Hazed harmonious Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 Warning! Spoilers for mustborn era 1 and era 2. Ok, so we know that a small portion of atrium still exists in the mistborn world( carried by marsh/ iron eyes). Also, there isn’t any lerasium in the world currently. So wouldn’t that mean that there is more destruction in the world than preservation? Could anyone offer an explanation? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a Faceless Immortal Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 I was under the impression that there was some Lerasium - is that not how Wayne gained his powers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is correct. Also, according to the Coppermind, Wax made some: Quote [Harmonium} reacts in an especially violent manner when heated and made to interact with Trellium, converting part of the metal directly into energy in a powerful explosion. Not even Harmony fully understands how powerful these explosions can be. This, with the proper intent, produces small amounts of atium and lerasium. There are many things about the "balance" in the Scadrial system we don't fully understand: - Kelsier said he always felt Ruin was more powerful than Preservation... so maybe balance has always been an illusion. - Lerasium is not the only manifestation of Preservation; the Mists are the gaseous form of that Investiture. - Humans are believed to contain more Preservation than Ruin, and they are "in the world". - We've only seen a fraction of Scadrial on screen; we have no idea what's happening with the Malwish, the Maskless, and the whole rest of the planet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has actually been asked before Spoiler Chaos (paraphrased) Why is there such an imbalance between the amount of atium and the amount of lerasium in the world? Also, why are atium and lerasium very imbalanced in Allomantic power (Lerasium is far more useful than atium, really)? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) There isn't. Leras is just spread out further. He is in the mists, in the Well, and in the lerasium. Ruin's power however is condensed strictly in atium. https://wob.coppermind.net/events/247/#e5513 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
