shadowwisp Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Say you are a double Steel Twinborn. If you were to store Speed into Steel, you would be creating a new "Allomantic metal" right? So if you were to burn enough of that charged steel, would you become a savant? It's been a while, but I believe Miles lost the ability to feel pain. Was this ever explained? If not, that seems very much like a savant ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaymyth she/her Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 I consider this to be highly probable. We don't have a WoB that states it outright, but it's a reasonable extrapolation of what we know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oversleep Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Is there a functional difference between steel savant and speed savant? I mean, savantism is widening the cracks in the soul in the region coresponding to the metal you burn which allow to flow Investiture in.So when the power flows in because you're burning steel, there wouldn't be any difference to your soul up until the moment when Investiture gets through Feruchemical filter, which results in huge burst of Feruchemical speed. I believe there was a WoB that it's much harder to become Feruchemical savant because Feruchemy is about internal power flow, so there is no damage to your spiritweb . It's because Allomancy has upper power limit while Feruchemy hasn't - in Allomancy, if you push the limit long enough, it moves further - you become what we call a savant. But in Feruchemy you can draw absolutely insane amounts of power at ease (though some of the power is lost in overtapping, because you're drawing more power than it's natural - maybe if you overtap long and hard enough, you can minimize the amount of power lost). Maybe that's what Feruchemy savantism is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natc Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Well there should be a difference. Tin savantism results in the allomancer being physically dysfunctional in all aspects affected by tin. The side effects of the damage appear to be metal-specific. While both forms of tin do deal with senses in some fashion, both forms of steel are completely different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually, if you get hurt enough, your body numbs to pain, especially if you had high pain tolerance in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yata he/him Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) Well there should be a difference.

While both forms of tin do deal with senses in some fashion, both forms of steel are completely different. But maybe the Feruchemical charge is more "compatible" (from its origin as Human's Investiture) with the user and will no change your anatomy. Something like be exposed to a foreign effect VS your own biological (or Cognitive/Spiritual) function. Edited May 11, 2016 by Yata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saikyk Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I think it might be possible, but it makes me wonder: If a feruchemist were to fill, say his Ironmind, constantly and unconsciously, at a constant rate, will his body adapt to the lesser weight, and if so, does that count as a Feruchemical Savant?

That takes time to do, and isn't nearly a large enough change to be counted as as Savanthood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I think they said it was "Like creating a new metal". Don't mind me. Just reread it and noticed. Pointing it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronze Savantism just expands your Seeking range, and Bronze Savants usually don't even notice. So it doesn't have to be dramatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
