Walin he/him Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Aluminum, and Duralumin, Gnats don't really have much power. They can burn an enhancement metal without any metal stores to decrease. However- since aluminum is so valuable, someone with a lot of it would be a target. So, if theives are coming in, the Gnisting would swallow the evidence and burn it-wasting much money, but--well, yeah, no good can come of drastically reducing funds of houses. However, you could perform Allomantic arson by breaking in somewhere and burning some aluminum jewelry or something. I dunno, I think a person trying to bring down someone rich with a lot of aluminum assets could get some serious stuff done, compared to a Coinshot or Tineye who could be better thieves in literally every other scenario.
King Cole he/him Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Well an aluminum savant could purge their bodies of impurities. Also, could an aluminum misting get rid of steel in their stomach if they burned it? Cause then they could commit “allomantic arson” with any metal 1

Aluminum doesn't target allomantic metals specifically. It targets metal and destroys it in the body. I don't think it matters if it's a burnable metal to the person it's in or not. I'll dig through some WoBs and see if there's any reason to think otherwise. 2
Kingsdaughter613 she/her Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 Aluminum gnats have Cosmere wide uses.
Yata he/him Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 First of all, yeah...Some powers could suck, it's not a videogame where the powers need to be balanced or something like that. Secondly, in theory a Alluminium Gnat with a tons of mental elasticity could destroy metal objects inserting them into his system (for example burning away from existence a knife who is stabbing you). It's hard and probably really timing dependant...but it will be in the scope of their powers. A Duralluminium Gnat is denied this chance instead 1
