Currently reading HoA. Setting aside the suspicions of Spook's new pewter abilities and mysterious Kelsier-voice, I stopped to admire the character development arc for Spook. He transformed from being a shy, cute kid to a confident, decisive beast who carries the will of the crew on his own. He's no longer just a shy nephew who tagged along. He along with the other surviving members of the crew is one of Kelsier's heirs who inherited Kell's will.

“dude I took the wrong metals I need to burn them stat do you have any aluminum?”

“Well, uh… I mean… I put deodorant on today?”

So consider. The bands of mourning is a spearhead, right? Also, you can theoretically awaken a metalmind. Also apparently an awakened metalminds personality would be somewhat affected by any identity stored in it. So what we're going to do is store someone of our choosings identity in the bands of mourning and then we awaken it (side note, could Shallan store one of her personas as identity?). Now we have a Nightblood-esque bands of mourning. While we're at it why don't we see if we can store some surges in there? So now let's give it to. Say. Kaladin. And connect it to Kaladin and Syl. Perhaps now he can summon and desummon it, and together with Syl, a spearhead can become a full spear.
