xXਦਰਸ਼ਨXx she/her Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 So I was thinking what about storing size in feruchemy? Maybe F-malatium? You would become smaller and lighter when storing and larger and heavier when tapping. Just a theory of mine, I am open to suggestions! Thanks! -ਦਰਸ਼ਨ
Wander89 he/him Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Can you explain it a little more? We know that Sazed grow in size when tapping into his metal mind for strength when fighting. Do you mean becoming smaller for a few weeks to become bigger when tapped?
xXਦਰਸ਼ਨXx she/her Posted June 17, 2019 Author Posted June 17, 2019 (Replying to wander89) Yes exactly
Weltall Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) That's really just combining two existing powers, F-Iron (weight) and F-Pewter (physical strength, which affects your size via muscle mass). Other than that 'size' doesn't really make any sense as a feruchemical trait. Also Brandon actually does worry about the square cube law and had to design Roshar around making an environment where you could scale things up without breaking plausibility too much. You wouldn't have that on Scadrial. As for F-Malatium specifically, we know Sazed played around with it a bit but he didn't get far in figuring it out. Given how dramatic changing size would be, yeah, that doesn't track. Edited June 21, 2019 by Weltall 1
