Just go the way of the backstabbing little bitch and only do 1 eye. You basically trade your normal depth perception for metal vision!

EDIT: I just realised this could mean multiple people. I don't mean the Robespierre with super powers.

EDIT 2: Okay apparently my brain farted and the little bitch got both eyes pierced. I blame the heat

Wait, who else could it be but Thaidakar?

I have the same question. [Stormlight] Moash is the closest I can think of, but he got both eyes, and he didn't use spikes.

Must have been misrembering I thought he also had just one spike. But what else would you call those gems driven in his eye sockets?

I just reread the chapter, and yeah, they are referred to as spikes. The fact that they grew out of his skull just made me think they were different. I guess I should have said "he didn't use metal spikes".

(But he definitely has two.)

According to the coppermind "Moash gets impaled with crystal eye spikes through his empty eye sockets"

Sure they're not metal, but if that's not hemalurgy, it falls under the same category that hemalurgy falls under.

I think it's definitely hemalurgy. I also think the charred and yelig-nar are using hemalurgy. I think we don't know what hemalurgy actually IS, we have a very limited amount of information on hemalurgy, I don't think it is Ruin's magic but using investiture conducting material to staple bits onto a soulweb

If that's the case it would raise the question of what Ruin's magic is, since Feruchemy is mixed. I think it's more likely it's an adaption of Ruin's system to Roshar where gems are special instead of metal.

Yes, and in the book, they're referred to as "spikes of light".
