arandomperson1234 Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Does one need to touch the other person’s skin to leach their metal reserves? Or will grabbing someone by the arm allow you to leach them through their shirt?
alder24 Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 We don't know tbf. It only happened once and it was done by a primar cube. TLM spoliers: Spoiler Few times leeching was done it was mostly described by touching a head/face, other times they were tackling and leeching was done, without description of where they were touched. Main characters warned each other not to get too close to him. 1
Quantus he/him Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 I dont know of an in-text example to point to, but it will probably penetrate thin, non-aluminum clothing a small distance. Per WOB the protective effects of Aluminum are a field-like effect, and I suspect that the Touch range of Allomancy has some similar field-effect wiggle room, just like the earring & tooth-filling loopholes with Hemalurgy that can get around the Touching Blood requirement. 2
