I should warn you, I'm sleep deprived and I've had a few drinks, but I think this is a sound theory. Credits go to my friend Thorin for helping to develop it.

Brandon Sanderson is a Twinborn, with DOUBLE SODIUM!

He has hidden this from the readers, did not include it in Mistborn, but Sodium is Allomantic! This is the truth behind his salt addiction! Burning sodium pushes creativity, and Feruchemical sodium stores IDEAS! He's been storing ideas in Sodium, then COMPOUNDING IT, burning the ideas to create a GIANT EXPLOSION OF AWESOME IDEAS! That is how he creates such brilliant stories!

You cannot dispute my logic.

Still skeptical? Consider this: He lives near the largest salt water lake in the western hemisphere. An endless supply of sodium.

I rest my case.

Edit: Yes, yes, I know it's sodium chloride. Shut up. :P

Well it would have to be sodium chloride not pure sodium, or he would spontaneously combust upon ingestion :P

NaCl is sodium chloride. Sodium is a metal. Therefore, there is metal in NaCl. :P

This is bad!!! Because then it needs to be part either atium or lerasium without breaking The Rule of 16.

Actually it would still break the rule of 16 even if it was an atium/lerasium alloy, because it would still be an allomantic metal when not alloyed. UNLESS it was it's own god metal, which also makes it a metal even if it's not and would make this theory work, and due to the extreme awesomeness of Brandons ideas I propose that Sodium Chloride is the god metal of Adonalsium himself!

Did you know that the Dead Sea is named so because it has so much The Epic God Metal in it that when any animals wishing to live in it breath in the water, their minds are so suddenly filled with creativity that they implode and die based on the law of The Epic God Metal makes you mentally insane.

Nope. Mistborn =/= Twinborn. Two entirely different concepts.

So there are the 16 normal metals, the 16 Lerasium based metals and 16 Atium based metals...

Are there also 16 Epic Metals?

Yes. And each one leads to high levels of cholesterol and likelihood of heart attacks and/or strokes. Also, on an interesting side note, they somehow boost the creativity of the Allomancer and are able to store the ideas of Feruchemist. Here are the ideas for names:

The Epic God Metal Misting: Glutton or Muse (take your pick depending on your standpoint with sodium chloride)

The Epic God Metal Ferring: Novellist or Brainstorm

Also: there should be an external user of the Epic God Metal called an Inspirator and an external Ferring of the Epic God Metal called a Larcenist (can steal and store peoples ideas).

Anyway, as another side note, there should be external Feruchemy! It would be EPIC (may contain salt).

I propose it be called The Epic God "Metal" to be slightly more accurate.
That said, I am a proponent of this theory.
