The fact that thugs sometimes die from wounds they forgot about when they stop burning also tells us that they are fully capable of taking injuries that is completely lethal under normal circumstances and still be able to fight. That is an inhuman level of endurance.
-
Well considering the name of the group is the Aon Ire and that they have glowing silvery skin, I'd say Alonoe is Elantrian.
-
I don't think any book so far has ever focused on cosmere stuff outright. There's always a more pressing plot to go through.
-
Judging from the steelsight going on in that memory though, I would assume the spike itself is inherently supposed to have steel or iron allomancy . . . but somehow also binds Kelsier to physical form again. Hemalurgy really is capable of achieving much more than we ever dreamed, isn't it?
-
"I hope you're prepared to own up to the deal, because the Bank of Hoid has the highest interest rate in the cosmere."
-
You know, I actually did not notice before that Steris apparently downed half of Wax's soda while he wasn't looking.
-
It shouldn't make you laugh to much. People here use the same storming curses from books being discussed all the time.
-
You'd need to give them aluminum feruchemy somehow though, of course.

[Bands Spoilers] Parallels Between Feruchemy and the Shards
natc replied to followthelight's topic in Mistborn
Yeah, Sazed never remarks on memory decay as a bizarre phenomenon, not the same way VenDell does for some odder things like how tapping zinc apparently makes you hungry. Memories naturally degrade a bit in one's mind and, depending on the age of the memory, can even be untrustworthy or completely false. We don't run on computer hard drives, you know? -
What's complicated for me is why the burn rate spontaneously changes . . .
-
It wouldn't really be children to them if the parents, as hemalurgic constructs, are basically of a different species. How would you even spike the child into a kandra preemptively? They must have some way to sire normal mistwraiths for the hypothetical extra blessings they don't have lying around to be given to.
-
Well, obviously it's not audio only since pewter-spike Spook and Vin can see Ruin with their spikes in, disguises aside. It just wouldn't do to risk agitating Wax into unintentionally shooting his own coach, like he said.
-
Basically that. TenSoon had his own blessings intact, adding two more. This case is half ReLuur and half TenSoon. Hemalurgic decay apparently affects their memories, so I'd imagine the spiritwebs in the spikes are somehow necessary to their cognitive or memory functions. Trying to Frankenstein yourself two unpaired halves into one guy will probably cause issues.
-
Shardplate coats of color are just painted on though, right?
-
Wasn't the Dor also straining against Raoden for release as well, until he discovered the chasm line? Elantrians likely are also a temporary conduit like allomancers.
-
Miles is continously slightly healthier than normal at all times, so he is definitely tapping nonstop. One can presumably burn metalminds directly for emergency usage, of course, but it's probably not generally advised as using the inherently well-controlled power usage of feruchemy is more efficient and can produce the same or even stronger results as well as lesser results as the need arises.
-
Imagine awakening a Nightblood with aons . . . If we can figure out how to place commands with aonic encoding instead of speech as well, we might be able to even forge an honorblade or something.
-
Or he could just be a coward and have an intent that didn't contradict that part of him.
-
Well if nothing else, the investiture that his soul is made from probably came from Adonalsium, like how Scadrialian souls are made from Ruin and Preservation.
-
A single surgebinder is stronger than a combat-oriented misting, ferring, or twinborn, definitely. A surgebinder with every surge due to honorblades and whatnot is considerably less overpowered as a mistborn with full feruchemy.
-
Ah, right, forgot that. Well this complicates matters.
-
Then the beats are turned up and the background drowned out a bit when one concentrates on burning bronze?
-
Being able to control my wakefulness or overeat without too many repercussions is too useful for me. That, and I can probably store speed now and again while reading SA books. That somewhat overpowered ability is always good to have.

Wayne vs Deadpool. I think I broke the internet.

I'll upvote him back I guess.
