Tamriel Wolfsbaine Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 Twinsoul was able to grow a massive roseite golem and reside inside of it as a huge suit of armor and wielding a massive hammer. I am curious what people think the limits of these sorts of constructs are? How fast could that a roseite mechsuit move? If an Aetherbound had the investiture or water stores for it could they grow roseite steed to match the speed of travel a horse would grant? What would be the limits of this? Could a Roseite bird or dragon fly? There was just such a difference going from making stationary roseite objects that increase quality of life and then making a moving suit carrying not only the Aetherbound and itself but also a large mace. Do you think these effects of roseite would be tied to the users physical abilities? Roseite works as the Aetherbound could without it? If it is limited to what the person inside would be able to do what would happen if a pewter arm was burning pewter while Aetherbinding something like that? Or a feruchemist? We already know Feruchemical steel would let you burn metals faster and compress the benefits into something smaller. Would an Feruchemical steel user be able to cause the Roseite suit or a Roseite steed to move quicker? Would Feruchemical iron allow it to be lighter? How much of a connection does an Aetherbound actually have to the Aether they are making? Obviously it is connected to them so long as they are using it otherwise it wouldnt fall apart so easily when they break that connection.

The Omnibus and Ars Arcanum? I think if you are looking to make connectsion to other Manifestations of Investiture for what little is known of Aethers, you will find the most relevant similarities there. Spoilers: Spoiler For example, it takes at least "three ribbons" of sand for a Sand Master to lift themselves up and "fly." By pushing his dehydration to dangerous levels, Kenton was able to use three ribbons to lift and brace part of a fallen building so that the crew could evacuate the trapped workers. For propulsion, Mastered sand was compared to their steeds as "faster than a walk, slower than a gallop" The images in the linked coppermind page also show some theorized uses for mastered sand.
