Frustration Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 I've been trying to find what Malatium does in Feruchemy, but I can't find it, in a thread here, in The Coppermind, in the Arcanum. It's as if it doesn't exist, there isn't even a question about it I can find. So have we just never thought to ask Brandon what it does? I would think he would tell us as it will(probably) never come up in the books. Or am I crazy and we already know? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extent that we know of it's Feruchemical properties is that Sazed had experimented with it in Feruchemy but hadn't made any real progress. This is mentioned in either TFE or WOA. I suspect the issue is that while he knew it wasn't Feruchemically inert, he didn't know what was stored with it so he couldn't tap it as a Metalmind (As intent is a big part of the process). Post Ascension he definitely knows, but as there isn't any accessible Atium to use to make the Alloy there isn't really any practical use for the knowledge in ERA 2. Maybe we will see something about it during "The Lost Metal". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honorless Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 These are all the WoBs that the Arcanum has on Malatium: https://wob.coppermind.net/adv_search/?query=Malatium+ Sazed does mention trying to store something in Malatium in the epigraphs but he doesn't get anywhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halyo_Alex Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 It's also possible that it stores something that Sazed couldn't store, like... I dunno, "fertility". That'd be pretty tough for him to store, afaik. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
