natc Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 The thing, though, is that obviously the amount of power that you compound can't exceed Preservation's power.. Which brings us back to the start of this conversation And burning mist as a feruchemical charge is probably a bit more complicated than just wanting to do it. After all I believe burning a spike also has completely different effects . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostrichofevil Posted April 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Personally, I believe that it would Compound the Spike's power. Meanwhile, I believe that Spiking someone with a Metalmind would deliver whatever is stored in the Metalmind to the Spike recipient, but with serious Decay (equivlant to the power gained by Compounding). EDIT - Say, I should move that to a separate post! Edited April 5, 2015 by ostrichofevil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksmithki Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 So why would chromium be the only F metal to be able to directly effect others rather then just one's self? Wouldn't every result be more like you being the butterfly in the Standard example of chaos theory as opposed to you being an outside force? So it would functionally be you unconsiosly being omnipotent with perfect knowledge of the future, so you cause exactly what you want to happen, but only because you indirectly unknowingly made it happen right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compounds Cadmium: I'm Aquaman! OR "Mommy? Can I be a fish when I grow up?" "Sure you can, sweetheart!" Remember, when compounding, restoring things isn't a problem anymore. Aluminium Compounding is not the most powerful admittedly. Copper Compounding gives you more memories than you actually had, I'm guessing this means details you didn't personally observe, information you had no way of actually getting. Iron Compounding can be used for infinite power (as a more efficient version of the old "Ironminds on a turbine" idea) Bendalloy Compounding (and then immediately storing) means you never need to eat or drink again ever. Cadmium Compounding can be used to indefinitely explore underwater, in areas that contain toxic gasses, or theoretically, space (with a pressure suit). (I had a Cadmium MAG character who was a chemist specialising in toxic gas) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podman Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Is here a WoB on what you said about copper? I didn’t know that. I don’t understand what you mean in your iron description. Everything else we pretty much agreed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not with copper, but how else could it work, you get more "memory" then you put in Wait, have I not put Iron Turbine on here? I might have only discussed it IRL, So imagine a ferris wheel connected to a turbine, and in each wheelcar sits an iron ferring. As they go up, they store mass, as they go down, they tap mass. Fasts ensue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podman Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 I like the idea with iron! I disagree with how you think copper works. Feruchemy is internal- you can’t compound and get information from external sources. I do think you’re right about being able to store it back up though. The way I wrote it was mostly for comedic effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 By definition, compounding gives more than you put in. You compound to get extra something from an external source. Whether these extra memories are useful or relevant is a different question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podman Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 But it can’t give you something external, other than Preservations power. When you compound steel you don’t gain access to other people’s speed. I think the memories just grow more vivid or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walin Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Well maybe Bendalloy Compounders can just produce medallions for the world. I think that makes it more powerful than just never having to eat again. Chromium Compounding would imo be best used when trying to escape people. Hide in the jungle, they’ll never find you. Hide in a sand desert, the wind will pick up. Hide in a city, doors will open. Etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xinoehp512 Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 To be honest, we know practically nothing about Fortune Feruchemy except the name. However, assuming it is aimable (i.e. you choose what you want to be lucked) you have: Being a scientist and having a ridiculous amount of accidents that lead to new inventions. Painting, blindfolded, a picture of anything. Future, past, you name it. In a similar vein, scribbling (or rolling alphabet dice) to read anything, including other people's brains You know how in some books they have stones they can use to predict the future? Those. Basically, predicting the future in general through whatever random means you feel like. Taking a walk blindfolded to get where you want to go. Submit a scholarship application and get it accepted. Have all of your atoms simultaneously decide to jump two feet to the left, one foot up, etc. out of the path of whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
