Proprioception and the sense of balance plus F Tin

[DoctaDajman]

I have to @Koloss17 for this post for obvious reasons F-tin. 

So I have long believed that a person could store that sense of balance and proprioception into Tin minds. I also believe that because A-pewter increases both of those things, a tin ferring could store at a faster rate and at a higher threshold. 

We are use to seeing feruchemy scrape off small amounts of storage over a large amount of time and then compress that attribute into a large boosted enhancement for a short amount of time. Is it possible to do the reverse? If I am laying down safely in my isolation chamber I probably don't need to worry about my senses being dulled. And there isn't an inherently dangerous pitfall to storing 100% of a sense like there is for speed or health or strength. So can I store 100% of all of my senses as I meditate for an hour and then be 125% more sensitive for 4 hours later? If so it leads me to another question. 

My big question would be if it were boosted by say a duralumin enhanced pewter burn would that increased, likely perfected, proprioception be stored as a massive chunk usable in over time?  If proprioception and balance were increased by double their standard while pewter is burning and you store 100% of that then wouldnt you end up with 200% stored over duration of the pewter burn for future use?  

If I had a chunk of pewter that would normally burn over an hour and I duralumin blasted it over a few seconds could I then say I have an hours worth of 200% normal proprioception and balance stored in 2 seconds?  Now I can go around with triple the normal balance and proprioception for an hour for 2 seconds of storage time yeah?

Sounds right to me, you can't live without things like Health or Speed but you can live without sight or hearing. So Windwhisperers should have the easiest time storing large amounts of attributes much more quickly than other Ferrings.

Maybe? If you're storing all of your Proprioception and are using Duralumin to burn allyour pewter up in one big burst, then I don't see why this wouldn't work.

And that's kind of why A-Pewter mixed with most if not any Feruchemical ability is busted, since you can store more of an attribute at once than a normal Ferring can without any drawbacks. 

Now what would tapping a massive amount of proprioception do to someone? That's the more interesting question.

Well... I sort of envision the combo of A-pewter and F-tin being a boosted DareDevil. Adding in an option to duralumin burst your pewter for insane amount of proprioception may enter spidey senses territory. 

In fact I think a duralumin pewter push is the closest thing to Spidermans body mechanics without himself holding back out there... but the sensation of knowing your body in relation to all other objects and space around it sounds a lot like spidey sense IMO.

I hath been summoned.

 

but overall yeah I think your assessment is correct, missing my favorite detail: reverse compounding. 
 

given you are storing senses that aren’t you natural senses, that would allow you to become an F-Tin savant. Whether it would be a savant in just the one sense or the whole thing is unclear, and we also don’t know what a feruchemical savant would do, but it is a neat thing.

and yeah, a burst of A-pewter would essentially just store as much senses as if you were storing the extra senses over time, just faster. And given you can release that in one big burst, I don’t see much use to the duralumin burst beyond just a time saving measure. 
 

I appreciate my summoning, though. Always nice to know I’m remembered o7

You are for sure remembered. 

The pewter being duralumin boosted really is just a time and effort saver. 

Thinking of what life without proprioception would be like is sad. But in this case you can sacrifice some money on metals and store copious amounts of proprioception in just a few moments. Thinking about the fact that you could store weeks worth of pewter enhanced proprioception and balance (probably a two-fer here in that they are each different senses) in just moments. 

Yes, you are willingly sacrificing the other benefits of pewter, but the metal is one of the cheaper metals and it is readily available. If you have the duralumin sitting around for it, you might as well quickly burn as much as you can and fill those metalminds up. Now you dont have to choose to give up the senses over a long period of time. 

This may be one of the only metals that can really allow you to store as if you were a compounder... 10s, 100s, even 1000's+ times faster than just storing it yourself. I mean if you can store 30 minutes worth of that in a second.

It's Likely you could store days worth in jusy slightly more than that same second.
