Captain Coffee Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 So, I was just thinking about the god metals. Since Kelsier held Preservation, did his body turn into Kelsierium? Or, does that not work because he wasn't using his body at the time? Either way, there should be some Vinium somewhere, right?
offer Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 The god metals are made from the power of the shard, not from the vessel holding it. It is just named after the vessel. Preservation`s god was the same during the times of Leras, Kelsier and Vin. 1
Captain Coffee Posted November 6, 2022 Author Posted November 6, 2022 I thought it said somewhere that the god metals are the bodies of the people who take up the Shard. Am I remembering wrong, or was that poetic language?
offer Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 It was said that the godmetals are the bodies the shard and the vessel is the mind behind it so you can say it is a poetic language.

Am I remembering wrong, or was that poetic language? Yeah, it's poetic. God metals are a manifestation of the respective god's Investiture in the Physical Realm. In terms of a regular person, the body is in the Physical, the mind is in the Cognitive, and the spirit is obviously in the Spiritual Realm. In Era 1, Ruin wanted to find the atium stash because, as a manifestation of his power, it was locked in the Physical. He needed to consume it so that power would return to him in the Spiritual and allow him to overwhelm whoever was holding Preservation and destroy Scadrial.
Firesong she/her Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) Technically he could have made one but the properties wouldn't be especially different from Lerasium, same Shard, and not enough time for him to be able to effect the Intent. Edited November 6, 2022 by Firesong
Johnny Silverlight Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 Kelsier held the shard of Preservation, so any metal created or generated during that brief time should still be Lerasium. Harmonium is different because the Shard in question is different.

He didn't hold it long enough for the Intent of the Shard to change enough to make any noticeable difference in the physical manifestation. 1
