To All You 17th Sharders I Met Last Night: You are all awesome! I had a great time hanging out with you, getting to know you all, and chatting with you. Viva la 17th Shard!

I'm back. That was a fast read.

Whatever for? Claws go inside the body, so they should no be affected.. also, they offer places for clawspikes. Hm.. atium claws... [EDIT] Right, finished AoL. Man, that was short... Not much new info to go by, if you consider that we new ARS Arcanum beforehand. The only bit that worried me was the ability to push/pull on the embedded metals, which for some reason apparently became difficult, but possible for ordinary Allomancers. What's up with that... {EDIT2} An RP-like project sounds better and better (as I read the Nexus. I'll have to think on it, but I'll definitely need help for this one.

I would like to announce that this is Eero-Post number 1,000. That's right, baby, I'm a thousand-aire Party down.

well atium works in Allomancy, so I don't see why lerasium wouldn't work in hemalurgy.

I think that the author of the Ars Arcanum is a member of the Seventeenth Shard from Sel, most likely Raoden, who is making the list as an entry in a sort of encyclopedia of Investiture in the Cosmere. I contemplated it being Vasher, due to Vasher's scholarly background (and if anyone from Nalthis could be a member of the SS it would be Vasher; he is probably the most knowledgeable person on Nalthis, with Yesteel being nearby. Vasher deducing that there are other worlds wouldn't isn't much of a stretch.) However, afaik Alloy of Law takes place before Warbreaker (someone correct me if I am wrong,) making that particular idea a dud (and Vasher's pattern of speech doesn't quite fit with the Ars Arcanum chapter: Vasher is very specific when talking about Bio-Chroma in Chapter 46 of Warbreaker, while the AA author is speaking of the Metallic Arts in a very general fashion. Even the individual entries on the metals don't go into as much depth as Vasher does when speaking with Vivenna about Bio-Chroma.)
