  1. This shall be the almighty list of reverse compounding for all books thus far. Feel free to add on to anything I missed. for those of you unaware, reverse-compounding is like a weaker form of full on compounding. Compounding is a magical hack that squeezes an abnormal amount of feruchemy from a metalmind when it is burned. Reverse compounding is a simple breaking of the end-neutrality of feruchemy by using some sort of outside force to increase a storable ability. This basically allows you to do a few cool things, most importantly of which is the ability to become a feruchemical savant. Reverse compounding is most easily done with a combination of allomancy and feruchemy, so we’ll start there. My list will be going down each feruchemantic ability and seeing what other forms of allomancy/feruchemy can be reverse compounded in the metalmind. This will not be covering how other magic systems affect the mix, which will likely be a separate post. I will also note that something like storing weight while tapping strength does not count as reverse compounding, as that extra weight still comes from you. While it sure is nice, and enables extra versatility within metalminds, it ain’t reverse compounding. I also will not be counting compounding for this post, as that’s fairly self-explanatory. with all that out of the way, let’s get started Iron: Iron stores weight, but doesn’t do much else. As we have seen in the books, it has been quite versatile, but it doesn’t do much reverse-compounding wise. Steel: now steel’s more interesting. You can reverse compound pewter’s extra speed, which can end up being quite useful without inhibiting pewter much. You could also maybe reverse compound F-iron, but it seems unlikely. Bendalloy could maybe be used to reverse compound, but it seems extra unlikely, as bendalloy does diddly squat to your body’s capabilities. Tin: tin is the king of reverse compounding, easily beating any other metal. With tin you can store any extra senses created by metals, including steel/iron sense, bronze sense, as well as atium, electrum, and gold shadows. Additionally, it can store extra balance gained from A-pewter and F-steel. I would argue it can also store the G-force resistance from F-steel as well. Of course, it can also reverse compound senses gained from A-tin. For those keeping track, that means that F-tin can store every physical allomantic ability, as well as 4 others. That’s 8 of the 17 twinborn combinations that can reverse compound! And that’s not including the feruchemical reverse compounding. The main downside is that each of these effects that are stored are quite important to the functioning of the other ability, so you can’t do much with the other metal while you are reverse compounding it. Pewter: pewter stores physical muscle mass. Unfortunately, this means it is unable to even reverse compound with A-pewter, which doesn’t affect muscle mass at all. A useful feruchemantic metal, but not for our sake. Zinc: zinc is actually quite interesting. Atium has shows that it increases mental speed, as does F-steel. You could argue that you could store the additional mental speed from a bronzemind, but sadly that would not count as reverse compounding. Brass: brass stores warmth. I had thought before TLM that brass did not have anything it could reverse compound, but due to Wax subconsciously burning pewter to stay warm in the water, we know know that A-pewter can be reverse compounded! This is actually really convenient for a twinborn, as the extra warmth granted from pewter is almost never valuable, enabling the user to reverse compound whenever pewter is burned. Copper: copper stores memories. While useful, it has no reverse compounding applications that I can see. Bronze: bronze stores wakefulness. Pewter assists with wakefulness, if I recall correctly, so that could likely be reverse compounded. Past that, while there is uses for assisting with F-gold or F-electrum, neither would really count for reverse compounding. Chromium: Chromium stores fortune, which is a finicky thing in the Cosmere. Atium gives some sort of fortune, yet I have no clue how that would exactly work. Would it spawn atium shadows? Who knows. So there are reverse compounding capabilities, but they are limited and weird. Nicrosil: Nicrosil stores investiture, specifically innate investiture, which is your ability to use a certain ability. While it is fundamental for the process of making unsealed metalminds, it does not have any reverse compounding uses. Aluminum: Aluminum stores identity, which is weird, but not helpful here. Duralumin: Duralumin stores connection, which can be very useful for a worldhopper, it does nothing here. Cadmium: Cadmium stores breath. F-gold can help squeeze some extra breath out of you when storing, but doesn’t reverse compound. I think it’s fair to say pewter can help here, as pewter allows you to survive with less air. Bendalloy: Bendalloy stores energy, specifically caloric intake. So while you would think pewter, tin, F-steel, or F-bronze would allow reverse compounding, I don’t think it does. You could maybe do something with F-gold, but it wouldn’t really be reverse compounding. Gold: gold stores health. I think it’s safe to say that you could reverse compound with pewter. Interestingly enough, I think there’s some interesting shenanigans you can do with F-aluminum and identity, as gold acts based off of your spiritual identity. Wouldn’t help for reverse compounding, but an interesting note. Electrum: electrum stores determination. You sadly cannot riot yourself to make you more determined, but you could get other people to do that for you, allowing you to reverse compound. Don’t know how useful it would be, but a cool thought. Atium: atium sort of stores age. While I think there’s some weird applications with temporal allomancy and speed/slowness bubbles, I’m not sure it would actually reverse compound. An interesting question though. Alright, I think that’s all of them. For those keeping track, pewter is the best allomantic metal at reverse compounding, reverse compounding with 7 of the 17 feruchemantic metals. Tin is the undisputed best at reverse compounding on the feruchemantic side, with a whopping 8 out of 17 allomantic metals enabling reverse compounding. 8 of the 17 feruchemantic metals can reverse compounded without actual compounding, and 9 of the 17 allomantic metals can help reverse compound. If you have more reverse compounding instances, please let me know. It’s really cool to see, and I hope we see some interesting applications in-world.
