STAG Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) If Miles Dagouter’s life had gone a little differently, he could’ve ended up working in a gold mine. A place where, in exchange for supplying food, pay, and the occasional metalmind, he would have large chunks of himself ripped off, cooked, and eaten by other miners. Is this possible? For a relatively small amount of gold you could have a near infinite amount of food ( if you are willing to resort to cannibalism). A gold compounder would be invaluable in barbaric war campaigns or mine cave-ins. Not that I’ve ever thought about being a cannibal… Edited August 9, 2021 by STAG Addition 2
Frustration Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 Why would you Why? Why would you put that image in my head? Also I think that's a bit on the expencive side for food. and WHY!! 2

How much gold would it take to regrow a couple juicy things? Especially valuable in scenarios where actual food is scarce. Once again, I’m not actually interested in cannibalism. Just a scientific curiosity I swear.
Knight of Iron she/they Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 You'd need a lot of stored health to recover from such wounds... and it wouldn't be very economically feasible. And this, then, is hypothetically possible for just about any healing magic system. For example, (Words of Radiance) Spoiler If one had sufficient light, and could eat the arm of a Lopen... 2

STAG Posted August 9, 2021 Author Posted August 9, 2021 How much gold would it take a compounder? It can’t be a lot would it?

Crucible of Shards he/him Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 As someone who is related to the Donner party, I approve of this method of provision, but only when all other food sources have been exhausted and you have no reasonable hope of a speedy rescue.
Flaming Coinshot he/him Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! What have I discovered? Now, because Stormlight and Feruchemecy heal you, STAG's idea might actually work. As knight said, makes good chouta, gancho. On the other hand, if Elantrians can continuously use the Dor to heal themselves...A: You will never, ever be able to take Elantris. B: Y'all kayana, sules.
STAG Posted August 9, 2021 Author Posted August 9, 2021 So what your saying is, dalinar’s perpendicularity is an endless food source?? Pro strats Dalinar should have come to the siege of kholinar
Flaming Coinshot he/him Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 Yeah. Actually, it would be most effective if you used Dalinar to constantly recharge stormlight for the Radiants and use his Perpendicularity to summon Elantrians and Gold compounders so that the actual army would never run out of food. Without resorting to cannabilism, they could also use soulcasters and the Dor to generate food.
Truthwatcher Artifabrian he/him Posted August 10, 2021 Posted August 10, 2021 Using progression to grow food is a much better way of using Stormlight for food. Or soulcasting food. Or healing animals. So many options that make it easier to sleep at night. Maybe you could spike animals to have gold compounding? Train them to use it? I like that idea a lot more than using people.

Oh my storms, you’re right! I know there are better ways of getting food, it’s just an interesting topic to think about, at night, when you’re alone, and it’s dark.
