Well, the Sovereign's coppermind apparently depicted him as having Inquisitor steelsight on the spike side of his face . . .

I still get the sense that Path is arguing something that nobody has disagreed with or really ever brought up in the first place.

. . . okay, that can have potentially dire consequences.

So congratulate yourself Lilamal. You achieved the impossible

You can very much bend without moving much or even at all, depending on the person. Psychic bloodbending is pretty broken . . . What people do with the magic is also kind of irrelevant, as the shardic intent generally manifests at the point where the power is channeled or obtained and not its usage. Which as far as we can tell is unaffected by madness and for stronger people really only needs willpower to set off. . . . and firebending apparently fails without an emotional drive of some sort. Which is odd.

What does heroism have to do with this? He's not a hero.

Well, the mists were snapping mistings as such. It is unknown if cadmium and bendalloy mistings actually existed all the while but the mists never snapped, or nobody could find in tests after snapping because the metals were not known. Which begs the question, are there actually, say, raysium or tanavastium mistings naturally, like atium mistings?

He's actually impersonating a kandra impersonating another kandra, impersonating Wayne. It's hats all the way down.

How often haa Wax actually stayed heavy and moved with his muscles though? The power can support your weight, obviously, it doesn't crush you like normal gravity does to beached whales and whatnot, but moving would be a different matter right?

I have the Epic power of making people not notice my sarcasm. Please don't hurt me . . .

Well if you can't store while tapping, then TLR's age while compounding would be rather unstable . . . If atiummind burn puts him at an older age than his preferred self, then he might just die. If younger, he would've embryo-ified himself early on.

IIRC while the crew was planning who to send to high society balls under cover, it's explicitly stated that TLR does actually attend on occasion. They only ruled Dox out because TLR knew his face from a previous job.

Isn't savantism a case of spiritual damage, and not really a trait?

Technically I'd say compounding is just making allomancy produce a power that mimics a feruchemical one. So instead of a steel allomancer you are currently acting as a "steelmind allomancer", creating steelrunning with the power of Preservation instead of a Push. As the power is now producing a feruchemical trait, it can be stored feruchemically while it is flowing through you.

Of course, you can use the Bands to recharge the Bands before they run out by compounding nicrosil. Perhaps even charge a second set. Who knows.

Well, it's not like Preservation had any control over the functions of allomancy either. Magic systems are a natural realmatic phenomenon derived from shardic investing, as far as we know. As soon as they showed up at this general spot and created Scadrial, the metallic arts came into being with no further input. The mists, however, are doing all the snapping, and while Preservation didn't create the system he is the default power source. So Ruin can't really touch that detail. Likely the only part of all this that mattered to Leras though, of course, is the 1% of atium mistings that can keep the atium from remaining in corporeal form when it mattered.

Also, Elantrians are apparently immortal (though it's apparently exhausting somehow) and their shard isn't even alive. Eithet of them. Nalthis-wise it's apparently as simple as fifth heightening. Which is only a divine breath's worth of power in normal breaths to maintain. Then there's Heralds. Not only do they remain unaged for at least 4000+ years at the longest, they even get resurrected on Braize when they die.

Lerasium alloys, IIRC, also create metal mistings as a side effect when burned by non-metalborn, in the same way pure lerasium created mistborn. I demand Tanavastium steel!

Well, Dawnshot and Hundredlives sound more like nicknames for badasses. The Crew had near-religious titles, really, like Counselor of Gods, Lady Truth (think that was from SoS?), or Ascendant Warrior. Or historically-grounded ones like Lord Mistborn and Last Emperor.

I don't recall him ever being described to have any color to his powers actually. I guess they just happened to be green, so he settled on "Limelight" again.

Both R'tich and Limelight had powers that were primarily telekinetic, which lends to relatively simple designs, I'd reckon. The Spiril needed special apparatus due to its nature. I'd imagine a Regalia glove set could be similar enough to be interchangeable with R'Tich, but we can't say for sure without knowing the mechanical inner workings of channeling the resulting power. If it works though, add pyrokinesis and aerokinesis equipment and we'll have the Avatar. If it doesn't cause interference . . .

The twin thing though, is a similar issue to motivators. They can feel each other using their powers as pain (I suppose if motivators were at all sentient they would too. But they aren't). Motivators work presumably because Calamity can't be bothered to differentiate a person's cells that are still part of them to those that aren't. So perhaps with identical twins, if one became an epic the other became one automatically as well, as Calamity gifts powers using DNA as recognition, and can't tell the difference as a result. Do twin epics have different weaknesses I wonder, or the same one? Actually, did motivator tech get affected by weaknesses, or is a conscious mind capable of experiencing the weakness trigger necessary?

But what if Calamity is from the cosmere? He's not necessarily from the multiverse itself

Um . . . everybody knows that it does? Elantris is Aon Rao. That's like, the most important part about it in the book. They even go and fix it with the chasm line. And then everyone realized the line was drawn in the wrong spot and the new edition fixed the location. It's almost impossible to read Elantris and not realize that the whole thing and the four cities form Aon Rao.

To this day I wonder why people still think metal is invested, because we've been told repeatedly that it's not . . . We also know that Nightblood was intentionally forged as a shardblade.
