Atium and Lerasium are kinda considered to be outside of the main sixteen since they are the condensed power of a Shard and not an actual metal.

Wax can't burn Atium since he isn't either an Atium Misting or a Mistborn.

The Coppermind says AoL takes place 341 years after HoA.

Yes. But having a gem implanted in you doesn't mean that a bond of any kind will form. As for Nightblood, I'm not sure if it uses a bond to communicate but it does have a bond with Vasher since he used Nightblood unsheathed, it's why Vasher never feels sick or compelled to kill around it.

I'm not sure blowdarts would have much of an effect on a Pewterarm. It would have to be a really strong poison and you would have to get fairly close to use the blowgun. Plus, since Pewterarms are incredibly fast I would rather have a weapon that lets me put a little space between us.

To counter Lurchers and Coinshots :
Bullets with a body of iron or steel. Something metalic that the Allomancer can see and manipulate. And a detachable tip made of aluminium. Fire at a Coinshot : he will push the bullet, thinking he is safe but he will still be harmed by the tip that would have enough momentum to carry on its trajectory.
All in all its just a remake of Vin's trick with the Inquisitor and the Obsidien arrows with metal rings. I'm surprised Brandon didn't use that one again.
Actually in Alloy of Law a character named Ranette made bullets exactly like what you described, only she used ceramic tips, which would be cheaper and eliminate the need for all the metallurgical research needed to get a strong aluminum alloy. That was actually a pretty important point in the book, until then nobody knew of any aluminum alloys that were durable enough for guns and bullets but still inert to Allomancy.

I would say Allomantic Pewter and Feruchemical Zinc. A strengthened mind to go along with a strengthened body. After all, what good is superhuman strength if you cannot properly apply it?

This is a really cool theory. Especially how Chasmfiends might use Stormlight to pupate. I'm not sure about the artificial gemheart part, even if you had a gem implanted in you (which does raise some interesting points about the stored investiture) I don't think the gem would grow or that a spren trapped in it would bond you to it in some way.

Special Tineye rounds with holes cut into the sides acting as whistles.
Guns made with square barrels to fire matching bullets for taking out either Bloodmakers or Pewterarms, the edges would create ragged wounds that are hard to heal from or ignore. Back in the nineteenth century a few guns like this were actually made, they were very lethal but not very accurate at longer ranges,

I love cookies. Chocolate chip are the best, but oatmeal cranberry are pretty good too. I wonder what kinds of cookies, or cookie-like desserts, they have in the Cosmere.

Hi everyone!
I was first introduced to Brandon Sanderson's works through my dad's old Wheel of Time books. I then started reading his books and still can't stop. My favorite series is Mistborn, my favorite book is Way of Kings (Words of Radiance and Hero of Ages are closely tied for second place), and my favorite novella is Sixth of the Dusk.
I'm really excited to become a part of the forum.

Do you have a quote or WoB for that? I don't recall anything of the sort.
