Chid he/him Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Because of atium and lerasium alloys, there should be more than 30 other storable attributes that we don't know about yet. What could some of these be? Here are a couple of my ideas. Size: spend time being a little person, then tap it and temporarily be gigantic (yes, Ant Man is my favorite superhero. Why do you ask?) Light: spend time not reflecting any light, then later you can be a human flashlight Emotions: store up some happy, then tap it on a bad day Attractiveness: hahahahaha Awkwardness: ok maybe this one isn't very likely, but I can dream.
Swimmingly he/him Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 The "store up some happy" sounds a lot like Electrum.
Chid he/him Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 Yeah. I was thinking more like a coppermind, except for emotions instead of memories. So you could store how you were feeling at a moment, then tap that feeling some other time.
Glaring at the Survivor he/him Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 If you didnt reflect light, you'd be like totally black. And then later be totally white. That or you'd be invisible.
Moogle Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Urge to blink (while storing, blink really fast, while tapping, no need to blink). Heartrate (while storing, your heart rate drops) Hair growth (tap to grow your hair! Store constantly to not have to shave!) Dexterity (become clumsy when storing) Light sensitivity (see in the dark, goes well with tinmind) Life sense (while tapping, feel other people around you; may be covered by Connection already) Danger sense/future sight (Hoid may be using this?) Connection to the Cognitive (phase through objects/go to Cognitive realm when tapping, become dumb like a mistwraith when storing) Inertia (you move like molasses when storing, become the Juggernaut when tapping) Various emotions to go with determination Various Surges (store/tap friction?) These all seem like a stretch, but then I feel that all the Alloy of Law ones were a stretch, too. Storing breath? Yeeeeeeah.
Chid he/him Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 Hardness: store to be bouncy, tap to be invulnerable

Yeeeeeeah.</p> Storing breath is awesome. You know why? Space. That's why. Why else? Diving. That's why else. You know why else? Poisonous gases, inhaled diseases, and hour-long saxophone solos sans breath. 4
Moogle Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 hour-long saxophone solos sans breath. You've convinced me! I retract all criticisms of breath as a Feruchemical attribute.
Swimmingly he/him Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 You've convinced me! I retract all criticisms of breath as a Feruchemical attribute.Good fellow. I knew you'd see the light of feruchemical cadmium someday. Seriously though, a cadmiummind could give a feruchemist far more time per weight in space than an airtank. An Allomantic iron Feruchemical cadmium twinborn, for example, would be the perfect astronaut, though a station side Lurcher and a cadmium compounder would work nearly as well.
DocHoliday he/him Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 If you didnt reflect light, you'd be like totally black. And then later be totally white. That or you'd be invisible. We see by light reflecting off an object into our eye ball. Storing light reflection works make you invisible.
Kadrok she/her Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I've suggested sex-appeal in the past, but otherwise... Creativity. Intuition (perhaps a contender for how Hoid knows where to be?) I was going to suggest melanin, but that creates so much weirdness.
