  1. Because there is little difference. If you were to create an unkeyed metalmind, then it's "a metal any Misting of that metal can burn".

    The whole "only your metal" comes from the keyed aspect of Feruchemy - your metalminds are keyed to you (unless you put some tricks into use).

     

    true.

  2. If I recall correctly, but I will need to check, when the leecher used the primer cube, he had to throw it and it hit Wax for it to burn away his reserve. So I would imagine internal powers would require touching the cube to use them. 

     

    edit: on the plus side, i think it seems that the original metal born is the only one that needs to burn the metal. So a thug could burn pewter to store the power, and then hand the cube to a person, for them to without any metal, be a thug as long as they hold it till the charge runs out. 

    the leacher does not have to hit him, the cube lands near him and his metals vanish.

     

    It's my understanding that compounding doesn't create a metal that only you can use, rather that burning a metalmind filled with your own stored attribute allowed you to release the Investiture at a ~10x profit.

    the final empire describes it as a metal only you can use, as does alloy of law, as does the MAG supplement for alloy of law.

  3. what effect would the medallions have on the children of those who were using them? the medallions are all unkeyed nicrosol metalminds that contain the ability to use a specific power and another metalmind that contains the attribute that they can use. So if somebody who could never give birth to a metalborn was given a medallion, could they then have a Metalborn child?

  4. I was wondering what would happen if you gave a primer cube to Miles Hundredlives, or any other compounder and he started compounding while holding it. when you compound you create a new metal that only you can use. so what effect would a compounder have on the primer cube? the primer cube works by gaining the allomatic power that is being used by the person holding it. so the real question is what happens when you use an internal metal on a primer cube. I ,with no evidence whatsoever, think that it would give the borrowed power to everyone in it radius of effect. So if a thug used the primer cube then everybody in the vicinity would become a thug. this power would have greatest effect in hospitals where a compounder could use his powers to heal everybody. the inspiration for this theory comes from the end of bands of mourning where a member of the set mentions to Mr. Suit that one of the other members is activating the mechanism that makes the southern airship lighter. this implies that ferucemical powers can be extended to intimate objects, and possibly to groups of people.

  5. I think that storing connection with duralumin would prevent people from noticing you are a threat. In the MAG it says that when storing connection people have a difficult time registering you are there, so it would be a perception filter.

  6. My question is, what would Feruchemy do to those senses? I mean, there's a book for a Space Age Tech Level apparently, so that may well be a part of it.

     

    As for the actual question, the inner ear is part of balance, as is sight, and one other trait of the human body. And since those are enhanced by tin, I think it would increase your sense of balance. Pewter, however, enhances your ability to keep your balance.

    the third part of balance is the pressure receptors in your feet, which counts as touch so tin could increase balance.

  7. in the first mist born trilogy, it mentions that Rashek is a very powerful feruchemist, which has caused a lot of speculation on how feruchemical power is measured, as by its nature, a feruchemists power is determined by how full their metalminds are. my theory is that the relative power of a feruchemist is measured in how good they are at conserving power. 

    in the end of TFE Sazed states that when a feruchemist taps large amounts from their metal minds that a certain amount of power is wasted. I think that the more powerful a feruchemist is the less power is wasted when tapping large amount of power. 

    lets say X is the amount of strength required to make a given feruchemist twice as powerful as before, Y is the amount of strength required to make a given feruchemist four times as powerful as before, and Z is the amount of strength required to make a given feruchemist eight times as powerful as before. according to mathematics, 2X = Y and 2Y = Z. In reality, it would be 3X = Y and 5Y =Z. a weaker feruchemist would have 5X = Y while a very powerful feruchemist would have 2.00001X =Y.

  8. Raoden has charisma. No, he has Charisma. No, he has CHARISMA.

    The day they were giving out the charismas, he was struggling with Carrot to arrive first, and no one knows who won.

