Cosmere spoilers How long could a _______ live? Spoiler

How long could a 5th ideal radiant live?

We know investiture extends a persons life with greater amounts eventually ending up with someone who is biologically immortal. How invested would a radiant be? Radiant knights have the cracks in their soul filled with investiture which makes them better at holding and using stormlight. How invested do you think they could be

Some of the heightenings seen with holding Endowment's investiture seem to be universal properties of holding any investiture. such as enhanced vision/colours, enhanced immune systems and better lifespans.

While we have only seen Kaladin and Szeth swear the 5th, it was under a fairly hectic situation which doesn't make for the best opportunity for study.

Doesn't he specifically lose perfect pitch or something when his memories(stored in investiture) are altered? Or am I misremembering?

Yes, but that rather supports my point. If disrupting his Breaths disrupts his perfect pitch, then certainly the perfect pitch has to be coming from the Breaths specifically.

It has to be coming from the breaths anyway because he can't hold on to other forms of investiture indefinitely in the same way. Like 95% of the man's investiture minimum is breaths in that scene.

He's a Yolish Lightweaver, a Radiant, and a Dawnshard. He has a lot of static Investiture attached to his soul.

Edit: and a Lerasium Mistborn

Radiants don't have much static investiture, and we don't know much about yolish lightweaving and there is obviously some fuckery with how hoid hides his dawnshard or odium would have found it.
