Jaywalk he/him Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 Would Nightblood speed up the process of savantism for an Allomancer? They can only survive as long as they’re burning metal, and if they’re wielding Nightblood for an extended period of time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would have the same effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightblood's need for investiture increases the longer he's drawn, so he'd end up eating the Allomancer long before the Allomancer managed to become a savant. As Karger said, it'd be easier and safer to just flare your metal all day every day, like Spook did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if you are flaring something safe like tin (which is only mostly so) if you flare pewter, then you Die just like if you had Nightblood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 GoWibble he/him Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Being a savant at certain metals, ie. Pewter, is not necessarily safe. You could still die, not in the same way as if you held Nightblood, but dying is dying 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 FeruchemicalAbhorsen he/him Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Pewter is only "not safe" because you no longer feel any pain, and won't notice fatal wounds. Sounds a whole lot safer than holding NB for any length of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could still die, not in the same way as if you held Nightblood, but dying is dying There aren't any viable metals that are inherently unsafe to burn or flare. Overuse of A-Pewter is noted to be dangerous only because you might wear yourself out or keep taking injuries beyond the point where your body can naturally recover and then run out of pewter and drop dead. Simply sitting in a room and flaring pewter is completely safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
