Possible synergy for A Electrum.

[DoctaDajman]

If an electrum misting were to have some bond to a cosmic entity (maybe harmony through hemalurgy or even one of those primal aethers like silijana) do you think that the cosmic being could communicate to their subject anything about the electrum shadows? 

I think F zinc could be beneficial to making more sense of the information from the shadows. But what if you had a cosmicly powerful being in your mind or bonded in a way to you when you burn it?

Interesting question, let's not involve Shards and Harmony in this because Allomancy is from Harmony and Harmony can see the future on his own so he would be able to probably know what's going on if he wanted to. Allomancy is given because of Connection to Preservation after all. But for example, if an electrum Misting was also an Aetherbound, would their Aether be able to see electrum Shadows? I think not, because it's not the Aether that burns electrum, it's not the Aether's spirit web and Fortune that's affected, it's the Misting who's peering into the Spiritual Realm.

If the power to see the future was coming from that bonded being, then yes, they would be able to see it. One example of this is Glys and Renarin - the power to see the future comes from Glys, a spren bonded to Renarin and that's why they both see the same vision at the same time - they both peer into the Spiritual Realm together.

Okay. I thought it would be a long shot but worth the ask. 

My next question would be this. If a combatant were an aetherbound would they be able to see aether in and on their shadow?  For instance they witness their shadow growing some roseite over their arm as it gets raised, or they watch as vines shoot out of their leg towards where someone is?  

These sorts of tells could offer a lot more insight into what the shadows intention is... and if the shadow is the person who is choosing to grow some aether they are bound to would it show up as a part of their shadow?  

What about any other magic that may be able to interact with electrum. Are awakenings enough a part of a person to be seen or benefit from it?  Probably a large stretch there.

I believe an Aetherbound would be able to see their Aether in electrum Shadow, because it's an intrinsic part of them - it's part of their body, their spirit and their self-perception. 

Awakened objects however are autonomous, they act based on a Command spoken to them before and they are not a part of the Awakener at all, but also are partially alive and self-aware. So I think A-electrum probably won't include that in their shadow.
