Hemalurgy cares about the Spiritweb, which has very little to do with internal physiology. As long as the basic silhouette is the same, I wouldn't be surprised if they did. (At the very least it would make in-world experimentation much easier)

Not necessarily. There's 5 base metals unaccounted for (Electrum, Cadmium, Bendalloy, Chromium, and Nicrosil), any of which could steal the ability to use any of the magic systems we've seen. Leaving them aside, there are the godmetals and their alloys, which balloons the number of candidate spikes to an obscene amount, at the cost of making them punishingly rare, as you pointed out.

Great punchline. If Steelpush-powered pizza delivery doesn't appear in Era 3 Mistborn in some capacity, I will be disappointed.

Pewter that Harmony was only too happy to provide, I'd wager. (Through the "phantom metals" effect as imparted by Preservation!Vin and as felt by Elend during HoA)

I'm not a native Italian speaker (obv.) so I'll be kludging the accent a bit anyways. (The audiobook thing continues to be confusing and unnecessary... ) Thanks so much for your help! EDIT: I do have a basic idea of how the vowels sound and such (even before listening to your file, thanks again for that BTW), so I at least have a starting point. (Go go gadget 2-semesters-of-College-French!)

That Shallan question is really interesting.

Ruin couldn't see his own metal because it glowed just like every metal, and was thus easily camouflaged with other bits of metal. Also, Harmony would recognize harmonium, I think, if only because his Shard sense would recognize anything native to Scadrial.

First off, the person you have listed as "Bradley Cooper" is Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, from Game of Thrones. Second, neither him nor Bradley Cooper look enough like Michael Fassbender's brother for the Kelsier-Marsh relation to work. (Nor, it should be said, do Waldau and Cooper qualify to play brothers with an astonishing resemblance to each other) Eddie Izzard as Breeze is genius, though, as is Anton Yelchin playing Spook. What else has Steinfeld (your Vin) been in?

The main point is I'll be GMing, and therefore will need to speak this language (or fake it well enough for a group of player characters). The audiobook, while not necessary, would be helpful in that regard. Thanks very much for the Portuguese translations, BTW. It's amazing how intelligible google translate finds them.

That must have been a typo that didn't get fixed in the Kindle edition of the original, because I distinctly recall "Hunkey Key" as being odd. Ah well, it's definitely fixed now.

Hey all, I'm looking to use Spook's dialect as the inspiration for a fictional language, but I'm not sure where exactly to ask this question so here goes: How exactly is Spook's dialect, "High Imperial," rendered in languages other than English? Italian would probably be preferred (as that's the cultural basis for the race that would get this language) but really, any language you can provide input on would be greatly appreciated. EDIT: I removed the reference to the audiobook, as it's not strictly necessary for my purposes.

I suspect mechanical Allomancy needs to come into play somehow. And Time bubbles, if nothing else, would work for making sure that the crew is still alive once the destination is reached.

Harmony probably has some arrangement.

I think it would be a good idea for us to have a bit of a changelog from first edition to 10th anniversary edition, at the very least for the Coppermind. So, without any further ado: The map of Arelon has changed, and in addition there is a map of Elantris and Kae, and one of the continent of Sycla (including a very testy note from Nazh, who apparently acquired it while stranded in Fjorden). The Aons, to follow suit, have changed, with the curve in Aon Aon angled slightly differently and continuing further to the right than it started. Sarene's pet name for her favorite uncle has changed from "Hunkey Key" to "Hunkey Kay", to sell the idea that she only knew his first initial as a child. Raoden's Chasm Line run does not start with him running towards Kae, but instead running towards the southern city, Toa. Specifically, he makes a beeline for the Elantris gate leading to Toa, and draws the line en route. The random encounter that kills Karata is altered so that a contingent of Derethi soldiers was looking for Elantrian or Arelish refugees in the ruins of Toa, and run across the trio. The distance that Adien gives Raoden, in paces, is divided in two before its incorporation into the Aon that teleports him there. And, of course, the addition of the Ars Arcanum and the stinger with Hoid and the skaze. Feel free to add others, if you spot any.

There was a WoB that said that Hoid would be a major character of the Sci-fi Mistborn trilogy where everything comes to a head, but I don't recall him saying that Hoid would be the main character of that trilogy, per se.

Except for minor issues where the sun rises in the wrong place, or when a character runs from a point A to a point B that don't match with the given evidence, or a character dies by perforation when he should have died in the grand tradition of most Disney villains.

Also the ebook version should be fully updated, no matter the source, and Kindle at least will auto-update the book if you bought it before the rerelease was, um, released. As for the actual additional content:

I think Peter (or someone) came up with "light isn't affected by time bubbles" because otherwise Wayne would microwave people whenever he burned bendalloy.

From the pages of the 10th anniversary edition: The X on Aon Mea has changed position, as the chasm is now occupying the place where it used to be. More importantly, however, the X is now on a place that is off the bottom edge of the map of Arelon. We now have a Shape for Aon Dii, which has 3 circles inside and along the bottom edge of the central Aon Aon. Likewise, Aon Eno has now been given a shape, which sports a squiggly line from the central dot to the upper-right corner. (Gee I wonder what that could be)

Success! I called the help line and confronted them with the issue of the mismatched cover, and they cleared it up right away. The person also suggested that anyone with the problem delete and redownload the book(from both cloud and device) and if that doesn't work, the helpline knows it's an issue now, so they should be able to help.

I thought the book that Spook picked up at the end of HoA - the one with his letter inside - was supposed to be the same one as the epigraphs on HoA. Which have at least 2 references to Hemalurgy. (I'd try and track down more, but I have misplaced my copy of HoA) So unless Harmony went back through later and removed those references, we can categorically state that Hemalurgy did, in fact, show up in the Words.

On Shadesmar:

That doesn't match with the quotes from the Words that we've seen (i.e. the epigraphs to HoA), which do mention Hemalurgy, and how it differs from Allomancy and Feruchemy.

A) There is in fact a "chasm" of sorts on Scadrial, but it's taken - The Pits of Hathsin. B ) I can think of no evidence for particular shards having chasms rather than Shardpools to mark planets that they are heavily Invested in. Aside, of course, from the Pits of Hathsin, which was a Preservation-made kludge to stave off Ruin's sudden yet inevitable escape.

Second Mistborn trilogy (now Era 3) is supposed to be 1980s-level tech, and I don't believe those plans have changed with the inception of WaW. I seem to recall a WoB on the subject.
