Both those effects make sense for aluminium, being able to store in it doesn't. That's my take anyway. ¤_¤ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also haven't followed the theorising that led to that conclusion, and I'm not sure why it'd be interactable one way but not the other, might boil down to the nitty gritty of how feruchemy functions. ¤_¤ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So were in normal Feruchemy you put it into the SR, and then can draw it back out, Aluminum is one way only 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
