0 The Bookwyrm Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 We don't really have any idea. The fact that God metals exist in the first place is really interesting to me, as it tells us a lot about how Shards work and about the nature of their Investiture. But these god metals also have a wide variety of uses, both in things like fabrials and in the Metallic Arts. Brandon has not said anything about the powers of God metals that don't belong to the Scadrian Shards, and so while I think it's likely that there are interesting powers to gain from them, we currently have no way of knowing what those powers are. (I know that's basically an unhelpful rant, sorry. But it's a really good question that I've asked myself many times, so good theorizing!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well let's both just hope that gets answered in the future, cause that would be interesting to find out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Lego Mistborn Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 We likely will figure out, because part of the big man's plan is to introduce all these different cultures to each other in the endgame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Dunkum Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Maybe we will see a bit more in the next Mistborn book. the previous ones have introduced both Et-metal (pretty sure this has been confirmed as Harmonium/Sazedium, but not double checking right now) and Trellium (demonstrated to have some Hemalurgic property). so it's entirely plausible that someone will burn one or both 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its chemicals properties are sort of analogous to cesium. It explodes in contact with water. People are made out of water. You try to spike someone, you try to swallow it, you try to wear it as jewelry, it will not end well. Why in the world would he pick something so inharmonious? Brandon Sanderson He didn't pick it. It's unstable because of the two halves of him not meshing well. Edited May 17, 2022 by Treamayne 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Weltall Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) The closest thing we have to a WoB on this is of course a RAFO but Brandon did say that if you were able to burn the chunk of pure Tanavastium that got chipped off of Ishar's Blade, it would have 'very interesting effects'. He's also said that it's theoretically possible that an alloy of Lerasium and another God Metal could grant access to the magic system(s) associated with the metal.

0 Onironte Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) I think it could do something like "see" and understand all the Connection in your environment, or maybe know if someone is lying. But the main problem is obtaining said metal: Could only be extracted from a Shardblade or by condensing Stormlight Edited June 7, 2022 by Onironte 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
