If he does something he goes all the way, as I see it. Gotta wear real armor 24/7 for real, get yourself thrown into Elantris for being cursed by the Shaod (he picked the one miracle to fake with the greatest impact, despite of what he would have to go through in the process). He doesn't stop at the point where you understand his point, he's going to do everything properly to the end.

How does one simply cause a massive earthquake that ruptured the foundations of the country though?

Matter does that because matter is basically energy. So in the end the relationship of investiture to energy becomes as he described anyway.

. . . Trell is communist. It makes so much sense!

Yeah, you did, it's that sort of thing.

Also, the name is feruchemy. You keep using that bizarre name that looks like a mashup of both.

Well law is a moral obligation to your country, so in a way it relates to honor. Windrunners walk the thin line of being too unrealistic with their idealism, while Skybreakers risk focusing too much on the retribution and not the meaning behind the law.

Well the third one was the one that killed him way later.

Isn't that mostly Kaladin's seasonal depression kicking in?

He regenerates faster than you think man. Just being gifted with it lets David recover in the blink of an eye from part of his body basically getting vaporized.

That really just brings us back to the map/name list and dartboard with throwing knives though. While blindfolded of course.

We talk about medallions a lot because having powers artificially without murdering people is great, but I see less discussion on what you would do with this glowing alkali metal-ly stuff. I mean, we don't know how it works, but how about some ideas on possibilities right? What sort of device or contraption do you think ought to be made with this strange metal? If nothing else I'd want bunkers to have strategic leeching areas all over in the distant future.

Well he does find her relatively cute for a maskless barbarian IIRC.

Trace metals ingested with food/drink. Nobody said they knew how to properly burn large amounts thst I recall. Alendi was one and he didn't even seem to know his powers existed.

If not for the fact that the planet was artificial it would've had to be due to physics.

Well you don't have to take the magic powers when you spike someone . . .

On the bright side stormlight heals, so Windrunners and Skybreakers don't have to worry about the dramatic superhero landing being bad for the knees.

Yeah, I'm not sure how making a post just to say that you won't say anything helps. We didn't need to know that, as we didn't exactly expect you to speak. Fire away.

This is the sort of fantasy where the author tries to leave as much of physics intact as possible though. I mean a character actually goes and brings up our long-pondered mystery of time bubbles and red shift after seeking evidence for the conservation of momentum in steelpushes.

It'd honestly be about as useful for impromptu plans as Prof's tensor shockwaves.

Well technically Lessie is dead. Twice even.

Um . . . The allomancy charges in the Bands were useless without metal to burn. You can't store the power you get from burning. The thing stores your allomantic strength.

Scadrial metal isn't even invested in the first place.

Well, if one for all feruchemy then at least 17. Inquisitor steelsight is abnormally sensitive as is generally observed. And he does have it. But aren't many feruchemy spikes useless in combat? Ruin mostly needs kill squads.

I'd like to point out on that Roshar bit that surgebinding itself doesn't seem to have anything to do with oaths at all, only the nahel bonds that usually grant surgebinding do. For example, honorblades will function regardless of what you do. As for Scadrial, the shardic influence is mostly on how power is obtained, or more specifically how the investiture of the person involved in the magic is treated. An allomancer's innate investiture remains generally unchanged (ignoring the effects on one's soul from being invested in the first place at least) as power from Preservation fuels their powers. Feruchemy does separate and change the nature of innate investiture using metallic storage mediums, but there is no loss. Hemalurgy rips souls apparently violently with irreversible damage to both ends and constantly progressing decay; entropy increases the most here as it isn't functioning as a closed, heavily structured (if fragmented) system like in feruchemy.
