  1. In Mistborn Era 1, we see Mistborn like Vin and Elend discovering Allomantic duralumin (mega-bursts and uses up all reserves for other metals being burned with it). Vin, who is not as strong an Allomancer as the lerasium-created Elend, needs to use a duralumin stack to Soothe or Riot strongly enough to take control of koloss or kandra, where Elend does not. And when Elend uses duralumin, hoo boy. Either way, it "levels up" what the Allomancer could do with that metal even at maximum flare. We are introduced to Leechers and Nicrobursts in Era 2, as chromium and its alloy nicrosil were only discovered after the Catacendre. They are the "external" versions of aluminum and duralumin, where the Mistings of those metals can drain another Allomancer of metal reserves, or do the bursty-stacky thing to someone else. Given the "leveling up" effect we saw in Era 1, and the asbsence of any natural Mistborn in Era 2, you'd think Nicrobursts would be in VERY high demand (especially in the constabulary forces that Marasi is a part of). Somehow we haven't seen one yet in any of the three Era 2 books, though we have seen Leechers (the guy on the train who uses the ettmetal cube as a "Leecher grenade", and Edwarn/Suit having stolen the ability through hemalurgy). But they should be exactly as common as Leechers, or as any other type of Misting (they're all equally common, right? Including the unfortunate "Allomantic gnats"?). Furthermore, the Ars Arcanum entry on nicrobursting mentions that "this can cause issues with metals such as tin, where the mental overload can cause unconsciousness". Also sounds like fun. I'd really like to start seeing both of these uses happen: the "stacking" and the "disrupting" aspects of nicrobursting! And, might there be any extended uses of A-nicrosil? Nicrobursting and Compounding. While ultra-rare, Compounding Twinborn like Miles (gold/gold) do exist, who can burn their own metalminds for a 10x return on the Feruchemical attribute stored therein. And it stands to reason that following the discovery of "unkeyed" metalminds as of "The Bands of Mourning", even ordinary Mistings can now access Feruchemical power (even if they couldn't store the "excess" back into other metalminds and would have to be quite fine with their "burn rate"). Well, what if they were nicrobursted while doing so? When tapping a pewtermind for strength, the Feruchemist physically "Hulks out", and per the Coppermind, "it's possible for a feruchemist to tap so much tha their girth makes it difficult to maneuver." So, imagine a Pewterarm finding an unkeyed pewtermind, ingesting it thinking it was ordinary pewter, then getting an unexpected shock of physical growth when he burns it... And then a Nicroburst lying in wait zaps him to burn the entire pewtermind in one burst. Boom, an immobile tortoise of muscle! LOL! Nicrobursting and... Nicrobursting? What if you chained nicrosbursts together? I'm hoping for something like this: Actually, I don't think nicrobursting a nicroburst to try to "mega-burst" a third Allomancer would do more than a straight up one-level nicroburst, because by definition, the burst is releasing the target Allomancer's metal stores all at once, right? But it's fun to imagine all the same.
