ChayShan... I just think it's really interesting. (I'm guessing you mean Cosmere)

Definitely Allomancy. In today's world there's just so much metal to take advantage of with Steelpushing.

As for your question, probably Feruchemy or Allomancy. I work a lot with metal, so those would be ideal

Sanderson specific? I'd go with Feruchemy. Would be nice to finally get a use out of this ring I've been wearing...

Then again, it's made of bronze, and god knows I don't need anymore incentives for wasting away my evenings writing stories and posting things on the net.

If I could go with absolutely anything else though I'd go for Jim Butcher's Fury system (read: less complicated spren magic), magic in Mage: The Ascension, or general blood magic from DA.

Twinborn, probably, though being an Oculator wouldn't be too bad.

Either Mistborn or Knight Radiant. Both really powerful if you use them right.

It's a hard choice, but I think a post-Calamity Epic would be pretty fun. Who doesn't want to be a superhero? Plus you have the multiverse aspect too, it'd be as fun to universe-hop as it would be to world-hop!

Feruchemy, or maybe Forgery.  F:Brass would be so useful...

Feruchemy for sure!

It may not be the most impressive magic (Alcomancy / Surgebinding) but it's uber balanced and very practical if your world isn't ending :)

I've wanted to play a steel twinborn in a campaign at some point.  But I recently found out that you *can* burn up in atmosphere by overusing steelrunning... so that's fun!

I would be either a rithmatist or a forger. Rithmatist because I so want to vs people in it and a forger because I would want to experiment......

 

just a question though staccato what fury would you have. I like metal so I can turn into metal and be epic.

Oh wow you've read Jim Butcher too! Awesome! To be honest all the furies are awesome though I have some reservations with metal (don't get me wrong, it's epic!) but I'm a little more inclined to furycrafting where the fury actually takes shape. I'd like to say water because empathy and shapeshifting is way, way cool - but the average human being is horny more than 70% of the time and I don't want to be in the receiving end of that all.

My second answer would be wood - it isn't flashy or anything, and there's little to no utility to it in the real word, but I liked the way Fidelias described the way his racoon wood fury looked like. Like stray bits of wood and shrubbery appearing alongside an interplay of shadow, a fury you can only see out of the corner of your eye. JUST AWESOME.

So I would like a wood fury - I'd want him to appear as a golden monkey like Marisa Coulter's daemon from The Golden Compass and I'd call him Bartholomy. :D
