I think that when it comes to compounding you have to think of how the powers work together. It doesn't work very well for brass 'cause all you could do is make people less worried about how you're about to burn to a crisp, but Imagine what an iron compounder could do to a nice big metal skyscraper; so while it may not be able to cause extinction or make a black hole, it could be extremely destructive. If you think of how Elendel is advancing, ;and the more powerful people are starting to use electricity for everyday things it could be very dangerous if an iron compounder pulled on every bit of metal in a building (or multiple buildings) at once. It may be possible to level the city if you had enough iron to compound, and because most of Scadrial's people (on the northern hemisphere anyways) are in Elendel it could kill a huge chunk of the global population. So strategically placed iron compounders could in theory do it, but it'd probably be hard to get that many because twinborn are rare, and compunders are a rarer for of twinborn made harder to get because a certain kind is needed.

So I've been thinking about allomancy and feruchemy; the obvious thing to come from that is of course questions about compounding. So I'm curious about brass coumpounding; or more specifically brasses feruchemical properties taken to the extreme. The way I see it brass affects your heat physically, but one thing I'm curious about is how? does it store heat in degrees (fahrenheit or celsius) or as something multiplicative (current heat times stored number). The difference it would make one way or another is huge because compounding is multiplicative, and would increase the stored number in different ways. It would also change how the power applied; if it multiplies then you would have your current heat multiplied, whereas if it added then you would have the heat added to you. This is however somewhat boring, and so I'll get to why I'm curious about brass... explosions. Because explosions are simply the pressure wave between something incredibly hot all of a sudden, and brass makes you hotter theoretically your could make an explosion, but whether you would survive or it would be big is what I'm wondering; which is why I made this about compounding, that makes it so there's not the problem of it taking a decade's worth of heat to make a little explosion. So I'm wondering about everyone's take on this because I know that one person can't think in the ways that other people can. (unless you're Stephen Leeds, and I'm not)

So just looking through here, and I have to vote team 1 A. I'm pretty sure that the teleportation plates inside of Elantris are made of metal, and so it's possible Vin could move it (This is assuming she knows what it does.) and keep Raoden from using it. B. Is shardplate allomantically inert? if it isn't then a duralamin/steel push on Eshonai could stop her long enough for Kal of Hrathen to kill her, and I would guess that anyone not from scadrial would have metal on them, allowing Vin to kill you with all your mercenary gold, and a well placed push could even run Denth through with his own sword. I don't think he could survive that. It does come down to Raoden and Vin in the end, and so either Raoden hits her with Aon Daa or Aon Ehe. Or she uses allomancy to take him out of the fight, and if she hit him with a powerful soothing (like she did with Straff Venture) it could stun him long enough for her to either push enough coins into him to kill or incapacitate him, or lop off his head with any nearby metal. So assuming that Raoden doesn't kill off Kal and Hrathen quickly the fight would be difficult but doable. Even without them it would be possible, but more difficult, as she could use electrum to see if she will die, and of course mistborns are very good at running away. A metal plaque such as the teleportation tablet could launch her far out of Raoden's range. Also are we allowing Vin to use bendalloy? I would guess no, but if she had it then all she would need to do is drop a bubble with 50 coins outside and launch them through Denth's head, and right through Eshonai's visor taking out two members of the opposing team.
