pewter compounding

[Stefano]

Reading mistborn era 2 books, i relised that no main character uses pewter, where it was "protagonist" in the first era.

I was thinking about the power of a pewter/pewter compounder: shouldn't he be almost immortal?

In era 1, Kel and Vin use pewter for super strength, speed, stamina and even healing (a lot of time they recover critical wounds burning pewter)

A-pewter and F-pewter do the same thing, so compounding should be particularly effective and cheap.

Is it possible that compunding pewter grants gold like healing, and steel like speed? In that case it would be really OP

[+Invocation]

It doesn't heal to the same extent F-Gold does. Gold restores to a Spiritual ideal self everyone has, while pewter just helps the body along. That's why the key is to hit them and keep them down for long enough that their brain realizes they're supposed to be dead instead of beating you to pieces.

But burning pewter heals as well, if burning pewter can heal a mortal wound in few days, flaring pewter x1000 should grant instant healing like gold. Same for speed: if burning pewter grants horse speed, flaring it 1000x should give f-steel like speed

Compounding gives you the feruchemical ability not the alomantic one.  F pewter is mussel strength nothing else.  Also flaring pewter too much is really bad for your body.  It has some benefits but nothing like you are talking about and the dependency wrecks you like a really bad drug.
