Alloy of Law Typo list

[Cuaiir]

Figured someone should start one of these.

Page 202

Two instances of 'chromium' instead of 'cadmium,' which confused the heck out of me for a minute.

[darniil]

Well, if the first one you pointed out was on page 202, that's looking much more promising than WoK.

[Satsuoni]

Not sure if that is an error or not, but what is the deal with being able to push on the metals piercing the body "With difficulty?" Are they stronger Allomantically than before, or is that just an unfortunate turn of phrase?

[Zas678]

I don't think that's a typo. I think that Allomancy has perhaps changed since the Final Empire.

[DariusJenai]

I don't think that's a typo. I think that Allomancy has perhaps changed since the Final Empire.

Not necessarily. Remember, it's been done before, in the battle between Vin and the Lord Ruler.

[Catalyst21]

Page 266

"They'd never treated him like that back in the Roughs. They'd hated him while he'd protected him. Now they loved him while he stole from him."

both of those should be should be them?

I've pinned this topic.

[None70]

In the ARS ARCANUM (don't know the page cause I have a kindle version)

BRONZE : Seeker mistings burn brass

should be

BRONZE : seeker mistings burn bronze

[Catalyst21]

Page 245

"The robberies been become a major embarrassment to them"

Should be had,or have?

Not sure if this is a typo or if it is an example of limited in-world knowledge.

Italics are added to emphasize the problem.

First in Chapter 2:

Did they use a speed bubble, like Wayne makes? Waxillium thought. But no. You couldn’t move in or out of a speed bubble once one was up, and it would be impossible to make one large enough to facilitate this kind of robbery. So far as he knew, at least.

Then in Chapter 9:

The wood crunched, then burst, exploding downward. Waxillium dropped out of Wayne’s bubble of speed and hit real time, the shift jostling him.

If Peter could clarify this that would be great - It could be fairly important to theories.

With this quote from the "Allomantic Space Travel" thread we can probably consider if confirmed:

At the signing I asked Brandon to personalize the book with a suggestion for a unique or rare effect that could be achieved with a metal. He signed

Watch for what happens when something leaves a bendalloy bubble.

He then laughed and said "That won't make any sense for 10 books"

This leads me to believe that this might be related to the FTL travel.

With this quote from the "Allomantic Space Travel" thread we can probably consider if confirmed:

The in book quote is only referring to people not objects. It is quite clear in the books that objects can pass through the time bubble. And the hint in my book from Brandon says something not someone.

So the real question here is can people pass through the edge of a time bubble.

[Ryan]

I have the Kindle edition. This is at location 5259:

Bless you, Ranette, Wax thought, leaping up and Pushing off the coins in a fallen Vanisher's pocket.

Earlier, Miles had ordered Push and Pull to use Allomancy to make sure all of his men were free of any metal. Now, this may well not be an error; it could easily be that Push and Pull blew off the order, or it could be that the Vanisher stuck coins in his pocket after the sweep. But I figured I'd make sure it was done on purpose, and not on accident.

The only other error I found has already been reported. Congrats to Peter and anyone else who proofread the book on a job very well done!

Page 135 3/4 down the page

"The way they kept itching to shoot the building up, they way their boss let himself be goaded into shooting Peterus..."

"they" should probably be "the"

[PeterAhlstrom]

I'm not totally sure what Wax meant when he said that.

**SPOILER WARNING**

I was confused by this line when Marasi was talking about being a Pulser (page 152 in the Nook ebook):

"Speeding up time... that is amazing. But what can one do with slowing it down, and only for myself?"

Yet later on she is able to create a bubble that includes two other people. Does anyone have any insight on this?

[FeatherWriter]

I think she's saying that her bubble includes herself, as opposed to the entire world. It's not the clearest choice of words, but I don't think it implies that her power only works with herself.

[happyman]

Her power definitely does not include *only* her. We actually see it in action later, and the fact that it acts exactly like a speed bubble, but the other direction, is made very clear. She probably just misspoke, or perhaps simply assumed that nobody else would want to be included.

And I agree, this bit of dialogue definitely telegraphed that her power would be useful at the end of the book. Of course, I wasn't completely certain how...

[Arcanist Lupus]

I'm not totally sure what Wax meant when he said that.

I think the best explanation is that Wayne dropped the bubble as they neared the bottom.

I think that what she means is that she can't project the bubble. If she could exclude herself from the bubble, it would be amazingly useful for a variety of things. But since it has to be centered around her, she can't take advantage of the slowed time by herself.

It was my impression that the Vanisher in question was the recently deceased Push, who, as a Coinshot, most likely exempted himself from the "no metal" requirement.

P.S. I thought I had a unique typo when I started this post, then realized it was just intentionally poor in-character grammar when I looked it up to quote.

Okay all, if there are any other errors to report, I need them within the next 21 hours or so. It's already time for us to make fixes for the mass market paperback.

p202¶12 burn some chromium, and poof, >> burn some cadmium, and poof,

p202¶213 Chromium burns way more >> Cadmium burns way more

p247¶3 The robberies been become a major >> The robberies had become a major

[Chicken]

While this is not the correct thread, I didn't find the proper one for Final Empire and it doesn't seem to warrant a new thread so there it is:

Mistborn Final Empire softcover p. 226: "Kell's fine," Breeze said.

I'm sure that's Dockson, Breeze isn't there. However this may or may not be too late to report that.

I agree Aetae. Of the few things I don't like about Brandon's works, his persistent use of "said" as opposed to more descriptive words probably bugs me the most too.
