Mislight Menace Posted April 19, 2023 Posted April 19, 2023 Hey, you know how lerasium gives you the power to use the investiture of a specific Shard when alloyed with it? how would that work with Atium and Hemalurgy? 1

Yes, Lerasium alloyed with other god metals gives you the invested art of that Shard. Spoiler Stormlightning If Hoid was to get his hands on "bavadinium," could he alloy it with lerasium and get Sand Mastery? Brandon Sanderson This is theoretically possible. FanX 2018 (Sept. 6, 2018) But Learsium-Atium alloy? We don't know what it does. It would either end the world or "rewrite your spiritual DNA with Atium power", whatever it means: Spoiler Questioner (paraphrased) What will an Atium-Lerasium Alloy do ? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) Ah, I've been asked this before. There are a number of theories, but nobody's really sure, since there haven't really been any opportunities to alloy lerasium with atium. You can choose which one to believe. Most require an understanding of realmatic theory to comprehend, which you need to be a Shard or Splinter to even begin to understand.What Lerasium is, is essentially a hack for something like your spiritual DNA. It rewrites what your spiritual self is capable of. So, combined with atium, which allows you a glimpse into the vision of everything - past, present, future - the theories say it could do one of two things. It could either create a substance so volatile that it would have world-ending repercussions, or rewrite your "spiritual DNA" (his phrase, not mine) with atium's power. Is that a vague enough answer? TWG Posts (March 23, 2010) It's likely that Lerasium-Atium alloy grants Feruchemy, as Feruchemy is both from Preservation and Ruin, and there is a way to use both god metals to give Feruchemy: Spoiler Yoitsthew Would a Lerasium/Atium alloy create a Feruchemist, rather than an atium misting?? What with the way that it’s an alloy of god metals, and the way that lerasium can be used to acquire other magics? As far as I know there is no lerasium left currently, so this one is also just for my curiosity!! Brandon Sanderson You can use the god metals from Scadrial to make a Feruchemist, but I have to RAFO the actual means. General Reddit 2020 (Sept. 30, 2020) That's all we know about alloy. Lerasium spike alone steals all attributes, but that's wasteful per WoB: Spoiler Questioner 1 What would happen if you used lerasium as a spike for Hemalurgy? Brandon Sanderson Oh lerasium as a spike for Hemalurgy? Um lerasium as a spike for Hemalurgy-- Questioner 1 Would it work or would it just not work? Brandon Sanderson No I mean it would work-- Questioner 1 If you were to place a lerasium spike would you transform into a full Mistborn as opposed to-- Questioner 2 Well it can also steal powers, not just grant them, right? Brandon Sanderson Um, right. The thing about it is you're trying to Invest something that is already very Invested, which always has weird effects. So while you could do it, it would be a gross waste of the potential. It's like using a nuclear bomb as a paperweight. It is functional but-- Questioner 1 Does that mean it would be hard, for example, to make Nightblood stick something? Because-- Brandon Sanderson Yes it would be very hard to make Nightblood stick to something. The amount of Investiture in Nightblood is-- Bystander Astronomical? Brandon Sanderson Yes. Larger than most things you've seen. So Pushing on Nightblood, really hard. Shadows of Self release party (Oct. 5, 2015) And Lerasium-Atium spike? No idea. But you know how iron steals physical attribute of strength, and steel, which is an alloy of iron, steals physical Allomancy? Well, maybe it would do something like that, something weird, or steal all attributes and any power at once? 31 minutes ago, The Last Fæ said: Harmonium... Lerasium-Atium alloy is not Harmonium! And you can't get Lerasium and Atium via normal, mechanichal methods from Harmonium Spoiler Questioner If I were to alloy atium and lerasium, would I get harmonium? Or is harmonium different after the Shards combined? Brandon Sanderson It's different after the Shards combined. Questioner If I was to take harmonium and separate it out through distillation, would I get lerasium and atium or something that functions similarly? Brandon Sanderson No, you would-- It actually has become a different-- Questioner Can't be split? Brandon Sanderson Yeah. I mean, you could find a way, but you're not going to get it through normal, mechanical means. Skyward Houston signing (Nov. 19, 2018)
Tea Leaf Posted April 20, 2023 Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) Okay with that above correction there are four potential outcomes. 1. Feruchemy, Feruchemy is of both Ruin and Preservation so this seems logical because it would be common ground between the two. 2. sDNA (I don't understand how this would work) 3. Hemalurgy, which is of Ruin and would be how Lerasium should work. But Hemalurgy is not genetic (to our knowledge) so this probably won't work 4. Bomb, so this is how the two may repel each other which we see from Harmonium and Trellium. Since these have further opposite investure and intent this would be a much more volatile reaction.

But here, I have no idea what it could make you into. 25 minutes ago, The Last Fæ said: 4. Bomb, so this is how the two may repel each other which we see from Harmonium and Trellium. Since these have further opposite investure and intent this would be a much more volatile reaction. There is no proof that Atium and Lerasium repel each other, like Trellium and Harmonium. I doubt it. But tbf we've never seen those two together.
