I mean, I'm sure wherever the pool pops up he could just move it. Rashek did it with the Well.

Sure he did. He wrote the Resolution into the First Contract specifically to deny Ruin of the Kandra. Removing the spikes wouldn't serve much of a purpose besides this. With the other two he didn't really have much to work with. Their loyalty is based on the Flaw, while the Kandra's loyalty to him is deeply ingrained in culture and religion.

I'd point out that, while not 50%, Wax has indeed been storing nonstop for years (aside from sleeping, when you can only store Wakefulness).

I got downvoted for pointing out that opinions do not require a source. Interesting. On Bloodsealing, there is a good chance that it is completely separate from forgery and people just don't know better, considering how drastically different they are. Your point itself is true though. I'd forgotten about that one.

I see . . . We need some Duralumin ferrings XD How bad is the friend's English exactly?

The heart does get used for stealing a lot, which causes misunderstandings a lot, but in actuality the heart simply has many points on it for stealing. Depending on where exactly you run them through you can get different stuff with the appropriate metal. Binding to another person also requires the correct spot as well. Otherwise you'll just stab yourself like an idiot. There's probably more than one way to do it, with different results too. Spiritual gene splicing is tricky business. I doubt normal stolen steel gives steelsight this sensitive, for one, and koloss spikes don't pair like kandra ones. Actually, nothing comes to mind for me in other magics besides breath and nahel bonds/dead shardblade bonds that can logically stolen, and stealing breath just seems silly. The nahel bond will probably break immediately since you kinda just went against Journey Before Destination, so that leaves shardblades.

Exactly. He seemed to have no way to get more. That's literally my entire point. By consequence he can't compound it, which would make his strength not constant. But it clearly appears to be.

Time for speculating. Once a power is given to a person a link between them and Calamity is established that Calamity can use to retake the powers (and subconsciously causes the darkness). When he moves the power back into himself the epic becomes human again, but the power still recognizes them. By overcoming their fears to save someone they can bust through the protection of Calamity's will and tear it back out of him by force. The power projects from all their cells and is retaken from all cells, consistent with the motivators. The link seems to persist after death as well. Though why pain? On a different note, according to Calamity Prof's motivators should've stopped working, so he actually showed up unarmed and his powers came back then.

I was under the impression that Warbreaker is free on Brandon's site. Or was that a different book I was thinking about?

Was chromium even produced in the Empire? If not he'd have to use Ascension to make some for bracers, which would mean limited stock and thus no compounding. Which makes his constant soothing seem out of place. I'd find it weird if he didn't put chromium and nicrosil in the cavern messages if they were available. Great anti-Inquisitor usage if Ruin is free.

I do believe he doesn't recognize the glyphs Navani was burning for a prayer though. Stands to reason he knows all the practical ones.

Um . . . doesn't everything need different bind points?

To be honest wouldn't having magic heating slow down development of "mundane" heating technologies slightly? Might not be as convenient, but that's what they've already known, and is no longer a pressing concern.

But that's just being good. Lawfulness has nothing to do with whether the rules make sense. It just cares about rules and order. Morality is for the good/evil spectrum.

"Why don't people come here again?" *sandling attacks* "Oh, right, giant indestructible monsters. I knew it was something." Not off to the best start, this guy.

Again, not dodging the problem that you need a physical, tangible body in the first place to be stabbed by pointy metal bits. Hard when your physical form appears to vanish off to somewhere when you Ascend. Hemalurgy doesn't even transfer magic, it transfers spiritweb pieces. Which plenty of magic has no correlation with whatsoever.

I don't think the timeline nor the general Aimian properties checks out.Also, did you just make the claim that people die when they are killed?

Jezrien is also the Herald of Kings for a reason. He's actual royalty (apparently), and his virtues lean towards being in charge.

I'm here wondering how you would spike someone that no longer has a flesh and blood body necessarily laying around. Without a connection to the power somehow the power won't actually listen to you as well.

Or you could just sketch the drink on and color it in too . . .

I find a book in a bookstore with a convincing blurb, first thing I do is pull up Google on my phone. Same with video games, though those I've usually been tracking for months beforehand. When I see something I didn't know about though I look it up. It really only takes maybe 15 seconds tops.

Well he needs to know language anyhow. They can't just push him around all his life for everything and expect nobody to notice either.

You have realized this reassuring fact about feruchemy and decided to take a nap. It fills you with determination.Electrum is ripe for Undertale jokes

Well, Vin was mistborn to begin with, and the lerasium is probably going to build on that. Elend and Rashek were non-allomancers, it's a comparable range. Tapping iron only makes pushing more massive objects easier, due to mass mechanics being involved. It doesn't make your steel any stronger, and definitely won't help you with objects thst simply resist steelpushing itself. Identity and connection might enhance results in a vacuum, but I have doubts as to whether it would make a difference with a coppercloud to punch through.

It's mostly because we know through Elend how powerful a lerasium mistborn was. And unless he had nicrosil to compress his powers with (which doesn't explain the giant 24/7 soothing field unless he managed to regularly compound a metal alloy nobody seemed to realize existed) the Lord Ruler's allomancy was so godlike that he makes Elend look mundane and other non-Vin allomancers seem like utter jokes. The stained glass was being affected by the steelpushes, copperclouds barely help against his soothing at all, he slams Vin backwards using the metal reserves in her stomach. We don't see him get buffer so he killed Kell with allomantic pewter strength, presumably, and it took one casual slap to break a neck. Spikes can't account for that level of absurdity and his only ones were part of his bracers as well.
