Feruchemical iron technically doesn't affect strength in general, it just somehow lets you move normally while heavier. Somehow. Handwavium. All feruchemy has that required secondary power to stop your own powers from killing you from the inside, but since feruchemy can only affect your own person it doesn't always help . . . Atium is a different issue entirely.

He also wiped out the feruchemy of said bloodline though. Which was kind of the basis for the racism in the first place. The First Generation were more a "we were basically BFFs, I can at least offer you this much" sort of thing, and most of the rest were descendants and not originally human, so calling them Terris by blood after a whole jump of species is a bit questionable. Feruchemical blood would be nonexistent. Judging by his reaction to Marsh's betrayal what he cared about was primarily feruchemists, and Terris only by extension. His master race lived on, but basically wasn't even that race anymore. He ought to be a bit miffed by that.

Of course Google won't provide you with a free copy! They actually sell it themselves, you know. Under Google Books. They're not going to undermine their own revenue intentionally! Buy it, it's cheap.

To add to what Yata said about nobles and skaa, I felt like I should give my two clips regarding the treatment of Terrismen in the Empire. 1)*Rambling alert*. You have been warned The Lord Ruler Rashek sees his own race, especially the feruchemist population it once had, as the dominant people of the world. Now that's just racist obviously, I can't condone that, but imagine realizing in that transcendent moment of godhood that your beloved people are the single largest threat to your survival, and therefore the survival of the world itself? That you had no choice but to turn those people into formless monsters, and essentially subjugating the rest into slaves? It must have been out of necessity that he did so; he sounded like the type who would want nothing more than for the Terris to dominate the world in all their glory. But he needed allies in his conquest, and all he had to offer to people was lerasium: allomancy. He cannot grant that leverage to the Terris. Out of obligation to the world he destroyed the very bloodline he held above all others with his own hands. And yet he insisted to the end to spare their lives as much as possible, even knowing (as Inquisitors with Bloodmaker spikes show) that feruchemy is actually still thriving. . To save the world he became the very monster he always hated, like the Khlenni he rather prejudicially generalized together (Alendi was a decent guy okay?). Can you honestly say, at this point, that Rashek was acting out of anything less than what he felt was right? Keeping the Terris people alive was actually biggest risk he ever allowed in his theocracy, I would say. Unexpectedly, what came of it was the Hero of Ages himself being born to the Terris as he always felt was their destiny, so we actually have to thank him for not being totally inhumane (though it came from racism for sure), because the world was saved for it. 2) A more general point written after that text wall above When I think about it again, everything from the caverns, to the atium in the Trust and the kandra that protected it? The Inquisitors, one of whom broke free long enough to himself free Vin from Ruin's influence and let her Ascend? The Hero of Ages, born to the Terrismen he irrationally protected all these years, who bore knowledge of the original world because he sought to preserve the knowledge that escaped TLR's touch? If you trace it back, Rashek was behind it all, intentionally or otherwise. He may have been an unforgivable tyrant, but in making himself the monster that he became he has done more for the world than any of its inhabitants would ever know. I can't forgive him, nobody can, but if he deserves our disdain and hatred he also deserves our gratitude.

I'm not saying he can't perceive, but that we don't actually know from that scene if perception is even affected. Brandon has at one point described it as enhancing the ability to make logical leaps, so I always took it as speeding up the rate you piece together logical conclusions step by step. If they can still properly perceive (likely a yes) they can analyze that information faster and arrive at a conclusion faster as well, but do their senses keep up with that? Or is anything faster than human dynamic vision still going to be essentially invisible? That feels to me more like steel territory.

At no point was Helaran ever stated to be a surgebinder, though . . . But to answer the question a knight literally dying is apparently a much safer experience for the spren. Relative to the oaths being broken anyway.

Because while that is certainly thinking faster, it's mostly a case of thinking to oneself being shown in that spoiler tagged scene you mentioned. At no point did that character actually react to something external or has made any note of even perceiving much else.

The phrase "like a genre all its own" is a simile, and would imply that anime, itself, is not a genre, so there was really no need to correct that. The way Avatar balances (no joke intended) the two styles should work if we tone down the humor slightly.

Hemalurgy doesn't steal the ability to burn and tap, it steals anything in a person. It relates to powers only insofar as the powers are part of a person's soul, and thus is part of "anything". Why do people keep forgetting that? The opposites were not supposed to be the powers themselves anyway, but the way investiture is obtained through them. Human nnate investiture is preserved in allomancy (by using an external source), divided up and stored away in feruchemy with no loss, and irreversibly lost in hemalurgy due to decay. Burned metal apparently doesn't disappear anyway (not that we know what happens to it or anything), and Scadrial supposedly has very high metal content.

IIRC a decent number of the shardworlds had names from Yolen to begin with before the shards even checked in.

Considering how you can interpret most things as destroying to preserve, I doubt he'd have as much trouble with his own planet if that worked. Personal opinion though.

Well the person implying such was a mistborn training another mistborn. He need not know or mention how it works for mistings.

He's twice as strong, yes, but to be aggressive defies his intents, yet to protect things also defies his intents. Harmony is the epitome of ludicrous side effects for useful powers . . .

. . . How would aluminum help with that? It only wipes metal from the one burning it, and nobody is stupid enough to give themselves aluminum allomancy over a different power. You're thinking Leechers surely?

Well, he had to stop sleeping eventually regardless in hindsight, since I don't think one can tap or store while unconscious?

Going to need a lot of iron though . . . Emptying it out is probably a lesser issue since you can always do it in space.

He needed allomancers to exist to create Inquisitors with, in the end, and to provide a crushing advantage against the rest of the world. He went too far, yes, but the reasoning is sound.

I'm talking about the propaganda here. The videos were cringeworthy at times. The rest of the revolution, I felt it did pretty well as I said. TLR was trying to save the world in the end, I'm sure he would've let the Inquisitors sort it out a bit less extremely if not for sudden assassination attempt + deus ex machina. Also, having an invincible demigod as their enemy is no less there fault as it is Panem's fault for having nobody better to use.

But Khriss is Taldainian . .

We literally have no idea how hemalurgy works off-world, let's not throw things around as fact here.

I basically have to have the mirror up in my face in a well-lit room to figure out where the outline of my pupil is, that's for sure. At a distance it's a bit tough. Pretty clearly brown if I get a good look though.

Having poorer material makes poorer results understandable, but the results are still worse. Personally I'm fine with the rest of the revolution, but the propaganda kinda involved a lot of coincidences.

I recall a WoB that some lighteyed bloodlines did occur from random mutations rather than anything supernatural. Dark colored eyes are basically normal where I am from, though it's mostly just the same color. I chalk the color variance up to Roshar genetics, but the degree of darkness in eye color where you have to look closely to tell just what color it is is not exactly that strange at all.
