Ianastor01 Posted March 7, 2024 Posted March 7, 2024 Imagine that you are a copper savant, is it possible to manipulate the size of the cloud and its density? I mean, clubs could make a cloud the size of a building. Could he perhaps reduce the size of his copper cloud, and make it cover only him, in exchange making it almost impenetrable for an inquisitor? 1
Voidlit Man he/him Posted March 7, 2024 Posted March 7, 2024 If I remember correctly, Clubs couldn't cover the entire building, he had several people burning copper at all times to cover the area. I would guess that you can manipulate at least the size of a copper cloud, but I'm not sure about density

We don't know what a copper Savant could do, but this seems possible. A skilled bendalloy Misting can manipulate the size of his bubble and the time shift it does - not even a Savant, Wayne did that in TLM. I'm not sure about the density part, but a Savant would be more powerful than normal Misting, so their Copperclouds would be more resilient to piercing anyway. WoB about bendalloy bubbles: Spoiler Questioner With a cadmium or bendalloy savant, would they be able to impact the amount of time that they can compress or expand? Brandon Sanderson Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Questioner So they could fit-- Theoretically they could make-- fit more time into the same amount of metal. Brandon Sanderson Oh, that's what you're asking. Yeee-- *pauses* So, yes, technically, because... Yes, but mostly what that's going to do is going to influence your strength and how much you can multiply-- Questioner The size of the bubble? Brandon Sanderson The size of the bubble and the amount of time, like when you flare, you are pressing more time into it and a savant is gonna get really good at that. They're gonna get good at changing the bubble and the shape of the bubble, they're gonna get good at some of the other things involving the bubble. It does technically, as you become a savant, does mean you're able to squeeze a little bit more out of your metal, because that's just how it works, but that's not the main effect. Skyward San Francisco signing (Nov. 8, 2018) A skilled Smoker can shield other people from emotional Allomancy: Spoiler Questioner Also speaking of continutiy... Brandon Sanderson Uh oh. Questioner This is a very very minor spoiler. It's just a statement that was made in Alloy of Law, that Smokers could... Brandon Sanderson Oh yeah, that was just a typo Questioner Is that going to change things? Brandon Sanderson Wait, go ahead and say it. Questioner Can Copperclouds shield others' emotions? Brandon Sanderson Oh okay. Did we put that in Alloy of Law in the Ars Arcanum? Is that where you read it? Questioner I forget. I don't remember where it is. Brandon Sanderson I believe it’s in the Ars Arcanum, which in Alloy of Law was put together by Peter. And that’s mostly a mistake, though the thing is the Role Playing Game came to me and said “Is it feasible that this could happen?” And I said “It’s perhaps feasible, but only a very rare individual could make this work if they knew exactly what they were doing.” And so I said “Yeah, go ahead, but make it a power that someone really has to know what they’re doing to make it work.” And so they put it in, and so Peter assumed that it was canon, that anyone can do it, but that’s not what I intended. Questioner So would it be easier to say that somebody discovered they could do it and now they are training copperclouds to do it? Brandon Sanderson I would say that it is viable that someone could figure it out, but it would be a very difficult thing to train, and it is not a common Coppercloud—A common Coppercloud isn’t going to be able to be doing it, and almost no Mistborn will ever be capable of doing it, they just don’t focus on that metal enough to learn it. Of course, there aren’t Mistborn around anymore. So it is a possible power, it is plausible, but it is not the standard. Perhaps I will allow it to become the standard eventually, but it’s not right now. It would be much easier to wear a tinfoil hat. (laughter) Aluminum, aluminum. Which does work.

Ianastor01 Posted March 9, 2024 Author Posted March 9, 2024 I wonder if a seeker can do the same, lower their reach, in exchange of piercing near copper clouds. And i mean, really near copper clouds.
