Haradion Drogon Posted August 31, 2013 Author Posted August 31, 2013 Wait! I know this has been a while, but I have found some new evidence. I am now firmly convinced that All mistings can burn their God Metal Alloys. When explicitly asked here: http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/2383-qa-with-brandon-sanderson/page-4#entry42124 Post #78 He Replied: There are metals which exist that any Allomancer can burn, regardless of their own orientation. Now this is interesting. We know he could be referring to Lerasium, which we know anyone, even Non-Allomancers, can burn. But he said Metals. Plural. Now we know it isn't Atium - we know full well that mistings can't burn it, besides Atium Mistings. So. What does that leave? The God Metal Alloys? Since Lerasium can be burnt by anyone, we can assume that their Alloys can to. (In fact, it is common knowledge here that a Lerasium Alloy will produce a Misting, so non-Allomancers, can burn that to. I suggest, therefore, that The Atium-Alloys that exist, Atium-Steel, Atium-Copper, etc, can be burned - possibly by the whole population, but I think, more likely, by Mistborn, and any Mistings that can burn their Alloyed metal. It hasn't really changed my Theory much, but there you go. More to talk about.
Kadrok she/her Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 We know that anyone can burn Lerasium and its alloys (which covers metals as you observed), and I would say the "free access" is something unique and distinct about Lerasium. We have no reason to believe that Atium alloys would be burnable by mistings of the alloyed metal, in fact it would be awfully strange if they could; there seems to be nothing about the system that would permit this since the alloy is a distinct metal, and doesn't have any source of the "free access" trait since neither contributing metal has Lerasium's "free access" trait.
