b4dave he/him Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 I was wondering, if I were a Duralumin misting, and I swallowed Duralumin and another metal...would it flare that metal as well, thus releasing its power causing a one time different-power burst, or would it do nothing? And secondly, do we know if its possible for an Allomancer to burn all of his metals at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argent he/him Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 [#1] Nothing interesting will happen. Duralumin works pretty straightforwardly - it gives all the metals you are burning a superburn. You need to be actively burning the other metal in order to get its effect, and as a Misting this is a no go. Otherwise Vin would deplete herself of almost everything every time she burned duralumin, because of the trace amounts of various metals in her system. [#2] Probably. I've seen nothing that suggests otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurkistan he/him Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Just so you know, it is possible to burn Duralumin by itself: it's just that nothing special happens. Vin burned Duralumin by itself (with other metals in her stomach, but not burning) to no effect beyond just the burning of Duralumin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
name_here Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Yeah, the internal enhancement Mistings get a raw deal. Mistborn often flare many metals at once. I don't think anyone has used more than six at once, but there's never been a situation that called for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneKEA Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Keep in mind that Brandon has alluded to the possibility that a Duralumin Misting could use their power to cleanse themselves both of physical poisons and unwanted Investitures if they knew what to do. I have a headcanon visualization of a duralumin savant cutting his finger, touching a charged Hemalurgic spike and then burning his metal to either deplete the charge or destroy the spike. Someone else on the forum sketched a scenario where a duralumin Misting welded a steel wire to a bridge, stabbed the wire into their head and burned duralumin to destroy the entire bridge...

Kurkistan he/him Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) That's Aluminum, not Duralumin. http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/4550-could-a-aluminum-allomancer-remove-basic-lashings-from-himself-could-a-nicroferring-store-the-investiture-from-a-lashing-in-his-metalminds/ Edited November 8, 2013 by Kurkistan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
