Stormgate he/him Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 So, I believe I have an idea that may break Feruchemistry and Allomancy. What if Wax stored a lot of weight into his iron metalminds, then had them forged into steel, which he then burns? Would he Compound weight? Or would it be turned somehow into speed, making him a de facto Steelrunner? Would the Invested metalminds retain their Invested status at all? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeiryWriter he/him Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 If you alloy a metalmind the charge is lost. Sorry. (If you search the mistborn forum for "allotting a metalmind" there are a couple threads that have wob on this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moogle Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 A metalmind loses its charge when you mix it with another metal and make an alloy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormgate he/him Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 It's a desperate defense, but steel isn't alloyed with another metal. I don't think this works, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natc Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 It's still no longer pure iron, and thus will lose its ability to hold weight charges long before it becomes viable steel during the alloying process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
