KandraAllomancer he/him Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 This is something that occurred to me completely randomly yesterday: Ba-Ado-Mishram's powers during the False Desolation are, in many ways, analogous to the effects of duralumin in the Metallic Arts. Somehow I didn't make the connection (pun unintended) before, but the parallels are quite interesting: Allomantic duralumin could be used to create superpowered bursts of Surgebinding: Quote Paladin Brewer If a person had the power of Mistborn and other powers like Surges, could he use duralumin to power the Surges? Brandon Sanderson This is possible. Skyward Houston signing (Nov. 19, 2018) Duralumin Compounding allows for accumulating huge amounts of Connection, which could be used to control Hemalurgic constructs even without emotional Allomancy: Quote Dopetruffles And finally, whether a duralumin compounder could break into a kandra? Brandon Sanderson Um... yes, possible, yeah. WorldCon 76 (Aug. 18, 2018) Hemalurgic Duralumin steals Connection and Identity, which happens to be exactly what was ripped from the Singers when BAM was imprisoned I'm fairly sure BAM wasn't suing duralumin and/or Scadrian magic, but the underlying mechanisms between these two might be very similar 7
