Hemalurgist

You are a Hemalurgist, someone who knows how to steal Allomantic and Feruchemic abilities, as well as certain traits, and transfer them to other people. You learned this most likely from a cult or knowledgeable being that practices it, and has taught you. You have respect for this power, but don't hesitate to use it to its fullest.

To do this, one must stab someone through the heart or brain, storing the power in the spike, although a small amount is lost. The victim will most likely die. If the victim has temporary HP equal or greater than a quarter of their normal max HP or is magically healed for that amount immediately, then they will survive, simply without the power or trait lost. The spike can be any sharp metal object, no matter the shape or utility. It can be a sword, a spearhead, an earring, a thumbtack, whatever. To give the ability or quality to someone else, you have to stick the spike somewhere on their body. As long as it pierces the skin and stays there, they have access to the power. It is usually pierced deeply so that the body can heal over it.

Suggested Characteristics

Hemalurgists have to have a certain heartlessness to commit murder in such a specific way each time. They have to consciously try to kill the victim and steal their power in order for the process to work.
