Two thirds of the pain from being spiked must be pretty uncomfortable. Normally someone in her position would be under the effect of magic making them not mind the pain, but Alendi thought she might react badly to that information. Besides, he's not going to go out of his way to comfort her. She's been giving him orders.
Rather than stick the spike further in immediately, he and the obligator instead pierce the skin with a second one, doubling Promise's Feruchemical ability. While he holds those two in place, his minion inserts the third on the other arm. If Promise is still filling the tinmind as quickly as she can, she's feeling only a small fraction of the pain. Now the minion presses the spikes deeper. And with the addition of the fourth, Promise has fully gained her new superpower.
This stops being relevant very soon, because seconds after the spikes are secure her arms heal around them.
