I'm only 75% sure I never posted here before, but hi! Long time BrandoSando fan, about 1.5 years listening to Shardcast, (shoutout), and impatiently waiting for my next payday so I can order Dark One. I'm a bad poster but I'm the world's okayest commenter!

Hello, all! I'm currently finishing up The Final Empire, and will be proceeding to The Well of Ascension. Obviously I have the test of the Mistborn series, but what else should I read to stay in the universe he built? Thanks in advance!

Hello all, thanks for having such a nice forum where I can ask a question. So I'm in the middle of the first Mistborn book, and I'm trying to figure something out, and I can't decide if I missed something or what. I'm trying REALLY hard to avoid spoilers, which makes simply looking up an answer on Wikipedia or whatever really tricky. Hoping you can help - this is driving me crazy! My question is about the ten metals I'm "supposed" to know exist at this point. Vin has learned to use the eight basic metals, which she knows as: Steel Iron Tin Pewter Brass Bronze Copper Zinc Plus, she and Kelsier have also used Atium, which he refers to as one of the "higher" metals. So that's nine. Kelsier's plan revolves around using a previously-unknown "eleventh" metal. Now, I know as a fan (because I've seen t-shirts and posters and the role playing game and the like) that there are many more than eleven metals. But right now, as a reader, I'm supposed to believe there are ten metals, plus one mysterious metal that only Kel has access to. My question: What's the tenth metal that I'm missing? I only count nine that they've used, and Vin doesn't question the fact that Kel is referring to an eleventh metal. So I'm lead to believe that a tenth metal has been mentioned already, and I either missed it or forgot about it. If this is a basic question that's easily answered in the FAQs or Wiki or something, I apologize - but as I said, it's hard to Google the answer and not spoil yourself. Thanks!
