So Kelsier, he stayed around longer, not because he was invested, but because he had the ability to become invested?
Over time using the magic will invest you, on Scadrial. Most of the power is not coming from, on Roshar the power isn’t coming from the person either (He cut himself off, so I assume this is how it works on Scadrial even though he didn’t finish his thought) so I’m going to have to back up on that one and say, yes, the mistborn are as invested as a Knight Radiant, because in both cases the majority of the power is coming from somewhere else, but there is the spirit web. Investing the wrong term, but you have all these connections in the spiritual realm, so yanking you away from them, or rewriting them (like soulcasting or forgery) is harder.
Would they be harder (kek) with more Stormlight or Metals burning?
Yes, yes. That would increase the difficulty ratio. For instance, wearing shard plate is gonna be a great barrier, right, and things like that so yea. The problem is like, invested is the wrong term for that, their spirit web is connected in different ways. (I deem this “Spirit Web Magical Connectivity Diversity, or SWMCD”.
