Shadowborn

Actually, I assumed that was Queen Elsa Steelheart (nervously laughs and hides in a barrel)

Shadowborn, on 17 Feb 2015 - 11:18 PM, said: Pretty sure Allo just refers to the metal." Quite a shame that is, quite a shame. But, can we call Fullborn "Alchemists" instead?

Hemalurgy confirmed?

www.iflscience.com/technology/jewelry-harvests-energy-wearers Jewelry touches/pierces your body and harvests energy...anyone else thinking what I am thinking?

On the subject of Fullmetal Alchemist references, I must say two things. First: Allomancy+Feruchemy= Alchemy? Second is inspired by M.A.G., but what if you had a metal leg as a metalmind or Hemalurgic spike?

I want to see how pirates would use Atium, considering that most often pirates are drunk and the atium shadows would be disregarded. Steelpush cannons would be fun, especially since you could put yourself in a cannon and Steelpush away.

If I had a supply of atium larger than a marble, then I would probably choose atium. If not, I'd compound Steel, because you only need Speed and Steelpush activated hidden blades to be an assassin.

Awaken your vial of metals to "not burn." Store iron constantly due to Weight Watchers. Make a Shardblade into a Shardkitchen-knife. Now for a semi useful one Soulcast metals while you burn them (if possible, turn your aluminum into atium!)

"Quote This is baked good Hemalurgy, no?" No. I work with baked good Lerasium for the entire Cosmere. I personally have taken splintered shards and mixed them with my frosting. Furthermore, something I didn't hear about that I would like your opinion on: Misting/Mistborn PIRATES!

NO! I am eating my own cookies and more importantly I finished Firefight, (which for some reasons reminded me of WoA.) (PS. Whoever really made these did it for a book club. 10/10)

By telling me to bake my own food, he is preventing me from eating his food, meaning that his food is poison! I shall work in my own bakery.

I can't accept this cookie. There is a dark, dark secret to this Pastry Investiture...I cannot let it get into the wrong hands.

This is a dangerous situation. I have been offeded a Cookiemalurgist object by a group with Dark in it's title...hmm. I am considering it. Panda, I would like to hear your opinion.

If we want to know what happens to the metals after being burn, we need to know how they're being burned and make an assumption based on that. The metals aren't being digested, because it was mentioned in the first book that the metals are hard to pass. This means that the metal reserves could actually be an organ (if it was, it would probably be the appendix,) but probably not. Hmmmm.

I felt the same about that Alloy of Law stuff. I wonder if there's still some Atium and Lerasium lying around. Atium burners would be seen as basically gods in that society and if there was Lerasium then Wax becomes...amazing. Almost put a spoiler on a fansite, silly me. Now then, back to the Pastry Investiture. Quite similar to the form based investitures of Sel and the types of metals used in investitures on Scadrial, the Pastry Investiture is similar to Lerasium, but for the entire Cosmere. Inside Andalosium, there was a smidgen of frosting on the very tip. When it was shattered, this frosting was imbued with a shard as a Hemalurgic spike. The Pastry based investiture is the purest form of Andalosium and works aon all planets in the Cosmere. In order to access this Investiture (which shall be referred to as Bakurizong) one must find a person who's baking skill is "The best in the county" and eat one of their pastries, which unlocks the art of Bakurizong. From there, you can bake and/or replicate the magic systems across all the realms.

Soulcasting metals. Could you soulcast metalminds (empty or full) or Allomantic metals. You probably could make alloys by soulcasting the pure metals and the components (e.g. cadmium and bismuth) then forging them together...but the world may never know.

As of now, I'd say Mistborn for the magic system, then. Who among us would/ does play Mistborn Adventure Game? Who among us would like to see Misting/Mistborn pirates during the Age of Heroes? (First Gen.)

So the metal returns to the place of it's mining and this only happens if a metal is burned, according to Kelsier (will get the quote for it soon.) What happens if you burn metal from other planets, even if they are the same metal? Are they bound to the planet?

