The fact that feruchemical identity can be stored at all is not disrupted. You are literally pumping your innate investiture into it at this point, it works fine. You can spike with it, it works. If not all the time, sometimes investiture manipulation works next to aluminum.

The idea of the sky being devoid of Calamity is apparently an alien concept to the cast. Plus, it is definitely not the original orbit, as it nosedived into Earth immediately without Calamity. Even Prof figured the orbit seemed off.

This time it's turtles all the way . . . up?

Because using someone with legitimate ability and achievements as your PR figure is probably a less cringeworthy plan than using the girl that went viral over a staged romantic drama and mourning for one single person in a tournament where all but one person is supposed to die, I guess. She kinda wasn't even doing it on purpose either.

Depending on your tastes (spicy or aluminum) your mileage may vary. Percussion instruments are like a a good bed.

You lose a limb, and the one person closest to you loses their body. Best figure out how to turn them into a cognitive shadow or bind them to the physical again, you have seconds before they fade. I wish for nicrosil feruchemy.

I would imagine the internal metal issue is because humans are invested. Investiture in general interferes with magical influence at high concentration. Meanwhile mundane aluminum straight out of the ground is immune to physical external allomancy and disrupts healing in the vicinity. It can be created by magic, however, and even has allomantic, feruchemical, and hemalurgic effects. Aluminum seems less the type of thing that resists magic and more that it selectively makes certain aspects of magic fail in its presence.

He did built his hut on top of the door and all. I'm sure he cares a little. Of course going in from the cognitive is the best way in. Pretty much the only way that isn't suicide. But the lerasium is not in the center of the room, you will have to materialize to reach it.

Ooh, Era 3, that brings up a good point. If slang exists for it then he intends to make it somewhat prevalent, so use of metallic arts will be more common going forward, potentially. Suddenly nicrobursts and duralumin gnats get a massive buff in usefulness. Wasn't there a nicroburst protagonist planned at one point?

The lerasium is in the physical, however, and I'm sure there's always a risk of TLR picking him up with one of his numerous ways to detect people. And he's got bottomless speed stores.

Why on earth would anyone burn their hidden permanent metalminds? Miles is many things, but an idiot he is not.

Or, without TLR he could hop in for the lerasium and not have difficulty on the way out, perhaps?

Luck + dartboard + map is always the funniest practical theory.

You do see Asian organized crime depicted as pretty honorable sorts. Even criminals can have standards.

Yes, a Skybreaker lying in court will likely lose their powers immediately, I'd reckon. It's honorable in it's own way, and they swore to it. Nalan seems to be the same, really, by personal obligation, but I feel he's abandoned the "spirit" of the law completely. For all we know, Skybreakers just have the ability to detect feelings of guilt. I'm pretty sure there's an aon that could.

Metal weapons would technically absorb some of the force of their own impacts due to malleability yes? Not a metals expert. Shardblades are seemingly indestructible, so I would assume they are rigid.

Unless you're low on the stuff

Yeah, might as well let him out while a good vessel candidate (Vin) as still alive. The plan had been for Preservation to die, while keeping the atium in cycle using atium mistings to prevent reclaiming, so that another potential vessel can take the power and sacrifice themselves in a big kamikaze. Then the Hero of Ages cleans up the aftermath. Keeping Ruin sealed is counterproductive once the vessel is ready. Being older than the Shattering Hoid could've known or had figured it out to be the best course of action.

Is iron in food even pure enough to burn without side effects?

Stealing magic would probably always be the most efficient use for it, I guess. But really, that might be a claim to fane, but hemalurgy deals with the rest of the soul as well, and most of a soul is presumably mundane stuff. It basically is the system's definition; splicing of spiritual genes. Moving powers around is a very specialized application of it, but the other extreme is there as well and can achieve what the former can't. Really, it's more of the same thing. TenSoon with OreSeur's spikes was stronger than the bodies he made should have been. Koloss can metabolize dirt. Even non-magic spikes can seemingly defy physics. And yeah, what Pathfinder said.

I'm sure the copper will still mask your allomancy unless an even stronger Seeker was involved, so there's that . . . ? Poor emotions though.

Allomancy is end positive because the user's innate investiture is preserved, fully unchanged for the most part (the magic being due to external "boosting"). Feruchemy splits up parts of it away to be manipulated and stored, so it's still all there, but broken up and changed. Hemalurgy . . . tears it to pieces and suffers from decay issues.

I'm surprised you had to wiki it first instead of noticing Hoid immediately. Warbreaker first, then one character quirk and one scene in Words of Radiance suddenly makes so much sense.

Those minor details, like how humans gain access and in what form, yes. But the fundamental of burn metal > power flows from shard based on metal burned > magic happens? I doubt Preservation could do much to it.

I'm sure he finds surgebinders first, then figures out through investigation whether there is any crime on record by that surgebinder he can somehow spin into a death sentence executable on-site. Law is just a formality, really. What a terrible Skybreaker patron.
