Hoid the Former Drifter Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Can I burn a pewter-lerasium alloy and also a tin-lerasium alloy to gain both powers? (Essentially gaining 2 preservation powers without using hemallurgy) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honorless Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) Brandon had originally said that there was no way to have more than one Allomantic power without being Mistborn or using Hemalurgy but since then has confirmed that Lerasium alloys can turn people into double Mistings Quote Questioner (paraphrased) Could you become a double misting if you took two lerasium/metal alloy beads (I think the example was iron and steel) at the same time? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) Yes. Firefight Phoenix signing (Jan. 21, 2015) Edited July 23, 2020 by Honorless 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karger Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Yes and if those were the only two powers you cared about doing so would be the best possible use of your lerasium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since ALL of the power of the Lerasium would be focused down into 2 metals instead of 16. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could get a resonance too as it’s only two powers. The right pick might produce some pretty dramatic results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In HoA Spoiler did Ruin(pretending to be Kelsier) give Spook pewter-lerasium alloy? I always wondered how he manifested his pewter abilities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmon, Ruin will not use Preservation power... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorzikel Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) @PleatherDuster Mild Cosmere Spoilers Spoiler A Resonance is a Cosmere wide phenomenon in which two magic abilities mix to create a synergy that is effectively a third power. Quote Ray745 You have stated that each Knights Radiant Order gets their own unique ability, for lack of a better word, due to the combination of their Surges. For instance, you have stated this ability for the Windrunners is strength of squires. My question - is this due to the Nahel bond, or just inherent in the Surges combining. Would a non-Radiant get these abilities from the Honorblades, or would they be out of luck due to no Nahel bond? Brandon Sanderson Good question! The unique abilities have more to do with the powers interacting, same as how Twinborn will often manifest some odd side effects of the powers interacting. But there are limitations. For example, Jezrien didn't actually have any squires, as none of the Heralds did. General Reddit 2016 (Oct. 4, 2016) Quote Argent So, the Edgedancer's resonance, the Perk? I think you've called it resonance at some point, is that still accurate? Brandon Sanderson Yeah, that totally works. The powers affect each other in interesting ways. Argent Right. Brandon Sanderson Um, so the thing about it is, calling it a Perk, that like saying-- Argent It's a side effect right? Brandon Sanderson It's less a side effect-- It's like, when the powers merge, they are always slightly different. For instance, Lightweaving from a Truthwatcher is different from-- Slightly. There will be things. So, you're gonna see that they all have access to the Surges, but in combinations, they act a little differently from one another. Questioner So is the Edgedancer's resonance something to do with communication? Because we see Lift-- Brandon Sanderson Yeah, yeah we'll RAFO that. Arcanum Unbounded Chicago signing (Dec. 6, 2016) However if you hold too many powers of any sort the perk is diluted and nothing distinct emerges: Quote Yata There is something that recently was debated by some fans and I hope you may give some clue about the "side effect of interaction between magic" as was pointed in the Twinborn and Surgebinder cases: Are those "perks" stackable? To say if I am a Fullborn like Rashek, wil I have all the possible Twinborn's perks or a specific "Fullborn's perk"? And about the same topic, a Mistborn or Full Feruchemist has his own perk/perks? Brandon Sanderson I've worked under the premise that if you hold too many of the powers, like a Mistborn, the result is a loss of these little quirks. The mechanics of it are interesting, but I'll leave you to theorize on that sort of thing.

Yes, it's a way to get multiple allomantic powers without needing to spike yourself or be a mistborn. Of course, once unsealed medallions become more widespread there will be another way to get multiple powers.

Of course, once unsealed medallions become more widespread there will be another way to get multiple powers. If F-Nicrosil works the way I think it does, Unsealed Nicrosil will let people swap around metalborn powers at will with no spikes needed, almost like Breath transfer on Nalthis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoid the Former Drifter Posted July 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 You can also become a mistborn minus burning aluminum, so your metals won't be wiped! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
