmind to store Investiture, and per word of god it can be used to store Breath (including a divine Breath of a Returned). Also per WoG Nicrosil being compounded does increase investiture.
So step 1: Become a Feruchemist Mistorbon (or a Nicrosil twinborn), get to Nalthas, buy a Breath.
Step 2: Store Breath in Nicrosil metalmind.
Step 3: Burn metalmind.
Step 4: Repeat steps two and three for a while
Step 5: What happens?
Do you gain a single supremely powerful breath? Basically, an artificially created Divine Breath? I mean one Divine Breath brings you to the Fifth Heightening, and that takes ~2,000 regular breaths. If you do it enough, could you essentially become Endowment?
