Compound so much Weight that you gravitationally attract objects.

Use this ability to avoid getting off the couch when the remote is across the room.

Not positive but I didn't think ferruchemical iron worked that way.

It's unclear, at best. I saw a recent WoB that said this type of thing would be (somewhat) cleared up in the next 2 Mistborn books

Sacrifice a Dakhor monk to teleport from home to the shop to pick up food then another to teleport to the cashier as you're laden with bags 

Use Chay Shan as a warm up before walking the dogs

Use a Steel Push to cause a domino run

Riot/Soothe a club/bar to dance very badly to a rubbish song

Lash a car a few times so it just hovers in the air

Stick a label onto an object with stormlight instead of using the adhesive side but label it incorrectly (reusable) watch as passing scholars get irate

Mistborn 1 Spoilers:

Malatium is Atium's opposite. It shows you someone else's gold shadow.

Mistborn 3 Spoilers:

That's just the atium-gold compound though. There are at least 16 of those. And both atium and malatium are seemingly internal and go right off the chart because of it. Fundamentally the opposite of atium is lerasium.

In terms of power useage, however, electrum is closest to the opposite, seeing your own shadows. Though technically it is the gold alloy. Which is what he described.

Use Bendalloy to quickly fix spelling errors like natc's before it can be pointed out by jerks like LabRat

This is basically what they already do.

 

burn cadmium and play a long game of Civilization that takes weeks instead of just days to complete

Burn Cadmium to make your least favorite class longer.

build an oathgate like fabrial to teleport you across the street.

Use lashings so that gravity is reversed for a day... (Actually, that would be a great senior prank. Now just getting that to work...)

Soulstamp yourself into a stick.

Awaken a stick with the command to say "I am a stick." (Sorry, I had to!)

Fill a coppermind with evert digit of Pi. 

Store your identity and memories in metal minds (Aluminum and copper, respectively) and lock them away so that you have no idea who you are and are an amnesiac. (Store even the memories of where you locked up your metal minds and hid the key, so you will never find them again...)

Spike yourself with a hemalurgic spike that has a vampire's tribute to burn up in the sun while out on a hot summer day.

Make this attempt your life's work. Profit?

 

Create an "inquisitor" using only gold spikes charged with Feruchemical steel. Have this inquisitor store speed for a couple weeks, and then make them deliver themself somewhere else. Use this solely as a method of transporting gold.

As an Archivist, store memories in copperminds to record the entire Fibinacci sequence, and every digit of Pi ;) - Extra bonus points if you make it your life's work.

 

Cling to the outside of a plane and use pewter to hang on for the duration of the journey.

But wouldn't you die of either freezing to death or oxygen deprivation? Perhaps you could also abuse some other powers of storing heat and breath.

This would probably actually make the class shorter: outside the classroom time would be running at normal speed so the bells would ring when they normally do.

 

You'd need bendalloy, and a ton of it, to make the class actually take longer

Where is everyone getting the infinite stores of copper from?

*impossible

**useless

***why?

****extremely unlikely
