TheSurvivorofDeath

I think you’re on the right track here. It does seem that allomantically speaking pure god metals expand or strengthen the magic system of their associated shard in some way. I wouldn’t go so far as to say they all do things like granting powers or generating breaths. On top of it being super unlikely that Brandon would write them like that, it just doesn’t make sense that one metal, lerasium, forges connections, and then the other metals form connections with their shards, but atium doesn’t. No, all the god metals must do something different. It could be anything really. Atium gives a peek into the spiritual, which helps with hemalurgy. Lerasium forms a connection to preservation, granting and strengthening allomancy. Each god metal could assist or fuel the magic system. Edglium could improve commands or something like that. Tanavastium could fuel Surgebinding or strengthen oaths or literally anything. The possibilities remain rather endless, though your idea of each of them assisting the shards magic system is new to me, so props for that.

Well connection can be manipulated through several means and it’s possible, if a bit difficult, to do exactly what Hoid does as long as you have enough knowledge. As far as I know planetary connection is genetic, you will have a connection to whatever world your ancestors are from even if you’ve been on another one for generations. I believe someone with Nalthian parents can be born with a Breath even if they aren’t born on Nalthis. That being said, a good system to start off with to try and get the rest of them is Scadrial. You want Feruchemy off the bat, preferably full feruchemist but the right kind of ferring works. You can just get lerasium on Scadrial if you know what you’re doing and there’s Allomancy, and with more lerasium and other god metals you should be able to forge a connection to each shard, gaining more abilities. Additionally, duralumin Feruchemy manipulates connection and might assist in tricking the spirit web to let magics stick better. Besides, Scadrial lets you know about hemalurgy and with that you can just take whatever magic and connection you want.

Mistborn and Feruchemists can be created with careful breeding, yes. The abilities are genetic and can be selectively bred to create a person with a strong enough connection to be a full mistborn or Feruchemist. A Fullborn, however, probably could not be bred. There’s a WOB I think, though I can’t find it, that talks about how allomancy and Feruchemy sort of cancel each other out, which is why even in the earlier days when both were stronger no fullborn were made. The lord ruler was only able to be a Fullborn because he specifically altered his spiritweb with the power of a god to give himself Allomancy. I don’t think you could breed a true Fullborn, though you should be able to get a mistborn ferring or a misting Feruchemist.

Good. You’ll see a fair bit more of him. Here’s chapter 5

Chapter 4

Here’s Chapter 3

Yes I am aware of this. Ferromancy is called such because I kind of suck at naming magic systems and I just wanted something to mean metal magic. Tapping is something that could be changed, it’s just the first thing I thought of when writing and it fits the magic. Any suggestions to change it?

Of course! Any suggestions are welcome.

Here we go with chapter 2

I’ve got the chapters outlined all I need is the motivation to get them done. One a night is doable. Let me post the prologue so it’s all here. I’ll post chapter 2 tomorrow when I get home from school.

Thank you! How about I post one chapter every day? I have about twenty. Keeps me accountable to write more. It occurs to me that I should have started with the prologue though.

So I posted a thread like this one a couple months ago, and in that time I’ve reworked that story and rewritten some of it. So this is the first chapter of the second version of my novel I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Okay, basing this off of the ars arcanum and the coppermind. I say we use either Daa or Ehe as the base. If we use Ehe we modify with Daa to add some extra kick. We focus it with Ela and hold the beam together with Are and Dao. Now, I do not believe Aon Rao boosts the power of AonDor. I believe that Rao binds the Elantrians together. It is the shape of Elantris because that is the center of the elantrian order, which binds them together. Aons are at full strength when Elantris is functional because the Dor can connect to all the Elantrians. That’s just what I think. Anyway. Lightsaber. It’s gonna take a crazy amount of modifiers to make the whole thing do exactly what it needs to to be a lightsaber, but the Aons above are the ones I think would work best as a base.

Body: Tensoon’s strongman body from Shadows of Self. Skills: Silence Powers: The Breaths Vasher got from Vahr and basic Awakening knowledge, something like Vivenna by the end of Warbreaker. Item: Hemalurgic Spike with a Divine Breath. I get a strong body that isn’t as tall as a Rosharan one, so it’s got maneuverability in the Forests. Silence is the single most capable person at surviving in the Forests that we’ve ever seen, so her skills are perfect. The Breaths Vasher got from Vahr are several hundred strong, giving me somewhere around the fourth heightening. Give me the skill to use them fairly well, plus that investiture, and I’m doing great. I bet life sense could sense shades at least a little bit too. Add on the Divine Breath that doesn’t eat my Breaths, I get maybe all the way to the Sixth Heightening and an obscene amount of investiture to resist the shades. This seems like an optimal set up for the Forests.

Fractal Callsign (the password is password) Ares Devastation Nightfall Blessing Bastion Beyond Unknown Vanisher Chaos Ember Nightstalker Hollow Fury

Fun companions sure. Also terrible enemies. I think my protagonist is gonna have to fight a Fractal at some point in that book and it is not going to be fun.

So I made these two creatures that are a little strange, but are actual creatures and not magical constructs or anything like that. If anyone has a better name suggestion for Paintlings I’m open to it. I could not think of a good alternative. What do you guys think of these?

I have a system that I made up off the top of my head that I have nowhere to put so you can have it if you like the premise. Basically there’s coins, either basic or rare, five base metals for each class. Alloy coins can be made. So the way the magic works is you place the coin under your tongue, and it will grant you the associated ability for a time. The time period depends on the metal of the coin and the power it gives you. Alloys have to be made of the base metals and will grant a slightly diminished form of both abilities for a time period roughly in the middle of the two. This is how I have it set up. Obviously you can change the abilities if you want and if you’re looking for a sort of stigma towards magic you could have the only way to mint the coins be through various numbers of souls, depending on the coin. I’m not sure if this is what you’re looking for I just find it interesting.

So today marks one year of my presence on the Shard. This is also my 100th post. So I thought I would post all of the fantasy things I’ve created in the last year. It’s kind of a lot, so strap in. Nexum This is the world of my current writing project. I have a post that describes the planet itself. The world itself isn’t all that special. Magic on Nexum Fantasy Creatures on Nexum Becrux This is my personal favorite world. It’s a hot, desolate place that is so full of death that what does live there is the most alive you’ll ever find. Magic on Becrux Fantasy Creatures on Becrux Asema This is a particularly interesting world. It’s mostly ocean, with a large supercontinent like Roshar. The entire planet is filled with massive crystal growths, and this is the only known place where a God has died. Magic on Asema Fantasy Creatures on Asema Laetus This world isn’t very planned out yet. It’s going to be interesting but it’s not very developed. Magic on Laetus Laetus doesn’t have any fantasy creatures yet. I know some of these might be a little hard to read so please ask clarifying questions if you’re confused.
