Trusk'our he/him Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) Feruchemical Bendalloy can store water and nutrients inside a Metalmind. But what are the limits of this? Most importantly to this topic, since an Allomancer can sort of metabolize metal, could they store metals they swallowed in a Bendalloymind? If they could, it would be a way to drastically increase their Allomantic reserves whilst keeping them highly portable. It also might be a way to bypass Leeching to an extent, since only Metalminds being currently tapped can be Leeched- the Allomancer could just tap a Bendalloymind for a hit of metal after being Leeched and then stop tapping to prevent their Metalminds from being Leeched. You could also use duralumin (if they had a Hemalurgic spike providing its use) in bursts and replace your metal reserves in the blink of an eye, all without needing to hassle with vials or canteens. I now really, really like this idea. Edited October 11, 2023 by Trusk'our

Yyy they don't metabolize metal? This is just a magical thing that's happening, nothing in your body actually "burns" those metals. I don't think you can store them in Bendalloymind. Maybe iron as that's important mineral for your body, but it depends what F-bendalloy actually does. From google: Quote There are seven main classes of nutrients that the body needs. These are carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, fibre and water. At best those could be stored, at worse something less. 1
