Bendalloy Savant


The Deity

Recommended Posts

We have only seen through one Savant's perspective and thats of Spook's Tin Savantism. His eyesight, hearing, feeling, have all been enhanced and it is the ultimate level of being a Tineye. We don't know what a bendalloy savant could do, but we do know that they can alter the size of their bubble. So could a bendalloy savant be able to expand and contract the size of their bubble to move with them, giving them possible F Steel powers?

A Savant would be able to move their bubble, but the energy transfer that occurs when things cross the threshold of a bubble is going to cause problems.

So my quick question: Can you use Identity (I love the speed bubbles!) to anchor speed bubbles to yourself?

Brandon Sanderson

Uh, this is possible. That's less a matter of Identity. What’s gonna happen there, like, the more someone uses the powers, the more familiar and intermingled with their soul the powers become, and they are able to accomplish things that others can't. This would be like a Mistborn learning to hover a coin, right, which they can do, but most think you can't. That's the sort of level we're going with.

Necarion

So a savant could?

Brandon Sanderson

A savant could totally do that. The problem is, things moving in and out of a speed bubble, there's a transference of energy. This is how we keep speed bubbles from irradiating people when light moves through them, right, red shift. And so there's a transfer of energy directly from the Spiritual Realm, which means that moving with a speed bubble, you're gonna run into that, and it's gonna be, it's gonna cause all kinds of problems, but it would be possible.

Would it be more of an Identity question or a Connection issue? Why wouldn't you need to use Investure at all, and only Identity?

Would it also mean that someone/something entering the bubble would have consequences or would it be like exiting a bubble?

Neither. The questioner asked about identity, and Brandon said that identity wasn't really a part of it. And then his explanation implied Savantism, which the question picked up on. This more a matter of overuse warping the spiritweb of the user to make them better with the power, although what the consequences for bendalloy Savantism would be I have no idea.

The issue has to do with conservation if momentum. When a bullet crosses the threshold of a bubble, the deflection that occurs is because of a massive energy shift that makes it so that the bullet is moving at the same speed both inside and outside the bubble. 

If the bubble were moving, that energy shift is going to occur for everything the edge of the bubble passes over.

So...technically it would work, but it would end up shifting a great many things that the Allomancer passed by (that was in the bubble at least)?

And thus draining more investiture making the bubble dissappear faster. Your forcing all these interactions to happen as your running rather than waiting for them. I could see it depleting a bubble within seconds
