:::But that still doesn't answer the question of what Marsh's spikes were. Presumably he has 8 for the basic Allomantic powers, plus 1 gold spike for healing, plus the 1 to hold them together. But what about his 11th spike? I checked the 2019 version of the first Mistborn book, and it looks like it hasn't changed any of this stuff. It still says Marsh has 11 spikes.
:::Another change in the 2019 version is that in Hero of Ages chapter 4 [note: I meant to say chapter 5, not 4], when they're inspecting the dead body of the Steel Inquisitor at Vetitan, it adds the line "there was no sign of an atium spike, so perhaps this Inquisitor had originally been a Mistborn." I know some of the Steel Inquisitors (like the one in Mistborn chapter 34) could burn atium. So maybe Marsh's 11th spike was an atium spike to give him the power of Allomantic atium.
:::Although that new line I just quoted, it seems strange. Because in the old version of the books, I don't think the Steel Inquisitor at Vetitan ever showed any sign of being able to burn atium. So I don't know what it means by "perhaps this Inquisitor had originally been a Mistborn." Maybe it burned atium in the 2019 version. I didn't think to check when I was looking at the book earlier today.
:::::Alright. I'm satisfied, then, that Marsh's 11th spike was made from atium, and it gave him the power of allomantic atium. I don't know if the books ever explicitly say that. But it was probably implied, by virtue of the fact that some Steel Inquisitors are able to burn atium (as seen in Mistborn chapter 34). In retrospect, I feel kind of silly for not having thought of that before I started this conversation. But I got distracted by all these other issues, and the Powers section on this article doesn't include the atium spike in the same list as the other spikes. So unless anyone objects, I'll add the atium spike to that list, and I'll also update the article for the other things we've discussed here.
:::::The only thing that's really still bothering me is that the 2019 version of Hero of Ages says "perhaps this Inquisitor had originally been a Mistborn" when it's talking about the Steel Inquisitor at Vetitan in chapter 4 [note: I meant to say chapter 5, not 4]. I don't know what would make them think that. - [[User:Ebmid2|Ebmid2]] ([[User talk:Ebmid2|talk]]) 18:38, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
::::::I imagine the characters are under the impression that Inquisitors would need the ability to burn Allomantic atium, so if they don't find an atium spike, they assume the original person was a Mistborn. -- [[User:Chaos2651|Chaos2651]] ([[User talk:Chaos2651|talk]]) 19:13, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
:::::::Maybe. In any case, I found another change. The old version of the books says the Inquisitor at Vetitan "had the standard spikes" plus a new one. But the 2019 version said it "had *most of* the standard spikes" plus a new one. That implies it's missing a standard spike. Presumably the atium one. Which means Vin would've considered the atium spike standard. So when she saw an Inquisitor that didn't have an atium spike, she probably would've wondered why it didn't have it. I expect the real answer to that question is that Ruin either didn't have atium for a spike, or didn't have a person to spike with it, or didn't want to waste atium on that Inquisitor. But Vin might've assumed the answer was that particular Inquisitor didn't need an atium spike. And one reason he wouldn't need one is that he was Mistborn. And that might explain her statement "perhaps this Inquisitor had originally been a Mistborn". - [[User:Ebmid2|Ebmid2]] ([[User talk:Ebmid2|talk]]) 22:33, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
