This is an excellent analogy imo. Yeah it's very very hard to do, and you pay a ruinous price to do it, but it can be done.

Yet in The Final Empire book, as the revolt has begun, someone, I think it's Breeze says something along the lines of "Kel showed us how to take down the inquistors, just get enough people to hold them down and then chop their head off.", this is a statement that the entire crew seems to agree with. I'm inclined to believe that a crew of mistings, all familiar with allomancy has a pretty good idea if enough people would be able to physically restrain an inquistor even with all their allomantic powers.

While this is true, a group of normal humans wouldn't be using Kelsier's exact methods, but holding the thing down and then someone doing the chopping.

No Kelsier swung an axe and beheaded it. That is within normal human ability if the inquisitor is being held down.

I'm not positive on this, but I think in the past the mistspirit was referenced as the shadow of self. Not sure what this would mean.

Or one of those evil little triangles. Did those ever get a name?

Personal opinion here. Wax will probably do it anyway. He'll hate Harmony, but can you really see Wax letting someone get hurt just to spite Harmony? I don't think his own morals will allow it.

Alternate theory. He might be able to stop him easily as he'd be ruining Marsh but preserving others and thus both intents are mildly satisfied.

Am I sure. No absolutely not. The only thing I know is that at the end of warbreaker Vasher swings him and things go poof when he connects and he drains Vasher's breath.

Gut feeling, Marsh won't be alone much longer.

Was there a WoB about that? Because from the books I wouldn't say that, I would say that he hadn't used any in front of a viewpoint character.

People are talking about aluminum bullets because they don't show up with iron or steel, which means they couldn't see it coming or try to deflect it. My comment with accuracy is that from my admittedly limited understanding, shooting at sniper ranges such as a mile away are already heavily influenced by the wind. A lead bullet is heavier than an aluminum bullet, so a lead bullet would have more inertia to any side to side movement, that lesser inertia is what makes me question if a shot could be made from a mile away with a bullet made from such a light weight material.

Interesting. Thanks for posting that. I hadn't seen that before, I agree with you that Jasnah doesn't seem as far along at that point as Kaladin or Shallan currently are. She seems very unfamiliar with all of what she can do with her surges, in fact she seems to just be using part of the transportation surge for the first time possibly.

Umm pretty sure nightblood feeds off it's wielder. The people struck by it when unsheathed in warbreaker seemed to turn to smoke completely. No body left to sit around.

Aluminum is such a light metal that I question the accuracy at that range.

Plating bones or any other large object would be found. They may not have x-rays. But they certainly could do a cavity search and palpate his abdomen. This leaves the skull and chest. The skull doesn't have enough free space for something large and the chest, while having room, would create several signs that a doctor could read. Because of this, I don't believe he could have hidden something much larger than a ring.

There's an easy explanation for the choice. It could have been made before.

I wonder if being struck with an unsheathed nightblood would kill him.

Doesn't the size of the mind matter? They said they weren't able to find it. Which means that it was a very small metalmind in physical size. A large spike of gold, would I believe be a different story.

Modern weapons wouldn't make much of a difference. You have to remove the connector spike or the head. You'd need either a monster of of gun that could destroy the head entirely in one shot, or maybe some kind of high explosive that could blow the body apart instantly. As for the double strength thing, that all depends on the inquisitor. Some could be stronger in certain abilities.

Part of that was fear though. They were "immortal" servants of god. Mind games gave them an edge during the Final Empire. I don't think they were exceptional beyond their known powers though. They were mistborn with feruchemical gold. I don't believe they started to get other feruchemical storages until TLR died. (I may be wrong if anyone can correct me on that....) This means that like Kelsier, they couldn't fight a whole army. Sure they'd take out a terrifying number of soldiers first, but they could be pulled down unless they escaped, likely by using steel to leap away. Atium would be the only problem and it's a huge one, but throw enough bodies into the mix and you'll eventually catch them in a no win situation where they're checkmated.

double post for some reason.

I'm curious what is this Bring your own device program? As for the device itself. The main question is what are you using it for? Papers, email, web browsing? Graphic design? Coding? Each use is going to mean a slightly different system is better or worse per dollar spent. For example a system that just needs to do some basic web browsing and word processing, means that you can pretty much go with anything including a bargain laptop. If you are doing something with more graphic intensity, you might want to steer away from systems that have a intel HD video integrated gpu and get something with a real gpu like an nvidia XXXm product. (X's are place holders for the real numbers in this case). For coding my personal opinion is that you might want to get something with a larger HDD so that you can dual boot a couple different operating systems. As for how the keyboard feels, I like my ASUS, but it's a RoG system that probably is way more than what you need or want.

Mob them and hold them down. Unless they steel push and run away they'll go down. You'd probably need a mob though, because you need to essentially bury them underneath a wave of humans till they're on the ground and their head gets cut off.

No those are her fighting off world hopping Fullborn Returned Koloss that trained in Dakhor.
