So how do the silver masks work? From what I understand, there were 6 of each mask hidden around Mata Nui (by the Turaga I guess), a full set for each of the Toa to collect. But were they hidden in a way so that each set of masks would be found by every Toa, or just sporadically in hard to reach areas? No one Kanohi is destined to a certain Toa, right? For example, if Onua found and tried to wear the Onu-Wahi Akaku before Tahu, would he be able to use it? I'd assume yeah because I read somewhere that they shared the masks before each one had a full set, but do they revert back to the silver state when removed? Why don't any other Kanohi turn silver while not worn, besides arguably the Ignika? If the masks do bind to the element or Toa who wears them first, does that mean the sharing of masks is figurative, like using a Pakari to move something heavy for a Toa without the strength to move the object? Or is the "sharing" thing from a non-canon source?
