Cam Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Full feruchemists can store nourishment in a metalmind, and then convert it to a Nicrosil mind as investiture. If they are also a compounder of either of the two necessary metals, you have a HyperLift, the most awesome thing ever to live 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze1616 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 How do you convert nourishment into investiture? Can "modern" Feruchemists convert from one metal mind to another? Nourishment is Bendalloy, Investiture is Nicrosil, and Sazed never once did any converting even when it would have been useful... did I miss something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinxer Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I think this would work only if the Feruchemist could also compound Bendalloy, because when a metalmind is ingested it becomes a burnable source of Investiture. Though maybe this could work as you suggested? We really don't know enough about Nicrosil to say for sure, do we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is assuming that the Baseline in the MAG is correct on how the Fmetals work. I happen to agree with him but most people don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze1616 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Oh, it's something from the MAG. Got it. So it says you can convert metalminds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgedancer Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Oh, it's something from the MAG. Got it. So it says you can convert metalminds? Yes, according to the MAG you can essentially use feruchemical Nicrosil to convert something stored in a metalmind in pure Investure and then use that to power your other metalminds.

Ah, so by using the fact that what you've stored is "investiture," a nicrosilmind can be used to convert. Interesting. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tavash Shar Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Yea its very useful even at 2 for one charges sense you can tap as many charges out of it as your tapping out of your other metal mind. Essentially doubling your rating. Nicrosil Compounding in the AoL also gets Ridiculous as they can make charges at will of anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divine0Flame Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 But in AoL, there are only necrosill alone, maybe a twinborn, so storing investiture would be useless unless you are working in tandem with another feruchemist, as you can't access the other metalminds, even if you did charge it. Pleas corect me if I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleas corect me if I am wrong. No you're correct. Much like an aluminum mistling is not all that useful on its own from what we know via the AoL books Nicrosil is not very useful without both the alomantic and feruchemical powers. Thats actually something I would like to see in book elaborated on though as being human mean you do have some Innate investiture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divine0Flame Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Isn't there something that says tjat you can access other peoples necrosil minds? If that is true, then could any feru be able to fill one? I am not sure what you ment my the innate investiture stuff, but I think that some elaboration woud be nice.

Shard of Adonalsium Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 It doesn't specifically state that the Investiture stored in a Nicrosil Compounder's metalmind can be converted to Stormlight or Breaths, for example...it only says that the nicrosil stored in there can power other metalminds.

natc Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 If we compound we are drawing investiture from Preservation through the allomantic burning process right? If we compounded too much would we Ascend? That would be a problem. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
