Well, if you feel your balance more acutely you should be able to correct it sooner than most people once you notice it going wrong. But really it shouldn't be humanly possible to run over several kilometers of rough terrain like that pewter drag without tripping. Stamina aside. Noticing that something is in need of correcting sooner as well as being better able to correct it probably both help. And really drives home the impression Spook gets that each misting ability really feels half-chulled and incomplete once you gain access to the paired metal as well.

We don't actually know if Endowment is female, last I checked. We don't even really know if they're all human honestly.

Well, we had Yolen, and apparently Roshar. Humans, presumably Listeners if that theory checks out, Adonalsium-spren . . . dragons.

Again with putting Ati and evil in the same sentence as if it's a black-and-white certainty. He didn't really have a choice.

Wikipedia tried to convince me that the east wind is unlucky in ancient Greece

I mean presumably the bodies are still slivers, so probably worth something in a world where resurrection is possible. Interesting quote though. What could you do with them . . .

Well, Roshar is within that "just right for life" range for orbits, which probably isn't very big. So judging from Venus and Mars it logically would be extreme, yes. Unless some shard was being considerate. EDIT: On second thought Ashyn has life too, so we already have two planets crammed into that goldilocks zone without crashing into each other (excusing shenanigans). Odium must be really nice then.

That doesn't actually contradict my statement.

She wasn't going to explain that bit, frankly.

Depends on why TLR's allomancy is also absurdly strong. Those in-body steelpushes are dangerous, though being able to match TLR in speed will help.

He wouldn't, actually. Just an arm's spiritual aspect going kaput is probably different from having your entire soul rended in two.

I'm fairly sure Bridge 4 didn't even exist yet.

Well, he probably at least had to say the "I killed my wife" bit again because everyone can tell he was visibly upset. That Harmony himself had him put on the job that lead to that is a different matter.

Well they were trying to plan for those anyway. EDIT: Back. Nice to hear the name Larsta again. Sazed apparently busy with something important and hasn't told the kandra what yet. Interesting.

Because you don't create feruchemical charge from compounding. Once a charge leaves the metalmind it's honestly not really a "charge" anymore since it's quite literally discharging. The discharged investiture enhances your body a certain way, and it's not some newfangled property, just a preexisting trait being pushed to unnatural levels. Compounding modifies/hacks the power of Preservation to produce an effect on your body's traits the same way as with feruchemy, so that when you store charge you are taking power out of an enhanced state instead of a normal one. That way you can store nonstop without dropping below the human baseline if so desired. Merely burning a metalmind will not just charge your metalminds spontaneously, you just have more to store than you should. You can just burn the metalmind directly without storing IIRC; compounded burns are purely allomantic.

What Pulse said. Yomen was the atium misting that took over Western Dominance.

The 4000+ thing, I'm pretty sure only happened once. "Taln" goes off with his mad monologuing as if he was expecting to have arrived from Damnation to train some primitive farmers who can't even cast metal.

If you believe his claim to his own innocence at least. Which we have no reason not to, because as far as I remember he has yet to lie in this era. Withhold information, dodging questions, yes, but not lie.

Turn a lifeless Kalad's Phantom army into koloss with pewterarm and steelrunner/steel compounder powers.

His earlier appearances chronologically also seem to be much less wisecracking than the Wit persona, tbh. He's Wolverine without a main character role to distract him from the rusting suckage that is his immortality, basically.

A useful instead of useless use, alternating storing and tapping luck in a controlled manner to control your gambling turnouts and turn up profit while still losing enough to not be totally suspicious. You aren't even card counting at the blackjack table or anything, so you're safe from that accusation at least. Normally to control your win rate so well you need to know how to cheat, which can betray you. Also, soulcasting a mistborn's metal into aluminum to screw them over. For useless uses, lashing a balloon downward to prevent it from floating away (so it just sinks. Well that's stupid).

I've seen a whale shark before, but I guess it was the smaller sort because that sounds huge. Guy was still pretty big but not quite that big. Still, I think it'd be easier to go pray to God for forgiveness with a bit more extra room. And to come back out, I suppose.

At least unlike AonDor, you can't actually channel the power incorrectly and produce unfortunate results like the failed healing, at most it just kills you (and you have to be way off on your metal to die from it. The healing failure, as I recall, happened from just one missing line). With allomancy, it either works, sorta works with side effects, or doesn't work at all and kills you. With AonDor, "doesn't work" is perfectly safe while "kinda channeling right" (far more likely if you have a lot of experience and just made an absentminded slip up) is potential disaster. You can only do it completely right or completely wrong without making things worse.

To be honest the shards seem closer to Demiurge than God anyway, and 16 shards' worth of power isn't going to make Adonalsium much better than that unless some truly higher consciousness was attached to it.

Well, the government is probably corrupt to some degree (like a whole lot of governments) so I wouldn't say Miles didn't have a good reason to hate them. Kelsier just had a much better reason.
