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

@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

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.

Am I a Digital Shadow? Is this real life?

when your little cousin, who is only four years old asks you to tell a story, and you immediately want to tell her the story "The Girl Who Looked Up."

when you are using cosmere swears and end up creating a sentence that starts "Who in the name of You do you think you are..." and realize you just swore three times in six words...

This keeps happening to you, doesn't it?  :lol:  (They're talking about a different Cal, don't worry about it.  ...Though if you look around you and see a bunch of binary code and programming language floating in midair and various other computery-sci-fi-esque surroundings, it probably means that you are indeed a Shadow in the Digital Realm, so feel free to worry about that instead.)

@Zath! Where did you get your lawyers? Help! :P

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.

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?<_<)

RP stuff. Don’t worry about it.

When your mother is talking about the end of the world and people coming back to life, and she uses the end of MB Era One as an example. And then you start talking about Regrowth.

When you greet a friend at work with "What happened? And good morning btw"

He just started listening to WoK....

YKYASF (or rather a 17S user) when you’re spending so much time on the Shard that a friend grabs your phone and chucks it across the room screaming “What are you always doing on the website?!?!?!”

I was like “NOOOO give it back! 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. :lol:

When you are rewatching frozen with your little sister and start making comparisons to sanderson's books

Elsa is an ice epic

Hans is next in line for house Sadeas

Olaf and Marshmallow are type 4 sentient objects

Sven is a reindeer Ryshadium.

those are the ones I remember. I'm pretty sure there are more I thought of but forgot.

@Queen Elsa Steelheart Would agree.

You know you're a sanderfan when you see Bastille on an album and think of the character.

When constantly try to figure out if the next fantasy series you are reading contains a systematic, unique and well-defined magic system that you are used too from Sanderson novels.

When you start freaking out cuz someone in a magazine article said they like Brandon Sanderson books and you immediately check to see where they live and if there's any way you could get in contact with them.

I am not ashamed.
