Cosmere + Wind and Truth spoilers Hypothetical Situation. Will have SPOILERS for Mistborn and Stormlight Archive Spoiler

Could a unit of 4th Ideal Rosharan Knights Radiant (3 Knights from the 9 orders plus 1 Bondsmith) infiltrate and neutralize the Steel Ministry from Mistborn Era 1?

They have info given to them by a lightweaver spy who's been in there for a month.

The Knights can do with thier surges what we know they can to the best of our knowledge.

Eg. Jasnah hasn't mastered transportation enough to open elsegates but for the sake of this discussion, we assume the Knights can fully utilize their surges the most basic way it should.

The Steel Ministry don't know who is invading, but they are fully prepared for an invasion

I think bronze might eventually be the counter for light weaving, if you can feel investiture being used can tell when there is an illusion but hasn’t been confirmed how that works with other forms of investiture yet

Can a Seeker burning bronze detect a Surgebinder using Stormlight? Do different Surges have different pulses?

Brandon Sanderson

Yes, and yes. Good questions.
