18th Shard he/him Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Can you get massive amounts of a feruchemical power by swallowing a metalmind, beginning to burn it, then burning duralumin? Hmmm, compounding without compounding... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurkistan he/him Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I don't think it'd matter much in the end. You'd probably get more of the Feruchemical power at the same time than usual (though that's what surging it from metalminds is for...), but the duralumin wouldn't add any power to the process. Source: Shardlet: When burning duralumin to enhance another metal’s burn, does a mistborn get only the sum total of the power of the other metal in a single burst or does he get more than just the sum? Brandon: I would have to make sure and look, but my original intention was the sum. Q: Ok, because the thing I was wondering about is Elend with the duralumin atium burn because it seemed more than just the sum of a bead of atium. A: Right, but the thing you have to keep in mind is the thing I’m kind of looking at having it all happen in a moment. So let’s say you have enough steel to burn for an hour. If you reduce a plane to a point it’s infinite, does that make sense. And so it’s very hard to say is it the sum when you are going from a defined amount into a point, I mean a point is infinitely small. Does that make sense? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidus Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 As Kurk said you'd just get more all at once, Compounders usually need to store the excess anyway since they don't need that much all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Joe in the Bush Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Could an Allomancer burning Nicrosil make a Feruchemist Store or tap His Reserves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
