PorridgeBrick he/him Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 I suspect that that was simplified a bit to balance the game. Everything else we see with Feruchemy - Feruchemical tin and Feruchemical copper, for example, and Feruchemical bendalloy to a lesser degree - requires the storage of specific attributes. Feruchemical nicrosil is likely the same. Anyone know if those metals are simplified at all in the MAG?
Pathfinder Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 This and the linked post about the extent of Marsh's powers are very educational regarding allomancy/feruchemy/hemalurgy, but I will reserve my judgement/vote till we see what a windrunner with all oaths taken, sprenblade and shardplate at full knight radiant level is capable of.
gembargon1683 Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 well here's the thing, even assuming that lashings work directly on an inquisitor, and working under the assumption that flared pewter is about as effective as stormlight in strengthening the body, steel and iron both use magnetism, where lashings and reverse lashings (the stormlight equivalent of steel pushes and iron pulls) work off of gravity. The force of Gravity on an object is = G x m1 x m2 / r^2 the force of magnetism on an object is = Ke x q1 x q2 / r^2 where G = 6.67 x10^-11 N m^2 /Kg^2 and Ke = 9.0x10^9 N m^2 / C^2 So an inquisitor can push and pull with about 20 times the force of a windrunner's lashing. This makes sense, since magnetism is far, FAR stronger than gravity. The inquisitor would massively outspeed a windrunner, and over 20 lashings to the ground would be required to counter a single steel push

Second, steel and iron can't function off magnetism, as they push with equal force on all sources of metal (save aluminum) regardless of their magnetic qualities. The only variables for push strength (as far as I know) are allomantic strength, burn/flare, and anchor size. 2
