I believe the metalmind has to be at least touchable for you to fill it, so no using metal dust, but we have not seen any metalmind smaller than can be comfortably handled. From what I remember, the medallions from south Scadrial are the smallest we have seen, or maybe TLR's earrings and rings, but the threads of metal through the bands of mourning are less volume wise, but had way more Investiture per volume than the coins or earrings. We might see more micro-metalminds in the future Eras, but those might have to be Invested via a different process, or through more skill as ferrings become more common. This is off track, but imagine a hemalurgic spike bullet, aimed correctly, would forcibly give the person a hemalurgic ability. Or even further into the future, micro allomancy grenade bullets fueled by chromium, wiping the stores of metal without need for a leecher.

You are correct, gravity affects all things equally, but the small amount of mass given by clothing or other things that cannot be affected by the Ferring and the wind resistance from an object that is large but has little weight would affect the path of falling and such.

There is definitely living shardplate, i believe the stormvision of the betrayal of the radiants specifically stated the armor was glowing along the seams, and the current day shardplate does not do that. Not to mention when Kaladin takes the helmet and puts it on his hand during the full disadvantage fight, and it practically robbed him of all his stormlight, which would not have worked so well if the radiants lost the majority of their stormlight every time they took a hit.

I have been a fan for almost 2 years now, and I am finally making a profile on here, hopefully keeping it recent. I am very interested in the mistborn magic system, and all the other magic systems for that reason. I am slowly uncovering small things that might have been overlooked in the books, but ill have to see if anyone else picked up on them yet.
