Weight Problem

[Shard of Choice he/him]

Would someone tapping a large amount of weight still be able to move their muscles. We know that the Feruchemy protects the body itself from being destroyed but the weight gain but can the feruchemist still walk around and move? and if so wouldn't that imply that their general strength would increase as well, meaning that a Skimmer could tap weight not in the interest of using the weight but to get stronger? We never see Wax slump or loose muscle ability when tapping weight, even when he taps enough to crush a building with a Steelpush, but does this confirm the idea of his muscles getting stronger? We know he becomes more agile when his weight is lowered because he can move himself easier, so by this logic he should not be able to move at all if his weight gets to high and yet nothing we've seen seems to imply this.

 

What do you guys think

 

EDIT: had an extra "an"

Well, I think that it's more like he doesn't get weaker when he fills, but he does get proportionally stronger as he taps, though only exactly enough to support his own weight

Excellent question.

Thank You very much Kurkistan. That helped immensely
