Stormtide_Leviathan Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 I was looking through some WoBs and came across this in which, after floundering for a while, Brandon says allomancy is powered by Ruin rather than by Preservation like we know it is. Quote Zantis Let's say Lift received two Hemalurgic spikes: one for Allomantic bendalloy and one for Feruchemical bendalloy. Then she eats a bunch of pancakes, stores the nutrition in a piece of bendalloy, burns it to compound nutrition. Can that nutrition be turned into Stormlight? Brandon Sanderson Yeah. Yeah, but remember she didn't have to be-- so basically what that-- Is just a really complicated way for her to turn Allomantic Investiture-- so that it can allocate Allomantic Investiture into Stormlight. That would be a complex method of doing that. Just transferring one type of Investiture into another. It's just basically drawing from Ruin and she is then turning it into Stormlight-ish? It's a complicated thing, but that's basically what happens, just really crazy. Zantis Okay, so-- but it is the same sort of thing, right? *hesitant nod from Brandon* And-- Brandon Sanderson I hope that eventually in the cosmere they will find easier ways than that. (Emphasis mine) Would it be possible to get a foot note stating that he likely meant preservation, rather than ruin? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lego Mistborn Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) Hemalurgey is the metallic art of the Ruin shard. His reference to Allomantic power should be to Hemalurgic power though. It would be possible to add a footnote, though I'm not sure how to do that.

Onironte Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 I do not think so... When brandon writes something, it stays written... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
