Oversleep Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) In addition to previous WoBs: Spoiler Quote Nethseaar Could an Allomancer or Feruchemist Burn or Feruchemically Fill molten metal? Would that affect the Investiture? Brandon Sanderson Something to the effect that it would be very painful and damaging, but yes, one could Burn and Fill molten metal, and yes, it would affect the Investiture.source Quote Q: If a metalmind is melted down and changes shape, does it still retain its power? A: Yes, only by mixing it with other metals would the power be completely lost. Also if any pieces of the metalmind are lost, then some of the power will be lost (as it would be in the missing pieces).source And instance of Wayne dumping bendalloy (which has melting point 70 °C/158 °F) into a cup of tea and then throwing a speedbubble (the poisoned tea thing in AoL). We finally got a precise (and interesting) WoB about melted metalminds: Quote If you make it impure, you'll keep the investiture, but won't be able to get it out. If you make it back into the same thing, you'll be fine, and can access it normally. If you try to fill it, after changing the composition to make another viable metal, it will act a little like a computer hard drive with corrupted sectors. Some of it will work for the new investiture, but you won't be able to fill it nearly as full. (Depending on how full it was before you melted down.) This holds for basic uses of the metallurgic arts. Once you start playing with some of the more advanced parts of the magic, you can achieve different results, which are currently RAFO. source P.S. 'Molten metalminds' totally sounds like a Third Era rock band name. Edited March 13, 2017 by Oversleep 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demiandre Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Great info ! Does that holds true for Hemalurgy ? Spoiler I was thinking about Harmony's earrings. If they have been recast, they still have the Hemalurgic charge (because Harmony wouldn't be able to talk otherwise), but can it transmit the ability stolen ?

Lurcher pluking the strings with Iron pulling :-) (yes, I'm sidetracking here... sorry :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