The only reason I'm accepting my pastries is so I don't get caught in the resulting food fight... I know the Reckoners is not part of the Cosmere, but wouldn't that be interesting? If say, a Steelpusher ended up in Newcago. I shall follow the path of Pastry Investitures...so I can walk around with cakeminds on my shoulders and eat baguettes that give me Allomancy. My favorite BS book is actually a tough call. I don't want to choose until I read up on all of the Cosmere.

As for where that came from, I was basing it on the belief that if metals in Allomancy were similar to enzymes used in chemical reactions, then all of the world is perfectly capable of producing the reactions, but it can't due to the fact that the metals lowered the energy requirement in the body that made the effects possible. For example, in HoA after Elend realizes what the mists were Snapping people in the armies, it's mentioned that the soldier's bodies know exactly how to process the metals. As for Lerasium, in that case it would be similar to a key, allowing the Allomantic metals to be accepted in the body and used for that reason. I've noticed since writing this that the energy required to produce an Allomantic effect is provided by an external source, which I'm assuming is Ruin and Preservation and the Allomantic reactions are not based entirely on natural science. What I'm wondering is where the metals go. The metals probably could reform, but I assumed that was exclusive to Atium and Lerasium, because the metals were part of only one of the Shardholders (which is why the Well could open once per millennium and the Atium crystals could keep growing the metal.) Where else could they go?

Also, two troll sounding things that would be amazing if they were real: The name Calamity and the fact that it gives people powers...is it secretly a shard? Two: Pastry based Investitures. Make cakes with the symbol for atium on them and now all of a sudden you can burn atium!

Welcome to the new Shard club! Have an upvote and a cheese baguette. I dare not enter the muffin and cookie politics for fear of sanity.

@mckeedee123 Entirely correct! The metal itself is not where the power is from at all. But what we must remember is that the metals and their absorptions are entirely chemical, seeing as it takes a specific composition of metal to be burned without causing what appears to be a migraine. In a similar fashion, enzymes are often set to a specific environment in the body and moving these enzymes into unintended locations would make whatever reaction that would occur impossible. As for the location of the power, the power is from the shards of Preservation and Ruin. The metal is simply taking the energy from Preservation and Ruin and making it possible for the energy to be tapped. What I'm suggesting is that the metal may efficient in bringing out its effects, it may not be necessary. @Redbird3000 Really now? Would directly receiving Investiture from the Shard/Shardholder itself be possible?

Seeing as everyone else has gotten to all the multi-novel theories, I think I'll start small and look into what happens to a metal after it's consumed. This heory is based entirely upon the Alloy of Law Ars Arcanum "On the Three Metallic Arts": "...Though the metals are consumed in the proccess, the power itself does not come from the metal. The metal is a catalyst, you might say, that begins an Investiture and keeps it running." In a similar fashion, the word catalyst is often used to describe an enzyme, which is a type of protein often found in a living being. To spare the details. an enzyme takes a chemical reaction and makes it require less energy in order to activate. The reaction does not come from the catalyst, but the reaction is easier because of the catalyst. When enzymes are depleted, they're recycled into the body. Assuming that metals are recycled in a similar fashion to enzymes, If you recycled enough of a certain metal, would that be how you become a savant? Does aluminum burning thusly help you become a savant? More importantly, This could mean that it's entirely possible for someone to manifest the energy required to mimic the effects of an Allomantic ability and could describe how Elend and Vin felt "phantom metals" during the moments before they became gods or died (in that order.) So, the three important things from this theory: 1: Metals and Allomancy = Chemical reactions in the human body. All people on Scadrial, perhaps all people in the Cosmere are capable of Allomancy, not just those who have Snapped. 2: Savants could be made by the absorption of metals into the body, based on the body's increased tolerance for it. 3: Normal people could possibly have Allomantic abilities without metals, using energy from alternate sources. I'll admit what I'm looking at is being looked at by an entirely scientific point of view. I'm assuming there are some shard based may deny some of my more outrageous tangents.

Probably HoA, I read most of the preludes. Alloy of Law was pretty helpful too. Now, to the theory.
