1AdolfoJose1 Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 We remember the scene where Vin swallowed Sazed’s Metalmind and nothing happened. Because the Identity in the Metalmind didn’t match Vin’s. But what if Sazed had access to aluminum and blanked his Identity while Filling the Metalmind? We know that only people with the relevant Feruchemical ability can extract the power from an Unkeyed Metalmind(Ex. Wayne using an Unkeyed Goldmind). But could a Mistborn, or any Allomancer with the matching metal, gain something from it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would effectively double the powers an Allomancer could access, giving them a second effect for every metal they can burn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanLemon Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Yeah, it would work but for some powers it would mostly be a waste without the Feruchemical ability to store the excess. Though it could be very useful for when they need it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal Khol Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) It would work. in your method, you're effectively creating a new "key" -overwriting the old one- to access the power. A key which will grant Feruchemical abilities(or more specifically, Allomantic abilities that mimic Feruchemy -how i view it-) when burned by an Allomancer. Though, they will be unable to store the attributes they get from burning the metal(no compounding), because they arent feruchemists Edited January 27, 2021 by Eternal Khol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphaborn Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Still, it is useful. An Augur could use an unkeyed goldmind like Wayne's for healing. That would unfortunately become extinct, and so would gold, but I doubt that you will bother with it when you are close to death. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
