Cadmium Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) At the end of The Eleventh Metal, Gemmel finds a book of theories on an Eleventh Metal, throws it away, then digs through Shezler’s metallurgy equipment. Quote Then he carefully and meticulously selected a fork from the fallen tools and other scattered laboratory remains. He smiled and chuckled to himself. “Now that is a fork.” He shoved it into his pocket. So... I’ve searched the forums and WoB and reddit and no results for anyone ever asking, WHY? Why was this fork noteworthy to a cracked Mistborn? Was it just a fancy fork of an allomantic metal? Aluminum? Malatium? Or was it hemalurgically charged? Any theories?

Honestly the only way to figure something out might be to just ask Brandon yourself if anything is up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Invocation Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Imagine if that's the Lost Metal the 7th book is named for. The fork was secretly made of the only Lerasium outside the Well and those mysterious "other places." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koloss17 Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 I want to have gemmel and lift face off, fork to fork, and try to beat each other. Who would win? Nothing but time can tell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read those and they don’t inject anything more interesting into the conversation. really? I thought there were quite a few amusing theories, including the possibility of Hemalurgy and a connection with era 2, beyond the boring, but probably the most likely, Gemmel was just cracked. Also, you don't seem to mind much that many of the responses here on your thread are lighthearted fork battles either? I know that the first one is empty but these are the only threads on the topic, that I could find. I don't see what I did to offend you here: "they don’t inject anything more interesting into the conversation" Edited February 18, 2020 by Honorless 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forkbattle between Edgedancer and Mistborn. Wouldn't want to be arguing over the wrong thing. I mean a Mistborn obviously wins a spoonbattle, but forkbattles are an entirely different animal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadmium Posted February 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) Eureka! Well of Ascension, Part one. Vin receives a package from a metallurgist with a sample of Duralumin. The note attached mentions that aluminum is hard to come by, but the writer managed to buy some aluminum flatware from a fleeing noble’s estate. There’s at least a tiny bit of confirmation that Gemmel’s fork could’ve been aluminum. Guess I know what I’ll be asking Brandon next time he stops through!

Xaladin Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) I thought it was heavily implied to be a fork of Atium. Gemmel wouldn’t have been much impressed by anything else, and we know Atium is required to make Malatium.

Weltall Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 I am quite certain that Kelsier would have noticed an entire fork being made out of atium and commented on it. Especially given how much money that much atium represents and how utterly absurd it would be to make an eating utensil out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koloss17 Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 So gemmel is an experienced mistborn, but slightly deranged. lift is an edgedancer, making her frictionless, but she is just a child with not much knowledge of her powers, not to mention that she has a shardfork that doesn’t want to kill people or harm them, for that matter. with a fork off, I would think it would be without magic, but i’d reckon that gemmel would cheat a bit, wyndle or lift would notice, and start doing a bit of cheatery as well. The probably wouldn’t go all out, but it would still be intense. Most likely it wouldn’t be to the death either. Gemmel wouldn’t restrain himself even though it is a child he’s facing. in the end, I would think Lift+Wyndle would win, and gemmel would probably accuse Lift of cheating, to which Lift would say he started it. Most likely gemmel would also want to trade for the shardfork as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skaromas Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 I find it more likely that it is a normal fork, because why would someone make a fork out of Atium of Malatium? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
