    That confusion was the whole reason my post cut off when it did. I always thought of it as:

    This combo really should be on your list @Oversleep. It has great benefits on both ends of the spectrum. The above being the positive end, but the more nefarious can wreak havoc with these. I give to you: The ultimate Spy Brass/Zinc to dampen/enflame things like worry/confidence (Social) or curiosity/trust (Spy) Connection from F-Duralumin is always useful: Tap to connect with people and not stand out, Store greatly to not really register to people Maybe add F-Copper to remember names, faces, locations, etc.. and A-Copper to hide the usage of magic. (Useful for Social abilities too: don't want to forget someone's name/get noticed while soothing now would you?) Oh yeah, A-Copper blocks emotional allomancy. So you don't get manipulated by the social elite or the spy-hunters. Win-Win situation

    @Spoolofwhool You'd think that. I think this has to do with the fact that you don't actually store all of an attribute (most of them) so storing time is longer than using time. Say the limit on speed is 75% and you store for 10 minutes. You can go to 175% for 10 minutes, but you would lose time for anything faster. Oh great, Storing/Tapping F-Anything is literally like doing proportions. Brandon why have you done this to us...
  4. The One Who Connects
    I feel like Ishar's role in founding the KR is relevant, but Nalan seems more the one to enforce the rules on people...
  5. The One Who Connects
    Brandon has RAFO'd that (twice i think) It's what's causing all the speculation about "Glys"
  6. The One Who Connects
    Because Feruchemical "Compounding" gives diminishing returns if you try to use more of stored power in a shorter time-frame. *My assumption on his statement, possibly not what he meant.*
  7. The One Who Connects
    Well, there's another book I need to read again
  8. The One Who Connects
    Although F-Atium straight up affects age, it is still probably important to note that once he stopped using the power, his body rapidly reverted to where it should have been at, so perhaps Spool is right on this one
  9. The One Who Connects
    I wonder if the other shards have some effect on Hemalurgic constructs.. The wiki article doesn't cite this passage, so I don't actually know where it originated but the potential is there.
  10. The One Who Connects
    Well, we know 2 ways to ascend as preservation Vin: take in all of the mists (preservation's power in gas form) WoB: use enough Lerasium to become a savant (preservation's power in solid form) I don't know for sure, because we cannot accurately compare shard power in different forms yet. But I wouldn't be surprised if Hoid has enough power split between the 16's systems to surpass the Sliver status, just not of any specific Shard like TLR did with the Well
  11. The One Who Connects
    I thought his knowing when/where to go was with Feruchemy. But So I don't know. Either way, I like your idea
  12. The One Who Connects
    My apologies for misreading. I read your Szeth statement and thought you were using it for a different purpose Edit: for the topic, do we know if the ardents using normal soulcasters see the CR or if that's just Jasnah/Shallan?
  13. The One Who Connects
    Szeth's bond was also a special case, so it may be in relevance to the spren specifically
  14. The One Who Connects
    @Rasarr I completely forgot about the spren. Wait, Urithiru had Elevators? Wisdom and Care kinda fit with bonding spren in general, so I could see Battar as the primary Artifabrian. Oh great, now I'm speculating on Navani and the KR now... what have you done We thought of conscription/sharecropping for Chana, which is still with the civilian population like you suggest. I like it I'm not actually sure if they grow anything that would need scythes, but my general agriculture knowledge is sorely lacking.
  15. The One Who Connects
    @8giraffe8 The attributes might not be relevant, but since they did seem to fit I added them anyway. @hwiles I agree about teaching things that would help them in the war, which is why I questioned "herald of beauty" We all agree on Nalan and discipline/justice in some form, so maybe that's right Chana: Obedient makes conscription kinda work, I'm curious about the sharecropping now Paliah: General Education vs Logistics.. I guess she could teach generally useful stuff and scholarly stuff Shalash: She is art-related, maybe doing abstract things helps with abstract thinking? Battar: We all sound confused, but philosophy could be kinda useful. (Is in-world Way of Kings philosophy?) Ishar: Religion in some context seems to fit, I like the "why" they are fighting Voidbringers. Herald of Luck though.. Thanks for joining the discussion
  16. The One Who Connects
    This made sense. I see where i misunderstood now
  17. The One Who Connects
    Only issue is are the bones affected by the F-Pewter's physical size increase It could work either way. You could even do update posts at certain intervals, since it keeps the chronological order you seem to enjoy
  18. The One Who Connects
    Male characters can have romance emotions too Some of Vin's chapters might be a bit draining to you, but Sanderson does a good job with his mix of viewpoints that stuff like that isn't really an issue (my opinion at least) Unless I'm mistaken, Vin is the only female pov in the first trilogy, so you don't have to worry about excessive romance
  19. The One Who Connects
    Glad to see you enjoyed the books. I see where you're coming from on most of the points too Personally, I think Sebarial is manipulating Shallan in some way, but I cannot figure what his game would be. The 2 Mistborn series out currently are a good read, but Sanderson doesn't really do "male lead" so much as 2-3 primary characters, even in the shorter books.

    The time of the Return, the Desolation, is near at hand. We must prepare. You will have forgotten much, following the destruction of the times past. -Taln You all know the story. A desolation approaches, and the Heralds appear to prepare mankind for surviving it. I'm curious as to what they actually taught that helped to keep man alive before the KR were founded. They saw enough value to keep teaching it, and humanity managed to survive each time (somewhat) Name Title Teaching Attributes Order Jezrien Herald of Kings Leadership Protecting/Leading Windrunners Nalan Herald of Justice ??^ Just/Confident Skybreakers Chana ?? ?? Brave/Obedient Dustbringers Vedel Herald of Healing Train Surgeons Loving/Healing Edgedancers Paliah ?? ?? Learned/Giving Truthwatchers Shalash Herald of Beauty ?? Creativity/Honesty Lightweavers Battar ?? ?? Wisdom/Care Elsecallers Kalak ?? How to cast bronze* Resolute/builder Willshapers Talenel Herald of War Train Soldiers Dependable/Resourceful Stonewards Ishar Herald of Luck ??** Pious/Guiding Bondsmiths There are a fair number of blank spaces. The Heraldic Titles appear to fit with what they teach, but maybe not always. I also placed each Herald's respective attributes and KR Order for completeness, in case they can help make connections. Notes: ^ Nalan takes "extreme" care to adhere to the law, perhaps he trains people in enforcing law/discipline? * Taln wishes he had the time to teach them steel, so I assume Kalak knows of many materials ** Taln mentions that Ishar spoke of a way to keep information from being lost between Desolations Sources: Herald Chart Circumflex ^ Asterisks * Edits: First, I hereby apologize to phone users for the big table, I wanted to appear organized. Second, I finally made my first official topic! Third, any/all opinions or criticism are welcome.

    As far as I was aware, they mainly focused on the storms and not the seasons. But I can't really argue with your post
  22. The One Who Connects
    @Landis963 Are we going back to The Flash and Sherlock Holmes again?
  23. The One Who Connects
    Read Voidus's comments on this one Like he said, not sure if that line was for F-Pewter but.. Edit: Read Spool's WoB again (that's twice today )
  24. The One Who Connects
    I'm not their physical body is capable of picking it up at the moment, although... Brandon did say it would try to eat the mists
  25. The One Who Connects
    You should read some of the threads linked in that link i showed you. I'm sure at least one of them has thought of something similar, and they understand the physics of the stuff better than I do
