Kittalia Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Awaken a calculator to calculate Awaken a cell phone to vibrate If you have long hair, stamp yourself with a pixie cut. All your friends will comment on it, and then when it wears off, pretend that it didn't happen. Instead of studying for huge tests, create a set of stamps that lets you have studied each subject at great length... then stamp yourself with the wrong subject walking into the test.

Necromancer Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Not to make a habit of taking one man's trash as my treasure, but that could be remarkably useful for the physically disabled. Wow... now that's good thinking. Would the pants be able to move with enough force to move its wearers legs, without snapping them in half? Masterful craftsmanship may very well perform miracles! Good thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkum Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Awaken your vial of metals to "not burn." Along those lines: store up a ton of breaths and awaken a coppermind with the command "Forget" P.S. - now I'm curious if an awakened coppermind would be able to access the memories stored inside itself.

kinxer Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 P.S. - now I'm curious if an awakened coppermind would be able to access the memories stored inside itself. No. I don't want to start considering sentient metalminds. Except... Awaken a hemalurgic spike with the command "Avoid blood" Awaken a hemalurgic spike with the command "Talk about morality" Awaken a hemalurgic spike with the command "Be optimistic" Awaken a hemalurgic spike with the command "Denounce hemalurgy" ...

Eilemelie Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Get a bunch of cats and a wagon for them to pull, then store weight until you are light enough for them to pull with ease. Now, the cats might not be willing to pull you, but you could easily get around this by some rioting and soothing. Have them pull you around town while you stamp people's phones to be at 0% battery. Useless but totally awesome. Edit: Wow, my first popular post. Thanks guys! Edited February 9, 2015 by Eilemelie 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Useless but totally awesome. hey, some of my cats liked to sleep over people. but with an ironmind, I could do the opposite: I could sleep over a cat! I'd need to find a way to make the cat bigger than it is so I can use its belly as a pillow...

Incredibly difficult, probably wouldn't work, and would last, at most, a day.Stamp a spike so it's Hemalurgically charged with Allomantic aluminum, then spike someone with it. If this works at all, you now have someone with a spike and a useless* power who might have to restamp the spike periodically to avoid dying. If it doesn't work, well... You tried? *With current Sanderfan knowledge Edited February 5, 2015 by kinxer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidBlue Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Awaken a hemalurgic spike. Depending on the Realmatics involved, if this was possible it might actually be useful. The presence of the breath might be enough to inhibit hemalurgical decay just as placing it in a body does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The presence of the breath might be enough to inhibit hemalurgical decay just as placing it in a body does. That's true, and it's a use I hadn't considered. The amount of Investiture necessary is prohibitive, however. I believe (though I may be mistaken) that doing this requires ~20k Breaths and would make the Spike sentient. Also, as shown with Nightblood, it's possible that it could use some sort of innate Investiture to accomplish its purpose (whatever command that might be), and (also shown with Nightblood) that could make many people unhappy and/or dead. In general, it seems like a bad choice. It may not even be possible, as different kinds of Investiture seem to resist use in other ways or coexistence with other kinds of Investiture (I'm pretty certain a spike can't have both Hemalurgic and Feruchemical charges). Aaand now I feel compelled to contribute to the thread for real... Awaken a textbook to "Be The Way of Kings" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of nowhere Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) awaken your keyboard with the command "post witty stuff on the 17th shard".
