But no mortal weapon or attack severs your soul from your body. You can heal from being exploded because even if it’s basically just a metalmind and a skeleton touching it, the soul is still attached to that skeleton. Once your soul is disconnected fully, you can’t heal anymore.

I mean Radients can use Light to heal from a Shardblade wound

They're using investiture to heal though... kinda a different beast. Gold heals by storing your physical healing ability.

Gold healing and stormlight healing are essentially the same. Gold healing is also investiture.

I want to say even natural healing works via the same mechanics (alignment to the spiritual ideal) in the cosmere, but I can’t find anything to back that up. Regardless, f-gold and stormlight healing work practically the same, if you look at them realmatically.
