Allomancers & Feruchemists

[Vogelsang he/him]

Would you rather be an Allomancer or a Feruchemist?

 

 

...Or a Hemalurgist because I know somebody will say that anyway.

[King Cole he/him]

A hemalurgist is both. Why would you want either when you can have both?

[Faceless Mist-Wraith he/him]

@King ColeBecause in order to have both you need to precisely stab large metal spikes through yourself? 

I personally would go with Feruchemy, just because of its utility, and because some of its more commonly used abilities would be pretty easy to store.

It ain't that bad, sure there are some voices, but i'm ok with that

[MacThorstenson he/him]

Keep in mind, there are multiple types of allomancers and feruchemers, but any hemalurgist can become a mistborn and a full feruchemist. The only possbible better scenario would be a feruchmist with a bead of learasium, because then you would have the voices. 

[Quickbronze he/him]

Of course if you spike yourself enough to get full mistborn/feruchemist abilities you'll be vulnerable to mind control from a shard and possibly Soothers/Rioters

[King Cole he/him]

Sure there is the ethics with killing people, but once you start hearing voices, you won't care as much

[Calderis he/him]

Full Feruchemist. 

Nothings preventing me from using hemalurgy by having those powers. 

[Yata he/him]

Full Feruchemist, the Feruchemy is my favorite magic System

[Unlicensed Hemalurgist he/him]

Hemalurgist. Nobody said I had to spike myself, just practice Hemalurgy.

[Ataraxian Wist she/her]

Being a Full Feruchemist would be pretty cool. Moderate temperatures all year, the ability to eat may too much of my favorite foods, then not need to eat when I'm in a hurry, and cadmium for playing difficult pieces on the harmonica.

Aside from those, tin can be filled when listening to lame music, discordance, and background noises, and tapped when there's something you care to hear... But honestly I would walk around filling Hearingminds all day.

[elinox she/her]

Fecuchemist for me as well. Mostly because I find the thought of swallowing metal shards a bit gross. And if left in your system too long, they make you sick besides. 

[Tazren he/him]

In our world, I'd easily take Feruchemy. It would be the easiest to use without anyone noticing (wear metal instead of consuming it), and it has a lot more everyday uses than Allomancy. Storing wakefulness, determination and energy would all be insanely useful. Not to mention health, senses, knowledge, etc. 

Hemalurgy is just too brutal and bothersome. Nevermind that you'd have to spike a lot of people (maybe you could find volunteers or use condemned rapists and murderers) - you couldn't exactly be discreet with it, walking around with dozens of spikes through your entire body. 

[Kari he/him]

Feruchemy all the way.
