The Invested Beard Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 I think that would kill him, honestly. Unless you're suggesting he was so weak because they were draining him, in which case why would he be wishing for a miracle and not for the Set to stop draining him? Maybe he doesn't know that they are doing it to him.
CthulhuSpren Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 is irich a leecher? or was that just the allomantic grenade?
The Invested Beard Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 is irich a leecher? or was that just the allomantic grenade? Well the grenades only take someone's ability and make it portable so yeah I think he would be a leacher.
Kadrok she/her Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Maybe he doesn't know that they are doing it to him. What would be their motive? Honestly I just got the impression he was old and dying in a very mundane way, and seeking a non-mundane solution to his problem, rather than that he'd been afflicted magically.
The Invested Beard Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 What would be their motive? Super Gold metalmind?
Kadrok she/her Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Super Gold metalmind? Yes, but why Irich, the expert and Leecher who is willingly helping them research Southern Technology? Why be secretly and constantly draining him of Health (through some unknown means) and subjecting him to unnecessary risk in order to make a Super Gold Metalmind when they could (and apparently do) enslave others to make Super Gold Metalminds for them? We know it's possible for the Set to produce unkeyed Gold Metalminds through a known means (using both Aluminum and Gold Feruchemy), and that they do so. Why suppose some unknown means which is far less efficient (draining one elderly man rather than a group of slaves), redundant to known techniques, and makes a willing servant of the Set less efficient at his job and more at risk of sudden death, necessitating the replacement of a man with potentially unique expertise?
