If that's what Hoid left for, he must work pretty fast, since he returned in time for the WoR epilogue. Huzzah for god metal!

Yeah,but how does one even spiritually grant someone the ability to stab you in the heart with a pointy bit of metal? Even babies or you neighbor's dog can do that. The only thing you can do is teach them the bind points, which takes as much divine intervention as it would to write a book. A really thick book.

I agree. We should preserve the festive mood. Using Stormfather's name in vain: Bridge Swore

I'd guess it was just to denote in text that she's definitely not speaking modern language? 300 years changes more than you'd think. We know what high imperial sounds like. It's just Spook being Spook because official government languages totally need to be intentionally obtuse slang. It's not that.

Surgebinding technically does come from something bonded to your spiritweb though, with damage to that spiritweb as a prerequisite for the spren variant. Having that occur grants you the ability to infuse and manipulate stormlight. It's at least related to spiritual genetics. Hemalurgy is literally just the act of stabbing someone with metal in the right place, then stabbing that metal into someone else in the right place. There is nothing to grant. You either know how to do it or you don't.

Inhuman aside, the "alien" bit implies something that doesn't look natural.

Speeding up reflexes are the most I'd accept steel to grant for the "stops you from dying to your powers" abilities. Mental speed outright is storable in a different metal. She would also only be able to communicate with gestures or writing, since the air itself is decelerated.

At the height of her power

Yeah, I reckoned the wreck was involved. Seas in general are pretty unchanging. Especially with no plate tectonics involved.

Wayne is also Wayne enough to mention irrelevant details that he has discovered.

Hemalurgy isn't genetic, so that bit is clearly true. As for making Mistborn . . . lerasium exists. For mistings, lerasium alloys exist. Harmony being Harmony he is probably never inclined to do so, but he could. For feruchemy, well that's the eternal mystery isn't it? Why do the Terris even have it?

This is Mistborn, Gibletish. The series where you can discern the identity of the Hero of Ages from the first three words of the first epigraph of HoA through tone of speech alone. Mr. Sanderson pays attention to these things.

Kaladin and friends at a campfire: Bridge Smores. Not enough crews for plateau run: Bridge More.

@skaa Don't know much about alcohol since I can't drink, but does there need to be a deeper reason for her to like port in the first place?

Copper is probably cheaper though.

Her power is arguably better than yours in dangerous circumstances. Yours can earn you good coin though, if you can find an allomancer who likes their privacy for whatever shady reason.

It is said Inquisitors can pass down their allomantic potential ("complications" aside), so I normally assume koloss-blooded are just human children of koloss that have inherited the additional human strength to some degree.

Plate probably looks cooler in color, mind. Plus, it looks a little like normal plate armor in shape, but the joints are perfectly sealed with more plating that is probably fluid-tight, and it snaps into place without being strapped together and then adjusts size to fit perfectly. If Iron Man wanted to look more medieval he'd probably look like this, I reckon. I facepalm every time I forget about Thaylen eyebrows looking weird.

I haven't . . . actually made a legitimate argument myself yet though. This is a discussion about something we know little enough about to be unable to do much more than speculate about, and I'm just expressing concern about an answer to performing a certain loophole that seems oddly simple compared to a different existing loophole. Metalminds are at least just discernable enough from normal metal that a distorted response from the burn is somewhat expected, but for feruchemy to naturally be able to store allomantic power without interference seems counterintuitive. But then again, many things about Scadrial are from the wrong perspective.

Not many people can harm him either, so it might come down to that. x3 Hoid for lols x2 Lightsong

I generally avoid answering outright because I am terrible at thinking up new topics to make people guess, so I'll just not say anything about that I suppose . . . carry on.

Is it underwater?

To anyone who is not satisfied with their results, you can always ask the Dark Alley for help.

Compounder twinborn are rare, but there's enough of them for the term to exist, so you'd think some double steel twinborn out there would've figured out the superpush by now. Plus, its easier to accept the burning process to detect a difference between an invested steelmind and a lump of normal steel, than it is to accept that normal lump of steel that's supposed to store speed somehow being able to store investiture encoded for "push metal away" without some tinkering with metallic art mechanics. There's no indication that allomancy considers them "close enough", if anything you are burning two atomically identical things and getting entirely different forms of investiture channeled into you.

Their cells probably look human normally. Investiture causes impossible biology to exist pretty often, anyway, and they are basically dead people awakened by a shard. Like deluxe edition Lifeless. The definition of "species" gets kind of vague with things like Returned, Listeners, and koloss around. You'd think they'd be way different biologically but it somehow works regardless.
