  1. So, I think I have the time. My idea is that perhaps all of the shards started off as very similar (other than intent), but because of certain things (preservation making people/allomantic powers, for example) made them worse at certain things. This would explain why ruin does not have great future sight, and I don't have more examples, but i like the idea.
  2. Brandon is being kind of vague on that, so it may be something we see in future books.
  3. This may have been covered before, but I searched and couldn't find anything. Is there a way to selectively tap, as in storing or tapping heat in one specific part of your body? Would this be like a Feruchemist savant ability?
  4. No. I meant it the way you thought. I just missed the typo.
  5. So first off, I think why ruin can see into the future very well is because of the atium. And second off, the future shows what changes will happen, and ruin is all about change. That may be why.
  6. Silver and sterling silver(silver and platinum): allomantically they give you the ability to shrink (silver) and grow (sterling silver), with no change to weight. Feruchemically, they give you the ability to store creativity(silver) and the ability to learn(sterling silver).
  7. It would, but because you can only push and pull on the metal, the mercury would go flying everywhere. With enough practice, though, you could do it for a little while. The lake would probably just splash, and if you were above it, you would probably drown in liquid metal.
  8. For MeLaan to recreate Marasi's blood, she needed to "eat" some of it first. In order to make an egg and sperm, she would need examples to copy off of, so it would be easier to just make the child normally
  9. Alright. So, I guess the real question now is if storing bronze stores REM sleep, so you can take those odd sleep cycles. I think there was an insane extreme of a 15 minute nap every 4 hours. If it just has to do with you tapping at those times, perhaps you could store for a week or two, and then have a month of wakefulness because of the tapping cycles.
  10. Thanks @Spoolofwhool for the correction. So, you couldn't be storing constantly. However, I don't quite think that you would need more sleep, seeing as you are never tapping more than 100%. I may be wrong, but doesn't the inefficiency with Feruchemy only apply once your tapping more than that? To @Itchy Savant, I think that you can, as long as they are different attributes. I personally think that a Feruchemist could "switch" metal minds by tapping from one and storing into the other, but that's just me.
  11. Sooooooooo, I've done two of these theories a while back, and I've decided to do a third. I'll be covering bronze. Feruchemy: Bronze Bronze stores wakefulness, causing you to become drowsy when storing, and more aware and full of energy when tapping. This is an interesting metal, because if you store 100%(and I'm pretty sure that you can, because...) you go into a trance, not awake, but definitely not sleeping. When you "wake" from your trance, you aren't any more awake than when you started the trance. instead, you have a store in your brassmind equal to that of the sleep. What I think you can do with this is rather incredible. If you can store into your brassmind to tap from it later, why even sleep(other than the fact that sleep is one of the best experiences of most people's lives )? Sure, it wouldn't really be good to study or train at night, seeing as you would be very bleary eyed and that you probably would forget what you did in the passing days, but there is one insane advantage that you get from 8 extra hours of being awake every day. You would be able to store into all of the rest of your metal minds at night. Not only would this give you 8 extra hours to store, but you could store considerably more during those 8 hours, seeing as there aren't a ton of threats around, and you don't need to do nearly as much at night. The only two drawbacks I can see is that you would get bored from the time you're spending at night blind, deaf, weak, dumb, and cold. If you are still wondering how you could stay awake forever, refer to the maths below. The average human needs 8 hours of rest per day, so if you store 8 hours or more per day(and then tap those 8 hours at the beginning of the next day), it would be like resting every day. There are several ways to accomplish this. Store brass 33.3333333...% all the time. Since 1/3 of 24 is 8, you'll get your 8 hours every day. This is probably the worst way to do it, since you'll be a bit sleepy all the time, lowering your productivity for whatever you do during the day. Store brass 67.7777777...% for 12 hours each day. this will give you productivity from 8 A.M. to 8 P.M., allowing you to have a job/hobby/something to do during the day. Store brass 80% for 8 hours, 40% for 4. This is probably the best one because generally, people are somewhat drowzy(say, 40%) in the 2 hours leading up to and out of sleep. Sure, you'll be fighting to stay awake during those eight hours, but they'll seem a lot shorter if you're storing steel and zinc ;).
  12. So I would need to start collection with F: Aluminum, so I would know what I wanted.
  13. I would take F:Steel, F: Gold, and A: Pewter(if compounding isn't allowed), because I would be able to easily store the two hardest stored metals. If compounding is allowed, I would take A and F: Chromium, and F: Electrum. Then, I could easily gather hemalurgic Spikes and then tap determination to get out of harmony's control.
  14. But guys, you don't have to have your metal minds be piercings. You don't even have to float naked. You just have to be boyant enough to float in the air with your gear. If you were truly going completely stored, you would shoot up into the sky. Air has weight. You just need to have a net boyancy more than the boyancy of air.
  15. Took a little time but it got Marsh.
