+Invocation Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 When Elend burned Atium + Duralumin at the end of Hero of Ages, was that accessing the Spiritual Realm/Fortune for a bit? On a side note, why did it do what it did? Why that of all things? "Sight, Sound, Strength, Power, Glory, Speed!" Why? Also what would happen if 1) someone who was already Mistborn burned Lerasium 2) did the same thing but with Lerasium + Duralumin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calderis Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 As usual, WoBs to the rescue. Quote Wigginns What would a Hemalurgic spike granting atium do for an Allomancer already able to burn atium? Does it function similarly to bronze, granting enhanced atium-ing? Along this line of thought, would enhancing electrum burning via spike be of any advantage? Brandon Sanderson A spike of something you have would enhance your ability, giving your more strength. With atium, more strength makes for a minimal edge--the length you can push out the atium shadows. However, there's a certain breaking point where you kind of crack the whole system, peer straight into the [Spiritual Realm], and kind of have a "It's full of stars" moment. Electrum could reach this same moment, potentially, though there's more interference to fight through. Extra strength in electrum isn't going to be terribly useful up to that point. Alsadius Is that what happened when atium was burned with duralumin? Brandon Sanderson Yes. Footnote: In his original response Brandon mistakenly said burning atium and duralumin would cause the Allomancer to peer into the Cognitive Realm, rather than Spiritual Realm. He has since confirmed that this was a mistake.source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goody153 Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Quote Douglas What about a lerasium savant? Or would that require so much lerasium that the person attempting it would ascend to become a new Shardholder? Brandon Sanderson Basically, this is what Ascension is. source Quote Bithorp On the Coppermind there is this idea that if a natural Mistborn burned Duralumin and then Lerasium it would empower them to godly levels. Would this actually happen or would another effect happen. Brandon Sanderson That actually wouldn't work, but it is a clever idea. source So i assume you just get closer to ascension if you used duralumin. Quote Shardlet If Vin and Elend hypothetically each blindly ingested equivalently sized beads of lerasium, would Vin be a stronger Mistborn than Elend, or would they be equal? Brandon Sanderson Yes, Vin would be stronger. It is additive, not just an overwrite. source Answer to question #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calderis Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Duralumin increases the burn rate of a metal so the power hits all at once. It doesn't actually give you more of the power than was there to begin with, just in a quicker burst. The end result of lerasium with duralumin should be the same thing as without. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Harlem Worldhoppers Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Duralumin + f-Gold for instantaneous healing Duralumin + f-Tin (sight) for Crime Drama to show levels of enhance Duralumin + Bendalloy (+ Harmonium for propulsion) to allow faster than light travel Duralumin + Chromium to timeskip to the next Cosmere book.
