Allomancy in Shardplate

[Zmaray he/him]

Would a Mistborn wearing Shardplate be able to do allomancy, or would its investiture bubble interfere with its effects?

I haven't seen the WoB about the investiture bubble so I can't be too sure, but I think a case could be made that if it does influence the wearer using allomancy, it would depend on the metal being used.

For example, I think it is plausible that the plate would  interfere with external metals but not internal ones.

It could also be easier to use allomancy if it is your own suit, as opposed to a "dead" set of plate depending on which origin theory of plate you subscribe to.

I'm horrible at finding WoB, but I know he was asked about this and said it would work. There was a discussion about this in another thread about a month ago.

The main problem here is that while you can push and pull while in plate, the plate is not a part of you. So with the weight of Shardplate, flight goes out the window. You push down, and get slammed up into the plate. It would probably work as a pretty good anchor for pushing things away from you though.

Is this the one you're thinking of?

@Weltall yes, thank you
