#hat lore

Hats in general: can sense the wearer's common state of mind (such as Elhokar feeling the pressures of kingship strongly), can also get very vague, subconscious glimpses of memories. glasses count as hats. earrings count as hats. hemalurgic spikes, too, count as hats.

Metallic arts: when wearing someone's hat, can store into or tap their metalminds. can not use their allomancy.

Radiants: can not use someone's Surges when wearing their hat. can sense a Nahel bond and be sensed in return, but it's only a faint, odd presence

AonDor: ahahahaha. no. do you want him to be the most op person in the cosmere? that's how you would make that happen

other forms of Dor use: potentially possible, but with strong limitations. something weird would happen if he put on the hat of someone living with a soulstamp.

Breaths: could be an Awakener just like anyone else, no hat needed, but would still need to actually collect Breaths. could theoretically do the haircolor thing if he wore a hat of the royal family

Canticle heat transfer: possible to do if he wore the hat of someone Connected to the planet
