I wonder if there's some kind of intent involved with what Taravangian was capable of doing in terms of the memories. It'd be pretty hard to argue that e.g. removing all of Hoid's memories wouldn't harm him, but maybe just removing the previous conversation and rerunning it was a small enough change (and for some motivation that we don't know about) that Taravangian could convince himself it wouldn't harm Hoid?

My impression from the book was that storing in nicrosil works like storing strength or whatever - you store your ability to use a particular metal for a particular length of time. For example Wax presumably hasn't permanently turned himself fullborn by tapping the bands themselves. The impression I got was that you stopped being able to use the metals when you stopped tapping. So you shouldn't need nicrosil compounding. Similarly for brass you could just have the firesouls providing the stores to be underground where it's warm, storing so that other people can go outside. Not to say they definitely don't have compounders but I don't think they're required.

I'm in awe. I've also read about 600 pages of mistborn books today, so I'm slightly exhausted. Going to take me a few days (weeks?) to comprehend all the stuff Brandon has thrown at us.

I assume the language of the southerns. EDIT: Though that would presumably be related to the ancient languages, so maybe not...

Kelsier pulls on atium in the pits of hathsin to shatter the crystals (or at least, he thinks he does).

We also have this from the 2014 State of the Sanderson: Presumably this means something important in the Era 3 trilogy will rely upon us knowing what's been happening on Sel.

I will attempt to attend this. (This has pushing me into finally registering an account on this website) Does anyone happen to be coming via Paddington?

Hi Been lurking a long time and reading theories and thought that I'd finally get around to registering. I've read (or listened to) every published Sanderson book (I think?) and have just finished rereading Mistborn and started on Alloy of Law. I am also bad at writing posts on forums introducing myself, so I'll stop there.
