    I enjoy reading Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere books (obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be here), and I especially enjoy coming up with ways that one may be able to use the magic systems within it in interesting and unique ways. All of them are good, but, Hemalurgy is of the most interest to me, due to the many, many potential applications for it, and the creative opportunities it provides (assuming, of course, that you don't use it for evil, because, quite frankly, that would just be plain evil).

  1. I think in an ideal situation it would be very, very difficult to train your Mistborn enough to make it more pro than con, but it could probably keep you safe from Allomancy and Leeching grenades.
  2. Really? Not Teft 4 ever? In any case, it's hard to decide, but I'd tie my favorites with Dalinar, for his morality and maturity (for the most part), Kaladin, for action, relatablility, and vibe, and Navani, because Fabrial tech is neat and she's fun.
  3. Ah, I see now. That would work much better than what I thought you meant. I thought you were saying to line the body and tassels of the cloak.
  4. A little aluminum is strategically placed is good, but wouldn't a cloak prevent their use of Iron/Steel and Emotional Allomancy? Definitely true; some lightweight armor would be extremely useful. Ooooh, interesting. I wonder if an aluminum cloud would block Steelpushing or Ironpulling as well as Seeking, as it has some field like effects.
  5. I chose chicken, because I just love how Rosharan people just call any bird whatsoever a chicken
  6. Technically, yes, but neither held a substantial portion of Ruin's essence, so that influence would be incredibly weak compared to Preservation's Connection to them.
  7. So climbing pitons, essentially. Or, perhaps Allomantic pitons would be a better name. Seems like a pretty good idea to me. That way you get more control over your Pushing/Pulling power.
  8. I think that's gold Feruchemy that doesn't deal well with sickness, actually. Progression is pretty capable of dealing with disease, perhaps because more Investiture is generally used with it.
  9. Figured I'd start a thread for furthering input; since there is going to be a Mistborn as an antagonist come era 3, what kinds of tools would help them perform the traditional processes of a Mistborn assassin/sneak/warrior? 1. Cloth-covered coins: we see Vin use this a little in HoA, where having a little cloth covering you coins used for Steeljumping gives you greater stealth. 2. Aluminum daggers: since this is going to be a lot more common come era 3, it would prove quite useful for a Mistborn to have some upgrades to their hand-to-hand weaponry. Maybe their would even be an alloy of aluminum to make it sturdier. You could also coat the blade(s) in a dark substance to keep it from being shiny in the dark. 3. Aluminum vials/pouches: this would keep your metals safe from being Pushed or Pulled on, so no need to worry about losing them in combat. 4. Fingerless aluminum-lined gloves: now, I see a lot of potential for these; you can handle Bendalloy nuggets in your palm to ingest while keeping them safe from Allomancy, you can add aluminum covered steel knuckles for more punching force, when punching a Leecher they won't be able to Leech you, and with the finger tips exposed you have more dexterity and can Leech your own targets. 5. Ball-bearing cannon box; not really something they're going to use to often as it's big and clunky, but imagine a box with 100-300 steel ball-bearings held in place by a thin cloth. Then put the box on its side and attach it to a crossbow handle. Basically, this allows the Mistborn to use a duralumin/pewter/Steelpush to make a massively destructive grapeshot when in battle. 6. Allomantic body piercings; another source of Allomantic reserves that my be more tolerant to being Leeched or may be usable for longer periods of time. Plus, they can just be kept in the body without the need to ingest them if the Mistborn were to be attacked unexpectedly. They could also be used in an emergency as a Pushable weapon or item to break their fall if they lose their coin pouch and have no other metal. What else do you guys think would be a good tool for Mistborn?
  10. RoW spoilers; We also see that Connection forged via Emotional Allomancy or F-duralumin to a Hemalurgic construct can let you perceive their thoughts somewhat, though they wouldn't exactly count for what you intend.
  11. Technically, yes, but powers are almost certainly more Invested than other Feruchemically viable attributes so Storing them would not only be faster but Compounding them (which is essentially just hooking your Allomantic powerline up to your Feruchemical battery) would be less effective, as more nicrosil needs to be Burned to get the same percentage of usable attribute as another Feruchemical power. I suppose if you had lots of nicrosil to Burn and some duralumin to speed the process up it could be useful though, especially if you needed a big boost fast. Actually, come to think of it, Tapping nicrosil augments your base power, right? So a pewter/duralumin/Steelpush while Tapping nicrosil would multiply the output by whatever the rate of your nicrosil was, potentially making it vastly more powerful.
  12. As we understand it right now, they'd be able to Store the ability to use each power in a Nicrosilmind, which they could later Tap to increase their power just as with any other attribute. That's a pretty powerful ability, if you ask me.
  13. Seems you've made a reputation for yourself friend
  14. Ah, my apologies. I had assumed you meant that he was attempting to only make more types of constructs from H-iron, as those would be easier to control. I was thinking along the lines of if he had devoted that time and effort toward that he should have discovered at least a few more if it was realistically possible. However, I suppose it's possible he didn't try very hard (he was busy with ruling, and then a great sense of apathy later on), so using servants to experiment instead of personally utilizing Fullborn SR hacks to learn new constructs wouldn't be super effective. Also a reasonable possibility. We do know he was messing with Rashek's head, after all, which is why he kept Alendi's journal;
  15. Technically possible, yes, but then why wouldn't he have another construct type or two made for dumb muscle tasks?
