2 powers

[Elendtheking]

Hello everyone here is what I'm going to ask you: pick 2 powers from magic systems in the cosmere, tell me which ones they are and explain why you picked them up.( it can be two powers from a same magic system( feruchemy pewter and gold for example)

For me it's allomantic steel and feruchemic iron because in battle you can just fly around if you're a powerful enough allomancer and if someone tries to shoot you, you can change your weight and you can make yourself lighter to fall more slowly so that the shoot misses because you weren't where your opponent thought you were.

[Bugsy he/him]

Forgery and Aon Dor. I (as a self-taught programmer) am the sort of person who's willing and able to sit down and memorize rules and regulations the magic systems have, and once you've learned those the systems are incredibly versatile. Aon Dor can accomplish nearly anything another magic system can, and most of what it can't is covered by forgery. I also wouldn't consider myself especially broken, which is a requirement for most magic systems. It'd suck to get powers but need to be traumatized to use them.

ETA: Not sure this should be in the 'Cosmere Theories' section, might want to move it

Assuming a ready/steady supply of whatever Investiture is needed for my abilities (stormlight, metals etc.) then I would probably choose:

1| Soulcasting - I would be able to create whatever I need; food, money, etc.

2| Gravitation surge - FLYING!

 

 

Other options I strongly lean towards:

 

Seer Misting (Allomantic atium) - Atium would allow me to survive nearly any situation (except a fight with Vin!) 

 

Allomantic steel + Allomantic iron - FLYING!

Awakening - Depending on the number of breaths I started with this might be one of my two choices

Feruchemical steel + Allomantic steel - Compounding steel is almost like FLYING!

Allomantic zinc + Feruchemical zinc - Compounding mental speed while also being an emotional Allomancer would open up a lot of options. Not to mention that I would be so good at video games while compounding Feruchemical zinc!

Allomantic atium + Feruchemical atium - Functional immortality!


Ok, ok, I will stop there. There are just so many good combos! 



 

 

[Blightsong he/him]

Feruchemical electrum and zinc. Increased intelligence and determination just seem the most apt for today's society. It also helps that they aren't obvious to the naked eye and could be kept secret well.

[BrightVoid he/him]

Awakening and Aon Dor.  Awakening because it can be a very stealthy and intuitive use, with the limits being what you can imagine your creations doing.  Aon Dor for versitality.

[C. James-Mayer he/him]

2| Gravitation surge - FLYING!

 

 

Falling.. :-)

[Jondesu he/him]

Falling.. :-)

With style.

Feruchemical chromium (fortune) would be extremely useful, the only problem would be storing. Like you have bad luck for a week, win a lottery ticket, then start storing again and lose your ticket due to a technicality. Cadmium would be a useful side power, as you could create a speed bubble and store a lot, very fast. Unfortunately, bad luck would probably happen inside the bubble. I can only imagine what could go on in there if your storing luck.

Feruchemical Zinc + Soulcasting. Quite a potent combo, since I assume mental speed is really helpful in the cognitive realm

Nicrosil compounding- godlike investiture stores!

Forgery- make a bunch of stamps in advance so I can change between other magic systems. Or maybe just gain all of them

Nicrosil compounding is two powers. Nicrosil Allomancy and Nicrosil Feruchemy. By the OP you wouldn't be able to forge then. 

[Halinn]

On the subject of combos with Forgery, I imagine that Feruchemical Duralumin would be really good. Tap Connection to better understand the object you're forging. For forging yourself, maybe Feruchemical Aluminium would be better, but we haven't really seen many examples of Identity in the books so who knows

Maybe allomantic atium to see if the soulstamp works without having to actually test it and waste time? lol

[A Windspren he/him]

Gravitation Surge + Progression Surge

Falling with style, pulling objects towards you with Reverse Lashings, and being the worlds best doctor. You would also get unlimited healing from both passive Stormlight abilities, along with Pewter-level strength (and probably more than that), and Progression would allow you to grow food whenever you wanted to, as well as winning every gardening competition with 16 ton pumpkins or something

 

Other choices

Transportation Surge + Copper Feruchemy

Travel all around the universe and store all of your information in a coppermind

 

Gravitation Surge + Iron Feruchemy

Advanced flight skills (I suppose you could basically replicate iron Feruchemy with just the Gravitation Surge, though changing gravity and changing mass are different)

 

Transformation Surge + Awakening

Soulcast grass figurines into titanium, and Awaken them for your own personal army.

[asterion137 he/him]

gravitation surge/feruchemical iron

synergizes well because u can use less stormlight to fly, as well as increasing your weight to deal more damage with dropping onto people type attacks and healing yourself afterward with stormlight

 

feruchemical steel/allomantic steel

fairly obvious. superspeed is one of the most overpowered combat abilities, coupled with flying and a projectile attack is almost unbeatable.

Feruchemical iron gives you also resistance to damages while tapping (Kalladin could have broken the shardplate withought breaking legs, and with beter penetration), you can cheat on speed because of conservation of momentum (break sound barier), and fully storing iron is like parachoute.

Personaly I think that Forgery (mainly soul) and f-Aluminum would be best for me. There are many things I wish I could do, and mabye I could, if I've cacrificed my live to it, and I belive, lack of identity could make essence marks a lot more effective and capable.

About coolest powers: chromium compounding. I realy wish I had it.

 

Butt absolute best is Alcatraz'es talent + f Nicrosil = breaking anything only when you want.

But it's not fully cosmere.

[Lazarus52980]

IIRC, there was a semi-recent WoB that maybe Alomantic Gold would be best to be paired with forgery on yourself.  It makes sense to me since you could have a VERY keen understanding of what an alternate self could be and would be easy to relate/forge for that person.
