Straff Venture Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Well the short answer is no. Depending on exactly how much weight you "lost" while you were storing it, you might be able to float but any kind of walking motion would be pretty difficult. I think it'd be impossible to balance with the water moving around below you. It'd probably be a bit like trying to walk on jelly (if that could hold your weight), only so much worse. To compare it to something we might have done (unless you walk on jelly a lot ) I would say it would be like walking on ice - if you press too hard, you fall through. Plus at that weight i slight gust would blow you away so it isn't very practical, but then I guess the thread's name excuses that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it - an even better comparison might be if the ice were made of jelly! (Also tastier) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if you are light enough, the surface is constantly jiggling and moving. It would be like trying to walk on the trampoline while six sumo wrestlers are jumping on it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millennium Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 I'm not really in physics and stuff but would you be able to walk on water while storing weight? A pewter/iron Twinborn who had gone savant in pewter might be able to store enough weight and gain enough strength to run a short distance across the surface of water, the way a basilisk lizard does. But the math on this seriously stretches the limits of both Allomantic pewter and Feruchemical iron -if a normal human's strength-to-mass ratio is 1, you'd have to get it to about 50- so it may just plain be beyond one or the other. This also doesn't take into account air resistance, which at that size and mass may be too much to overcome. Also, this isn't really walking on water. It's a dead sprint, and you wouldn't be able to keep it up for more than a few seconds before starting to sink: you might be able to cross a river, but you couldn't stand on the sea. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Observer Posted September 20, 2012 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Soulcasting flies into air. Very useful. Using Pewter to double your jump height on a trampoline. Run through the streets nsaked while storing connections, just 'cause you can. And since nobody said it yet: Using a Shardblade to cut vegetables. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nepene Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I'm not really in physics and stuff but would you be able to walk on water while storing weight? http://www.livescience.com/62-walking-water-insect-secret-revealed.html You can stand on water with just water tension but it's rather hard to walk. Too easy for your legs to sink in. Insects that walk on water have special superhydrophobic legs that trap air bubbles. These stop you getting wet and make floating easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voidus Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Dump all your memories into a coppermind, including how to get them back. This one is my favourite. Go to a 'guess your weight' game with an Ironmind. Store and tap weight to float/sink when scuba diving instead of swimming. Awaken everyones shoelaces to tie together. Awaken a coin to jump away whenever people try to grab it. Lash yourself and your chair to the ceiling while reading, just because. spray a Full lashing on the ground just before the finish line of a race. Place metallic spikes all through your house, pull on them instead of walking. Eat a lerasium bead and then burn Aluminium. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satsuoni Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) Ok... Use Shardplate as your P.E. uniform. Use Shardblade stuck in the floor as a doorstop Soulcast your own excrement into food -ultimate couch potato. Lash skirt edges to armpits, and pants to the shoes Eat and burn anything aluminium you can get your hands on, just to show that you can Burn gold while storing memories into coppermind. Then eat coppermind and burn aluminium. Burn electrum while storing senses. Use stored sight to look at the stars without telescope, for the whole of 1 second Burn pewter while watching TV, just to feel the rush. Burn (lots and lots of) pewter and duralumin to instantly heal a small scratch. Pewter-drag to work/school instead of using a train. Then use bronze to stay awake in class/office. Lash your facial hair to the sink instead of shaving, or soulcast them to air. Soulcast wine to blood when drinking, to win drinking contest.

Nepene Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I can imagine some potential uses for forging. Perhaps a stamp to get you dressed in the morning? A stamp to make it so you wiped your bum after using the toilet? Burn atium to get the highscore on pacman. Use shardarmor to jumpstart a car. Use illusions from elantris magic rather than getting dressed. Use a weak reverse lashing to knead dough. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