    HE has so much charisma, that if he went into our world and run for the election with an independent party, he would become president with 100% votes. Even the republican and democratic candidates, in the secrecy of the urn, would vote for him, because he is that much of a leader. If would then move to sicily and get a private talk with mafia bosses; half an hour later, those bosses would be crying and swearing to never be nasty again. And then he would move to the middle east, and two days later israel and palestina would be signing a mutual agreement to everyone's satisfaction. And so on.

    That's how he's awesome.

    He has so much charisma, that you know he is awesome while you don't even understand why.

     

    Because, really, he was cursed and sent into a city of crazy living dead, with no resources whatsoever, and he managed to convince those feral people wanting only to find some food to temporary placate their perennial pain to follow him, and he managed to convince them to give up their food, and there were many gangs trying to kill him and he managed to convince all of those gangs to side up with him.

    All of this in a few weeks. With enough spare time to figure out how to fix the magic that got broken ten years ago. And then he trained his cursed followers in magic, and in one month they were skilled enough to repel an invasion of superpowered monks. And he fixed the curse.

    WAIT. CARROT? you mean captain carrot of ankh-morpork!? We like the same authors.   :ph34r:  :ph34r:

  9. Hey guys, its been a long time, but I have finally made my second theory! It regards to the function of aluminum feruchemy. we all know by now that aluminum stores identity and we have all questioned exactly what that does. My completely foundationless theory is that a trueself ferring can use his powers to become a jack-of-all-trades. the aluminum would store his identity, which would result in losing everything that marked him as unique, then he would revert to normal when he stopped storing. Then, when he tapped, he could become a master at any skill he had studied in a book. So Trueself Tim, a famous engineer, spent the last few days storing his identity, during which, he couldn't have designed a popsicle stick bridge. Also during this time he read a book about fending off multiple attackers, the only experience he's had with the skill. on his way to work, three toughs jumped him. drawing on his aluminummind, he instantly became a master of self defense. this is my theory in its entirety and has no evidence to support it whatsoever. However, if it is true, then keepers just became a LOT scarier. At the very least, you can use this in the MAG, where the players can make their own rules about the metals of they wish.

  10. Didn't Kelsier and Vin use Pewter in a powder a few times? From memory I think they used it when running to the rebel caves when they get attacked. It is an interesting point as to how exactly the rate of burn does work though, if surface area is not a factor then what determines which bit of metal is burned at which point in time? Is it sort of like radioactive decay where every particle has a random chance of being used and the average is what determines the rate?

    And Breeze used brass dust with water during the battle of luthadel when he ran out of his normal vials.

  11. 2. More skilled Allomancers can bend the rules. Here, Kelsier shows that you don't have to Push on the center of mass of an object. Allomancers can learn to do this with practice, much like Smokers can learn to protect other people in their Copperclouds from Soothing and Rioting but it isn't the default.

     

    could you please send us the WOB that says that?

  12. I can imagine the nuclear synthesis of Atium would be a pretty sweet plot point in the Sci-Fi era of Mistborn.

    "The southern continent has completed the balance bomb!"

    I actually considered this when I though up this theory and how hard it makes producing the god metals in the first place. You'd have to find a way to prevent the two powers from coming into contact with each other and blow up the neighborhood.

  13. I was wondering if there was a way to artificially generate Lerasium and Atium. this question come from the fact that everything (except humans) on scadrial contains equal amounts of ruin and preservation, I was wondering if there is some way to separate the two powers that is contained in say, a rock, and condense them into equal amounts of Lerasium and Atium.

  14. I made a youtube playlist of this. (I hope you don't mind that I added an extra song, its titanium by David Guetta and Sia, I just though it fix vins general attitude in the beginning as well as allomancy in general. I'll remove it if you want.)

  15. I doubt your luck will be able to stop you form getting slaughtered by a Seer. No matter how lucky your punches are, they mean nothing if they can all be seen and blocked in advance. Only if you dropped in a ton of luck would you be able to trick out the atium or mess with the Seer's own balance and abilities to counter you.

    the way I understand it, having extreme luck for you would have the net value of extreme bad luck for me so even a seer would have trouble with a luck compounder.
