So far, only the MB trilogy, I haven't read AoL, but I'm in the process of acquiring the rest. Thing is, as I read through the books I realised there was something more than just what was written in this saga, so I had a quick look online and turned up all these fansites, including the Coppermind. I'm studying Chemistry, which is what got me so interested in checking out what the rest of the metals did. I'm looking forward to picking up the WoK books, and I absolutely love anything involving easter-egg material, especially when it comes to lore related stuff in fantasy fiction. I'd just like clarification on compounding gold too. So, you store health in the goldmind, then ingest it, and when you burn it, you get both visions of 'what you might have been' and you heal at an accelerated rate? Also, would love to see the effects of duralumin on compounders abilities, shame the only Mistborn Compounder we've seen is TLR.

Ok, so I was thinking about this the other day, Allomancy is end-positive right, the intent being to preserve your own energy at the expense of using energy granted by Preservation, accessed by burning the metal. So when Vin and Kelsier are 'pewter-dragging' to run huge distances in a short amount of time, they experience a huge fatigue build up as they're running, which makes sense if pewter only increases your durability, resistance to pain, and physical attributes (strength and speed). However, Vin ends up pewter-dragging so hard she ends up asleep for a nearly a week, this doesn't quite add up to me, seeing as your energy should be preserved and therefore you're essentially channelling energy from another source, through your body. Also, would this mean using Gold feruchemy after pewter-dragging would remove the physical fatigue? Shoot me down if I'm wrong. Also, first post on the forums.
