God metal allomancy/Feruchemy connection?

Quote

“Chromium is used to store Fortune”-Coppermind

“when burned Allomantically grants a more expansive vision of the future”-Coppermind about refined/pure atium

“Fortune is a spiritual property in the cosmere related to seeing the future or versiond of the future”-Coppermind Paraphrased

“Nicrosil is used to store investiture”-Coppermind

Theoretically, if this means ALL investiture (Innate, Kinetic, or potential) then

“Lerasium rewrites your spiritual DNA [Giving permanent innate investiture]”-Coppermind Paraphrased

 

These are all examples of Feruchemy and the godmetals doing eerily similar things. This is, of course only in the Chromium pair, and we don't know what any other god-metals do, but there could be further correlations, at least in the spiritual aspect. If not, maybe Chromium is just the most holy metal?

There is going to be some similarity because:

• God Metals function based on Realmatic traits in line with the Shard's intent (as filtered through the Vessel's perception)
  • A Shard's God Metal may change with a different vessel, but usually won't
• Feruchemy interacts with basic Realmatic Traits in the Physical, Cognitive, and Spiritual Realms (with the fourth "Hybrid" quadrant being physical properties that may not be strictly physical).

Note: Lerasium making somebdy Mistborn is a side effect - had Vin burned the bead instead of Elend, it would have had a different effect.

Questioner (paraphrased)

Are the usual quadrants (Physical, Mental, Temporal, Enhancement) preserved in Feruchemy and Hemalurgy?

Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)

No. In Feruchemy, it is based Realmatically. There is a quadrant of Spiritual, a quadrant of Cognitive and two quadrants of Physical.

Questioner

When a Shard changes hands, does the god-metal change names and/or properties?

Brandon Sanderson

It can. It doesn't as a rule.

Questioner

So it'll still be raysium?

Brandon Sanderson

Yes. Well, the name, you would change the name, probably. But it shouldn't necessarily do anything different. The name that it's given is cultural. So you could continue to call it that. People might call it that. I think people in-world would call it something else. But depends on the person.

As a tidbit, that was a side effect of what that bead of metal did. It wasn't the main purpose of the bead, and if another Allomancer were to burn it, it would do something else.
