Ok so first of all not even Vin or Elend ever burned metal outside their body (to my knowledge) and they were one of the best trained mistborn/allomancer who probably ever lived, and someone who was a first gen mistborn who would have allomancy that would be, at base, much more powerful than that of any other allomancer/mitsing/mistborn. It may be possible but i highly doubt that there is anyone alive in era 2 mistborn who can. (after reading the post currently above this i see pre-Kelsier Vin brought up as potentially burning things outside of her stomach prior and I dont think that was the case as most water has trace minerals and it also states in book that much of the utensils and cups used to eat were made of either copper or pewter but im not sure which and i dont have the book on hand. So it is much more likely that she was burning those traces when they reached her stomach.)

Second of all, you mention that Ranette is trying to develop ways to kill mistings easier while being a misting herself. May I remind you that many of the opponents faced in the first series were mistings and sometimes (but more rarely) were even full fledged mistborn! If they had a weapon that would allow them to reach their goal of defeating their opponent, even if that meant there was a weapon that would make them easier to kill in turn, they would probably want that weapon. Also, this is a rather poorly though out point as many of the criminals we see Wax and Wayne track are mistings or twinborn, so it would be almost necessary to have weapons that can make taking out a potentially hostile misting out. 

Ok so I do realize that it has been around two years since i posted this thread but i have since been through an AP Psychology course and have learned that while the DSM-5 classifies Psychopathy and Sociopathy as anti-social personality disorders, they do have different manifestations as many separate disorders that fall under the same category tend to.

They are namedropped by Ranette and i assume she is Ranette's girlfriend but does anyone share that or have a different idea?

I recently updated Steris's page on coppermind with new information from shadows of self and the page does not have a spoiler tag for the new book yet. I would do it myself but i have no idea how could someone please add that?

when you see a paperback copy of WOR in the bookstore and think about how things had been changed and you think "I NEED IT" and beg until you get it

Your icon is absolutely gorgeous

i read them this way:

Mistborn 1,2,3

Elantris

Stormlight 1

Warbreaker

Stormlight 2

Hi fellow lighteyes! XD 

someone tell me how to change the title please, just realized I used the wrong your/you're (it is your and should be you're) 

My name is Grace and I would rather just about anything but it. If I had to choose, it would be what my mom wanted me named, which was Blair. But, I probably wouldn't change it because Grace Justice is a pretty cool name all together.

Hm. Lies, all of you. Only Kobold is telling the truth. I was apparently under the mistaken impression that LarkoftheRiver == boy... sorry. Even so, she is lying. Kobold, I believe you. The funny thing is that I know what names DON'T fit my perceptions of you all, but I don't know which names DO. Names are fascinating, are they not?

My name, which I share with an incredibly high amount of sports players from the EU, a professional goalkeeper, a player of the uillean pipes, a film critic, and several actors, is

Calum

In the year I was born, approximately 47 other people in the U.S. were given this name.

It means "dove," as in the bird. My parents named me this based on a character from one of James Herriott's (a British veterinarian) books called Calum Buchanan. The name is has a much higher popularity in Scotland, where it is also written as Callum. The traditional pronunciation of "Calum" is "Kahl-um," the beggining of which is pronounced the same way as Cal, if that wasn't clear. My parents decided to pronounce it "Kay-lum." I was cursed at birth with this decision. Ah well. I used to correct people's pronunciation all the time. Now I just take it like a man. I have never met another person with my name.

I would prefer to be named Calvin, but I doubt that I will change my name.

gjustice, great thread, btw. I don't want to steal your idea, so will you start another thread or add to the OP a question that asks what people would rather be named, if indeed they do have a rather?

go ahead do a what would you prefer your name to be thread. You would definately see me posting there

I am just wondering what people's names are. Mine is Grace btw. (like the g in my username)

when you have 17th shard open in two tabs, one on forums and one on chat

when all you want to talk about with your friend who has read all three mistborn is cosmere

when you are upset that that same friend is having issues making an account for this site

what does this say? 

I'm not on tumblr at all, but I believe there is a Cosmere fandom, tagged as CFIBF or something like that. I know FeatherWriter is part of it. Hope that's helpful :/

its cfsbf (cosmere fandom still best fandom) and ive followed feather since i joined

Yeah, I'm there as LarkoftheRiver. Uhh.. strong language warning on my blog+some nsfw stuff but I mostly tag the nsfw.

me finding your post is what prompted this (the mistcloak one) it was awesome 

I am a sharder who is also on tumblr and I want to know if there are any others and we can like be mutuals or something.

My username is the same as it is here, gjustice99 (my blog is legit called Mostly Cosmere).

Also, if you do follow me, I may not see it, so just send an ask or something.

And post usernames here so we can follow each other.

My fanart I try to make is facepalm worthy.

Also the fact that I can't pronounce any names used in the book.

what are you talking about? Your art is awesome! And to the second point, I was saying something about Elend to my brother and he didnt know who I was talking about for about 5 minutes...

Im in high school! (currently 10th grade)

oh sorry

could you pm me an email address to give him please?

I have converted someone and he has tried to make an account and has been unable to. I'm not entirely sure what's wrong but I even walked him through it and it didn't work.

I did too

i knew this thread was coming...

So, although it is generally agreed upon that there are 16 metals (iron, steel, tin, pewter, copper, bronze, brass, zinc, cadmium, bendalloy, chromium, nicrosil, gold, electrum, aluminum, and duralumin) there are actually 18 total if you count the God metals (atium and lerasium). I am currently reading through the Mistborn annotations and noticed that, originally, there was no emotional allomancy. Could this be why there are 18 metals? The original 16 then brass and zinc?
