AonEne he/him Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Did anyone say he was dead in the first place?
Ishar Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 1 hour ago, Undead Wookiee said: I thought Atium was in the base 16 metals - since 16% got sick/died - and 1 in 16 got sick longer and those were the Atium Mistings. It's not. That part of the book still confuses me. Maybe Leras wanted to snap the atium mistings

+Extesian he/him Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 @Ishar @Undead Wookiee the mists were snapping people to make allomancers to fight Ruin. Preservation actually swapped out aluminum for atium so it could be burned, to put it simply Quote wicktacular At the end of the first Mistborn trilogy it's really significant that 1/16th of the soldiers who got really sick are now atium Mistings. Brandon Sanderson Yes. Brandon Sanderson Yes. Sixteen that he-- when Preservation set that all up. He, number one, was not all there. But he was trying to create sixteen as a symbol to say, "Hey, catch this. I've given you a clue-- uh-- help." And so it was devised specifically for that. "*inaudible* Something's going on here." wicktacular But we know that there's more than sixteen metals. Wh-- wicktacular questioner's paraphrase, delete after review: So, were the other remaining group of soldiers that fell sick all still Mistings of the other base metals? So were there-- were 1/16th of the rest of them just *inaudible* just not significant? Brandon Sanderson No, no, they would have been Mistings of other types as well. wicktacular Did he bump one of the other types then to make it sixteen? Brandon Sanderson Yeah. wicktacular Okay. Do you have in your head *inaudible*? Brandon Sanderson Chromium. Brandon Sanderson Yes, that's right. It would probably have been one of the metals that was difficult to get at that level of technology. It would have been chromium - chromium would be hard gather at that time. Actually, no, it would have been aluminum. *about a minute later, while signing someone else's book* Hold on, there's a caveat to that last answer. Let me finish signing this and expand on that. *pause* So, it would still have been aluminum, but not for the reason your thinking. It would have been aluminum, but there's an asterisk next to that answer. wicktacular Chromium? wicktacular Okay. Interesting. Brandon Sanderson Hard to get chromium. wicktacular I've been thinking about-- Brandon Sanderson Oh no! He bumped aluminum. Yeah, he bumped aluminum. Sorry I had to-- I changed my mind. wicktacular Oh! Brandon Sanderson *a moment later* Okay, Chad? I have a <qualification> for you. I'll do this and then we'll... *a moment later* So... wicktacular On the sixteen or the *inaudible*... Brandon Sanderson The sixteen. So the answer is "yes," but it's not something-- it's not what you're thinking it is. wicktacular Okay. Brandon Sanderson Alright, there's an asterisk on it, okay? There's an asterisk on it, it's not what you're thinking. Uh, you're making-- you're making assumptions. source 2

Where did you get your lawyers? Help! Roshar and Scadrial. Check the ardentia or the Alethi royal family for the former, and the king of Luthadel or The Assembly for the latter (or The Roughs, if you prefer lawyers with a more punchy-punchy, stabby-stabby approach to law). You know you're a Sanderfan when the best lawyers you know of are from the Cosmere. And they're not even lawyers in canon, really. 5
Reckless Reader Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't most earrings not be Hemalurgic spikes? I seem to remember that to make something a Hemalurgic spike, it needs to be in contact with blood, at least at first. So in that case, only piercing earrings would be Hemalurgic spikes. *fiddles with piercing earrings that haven't been taken out for six months straight* Ruin totally isn't influencing me (I'm just extremely lazy when it comes to jewelry -- or am I?) 2

I was RPing! My character has a bestie!” They said “whatever,” rolled their eyes, and turned away from me. As the thrilling conclusion to this story, I wrote my RP post. 4
