Oversleep

I have only found this:

We can cover the tungsten with hemalurgically viable metal. Obviously the next target would be a star. Then we will move on to star systems, then to galaxies...

It stems from my read through all available Hemalurgy WoBs back in October. Although I cannot recall whether it was a WoB or that there was some discussion involving spiking planets. Actually it wasn't me who asked that question - I just did all the important follow ups

The pupils thing is for the lenses, I think. And the arms get fixed later anyway I mean, if they don't fit you won't usually feel it until after wearing the glasses for some time. At least that's my experience

Adventure Time. Haven't watched it although I have it on good authority that it's good. Yeah, but if I understood @Left properly, he doesn't want glasses because of eye defect but for fashion, so it doesn't matter really.

If you want to kill a planet, I think Hemalurgy will do - just fire a really long spike from the orbit at such an angle so that it comes out, ripping off the Spiritweb. Repeat if necessary.

It has? All I recall is this: Given their interaction, is not surprising Kelsier would have a beef with Hoid but there is not much to imply that Hoid does hate Kelsier.

Actually I had such idea of various people trapped in a moment. It had that surreal feel to it because everyday stuff became bizarre and unnatural (like there was a man who fell out of the window and they could go and look at him suspended in the air, surrounded by shimmering, broken glass. It was like a statue to them).

Black card: "You can't kill an idea" said Kelsier. "I am _" WHY THERE IS NO WHITE CARD THAT READS "bulletproof"?

I'm not sure that's a good idea...? I mean, I pick glasses physically, trying them out and stuff and even then sometimes I have to make adjustments. Although for me glasses are something very important as I wear them all the time. But then I also don't understand how can you buy clothes online.

Sazed talks about pewter spikes in HoA epigraphs. Then we've got it backed by WoB.

Meh, most of what is there is based off MAG which is not really a good source for that stuff. They assume gold spikes stole Feruchemical gold and we know that pewter spikes stole Feruchemical gold. The issue of Hemalurgy in MAG was brought up with Peter but he said he'll look into it and never got back to us :<

That's a great thread I can cannibalize use for my thread about Inquisitor builds. Although it's wrong since Marsh started with eleven spikes...

... and you're only discovering it now? You must be foruming wrong Anyway, that's a great Word of Inkthinker, do you perhaps have a source for that?

Yet you can make more fires by lightning it from a previously existing fire. Yet running is only forbidden at night. Yet killing another is perfectly fine unless blood flows out - and that's not something I claim to understand since blood flowing out into a closed bag over head was still fine for some reason.

Siri did not notice Treledees to have (at least) First Heightening until she thought he is reading her emotions too easily. Then she had to pay attention to the things nearby (grass IIRC) and saw its colors to be more saturated near him which confirmed that he has Breaths. And she's from a world where there is Breath and she knew about auras and Heightenings.

@hwiles there's a fault in your logic: Because that's not what Compounding is. It's not being able to store attribute without losing attribute (although that's something you can do by using Compounding). Compounding is burning a metalmind which causes a significant increase of the corresponding attribute (as if you overtapped a metalmind). Example: burning a brassmind makes you really warm. Now, we can use that to fill more brassminds. If burning brassmind makes you exceptionally warm, then you have so much more heat you can store in another brassmind. Iterate Compounding on increasingly big metalminds and you end up with a lot of the attribute. Which means that first you store a memory in coppermind (losing it in the process)... and then we don't know what happens if you overtap copper. One theory is that burning coppermind multiplies the memory (which you'll get at once and you could store in another metalmind which would allow you to both have the memory in you head and in coppermind and have them functionally infinite). Another theory is that would strenghten the memory - you'd need to learn to store at various strenghts (which is possible) and then you'd still could do the same trick but by splitting strong memories into multiple normal level strength ones.

Coincindently, the biggest Polish con announced that Orson Scott Card will be a guest in 2018. Cremstorm is blowing up.

Sources? ...except Inquisitors (and Vin) could pierce copperclouds by default without much training, while Elend who was a Lerasium Mistborn could not (although he could learn to pierce copperclouds of weaker Allomancers). So yeah, they were. I'm not sure whether it's from the books or WoBs but back then there were Mistings - regular Soothers/Rioters could take control of kandra. Unless you have a source for that. Then please point out where my reasoning behind the usual 9-11 spikes is wrong. This. Also, let's see what the body of the Inquisitor from the beginning of HoA can tell us: 10 spikes total. Three steel spikes (two eyes and one through shoulders). Six between ribs, two steel and four bronze. Pewter spike in the heart. That adds up to 5 steel spikes and 4 bronze spikes which means 5 Allomantic Physical powers and 4 Allomantic Mental powers. Pewter spike gives Feruchemical physical powers and he displayed Feruchemical speed so that's accounted for. He probably was a Misting to begin with, so that would be another power to add. Of course, that's when Ruin was free but seeing as that Inquisitor had just 10 spikes I'd say that probably all were his original, pre-Ruin spikes. (I think most of the spikes Ruin made went into Marsh seeing as he had over 20 and he started with 11) Anyway, that Inquisitor displayed Allomantic pewter, Allomantic steel and Allomantic iron; as Inquisitor he probably had double bronze; he didn't have aluminum spike so he couldn't burn duralumin so he had to have double Soothing or Rioting (I doubt one spike would be sufficient to kontrol koloss). That accounts for three of the steel spikes and all four bronze spikes which leaves us with four more powers (his own + three more steel spikes). Which means he either had Allomantic tin and doubled two powers of the physical quadrant or doubled all three. And still leaves us with question what his original Allomantic ability was.

I think I recognized a JK flip-flop. And an integrated circuit. I never expected to make use of that knowledge.

It basically works like... like pewter only enhanced flesh and he can sustain duralumin-level burn. Does it make sense? His power is over the flesh and he uses it on himself to strenghten his muscles. So I imagine he can enhance his muscles mutliple times and that's what I mean by "strenght". Secondary power is strenghtening bones and provides regeneration when necessary. The handwave is that his strength depends on how much power is he channeling at given moment, so if there are some not-too-big inconsistences it will be chalked up to "he's pushing his power".

Four days, four exams, each worse than the previous, I barely get any sleep... And I've got to do two of these exams again next week since they probably didn't go good enough. First one was 50 questions in 40 minutes (some of them were multiple choice, some open, some included calculations), second one was 5 questions with 5 subquestions each, to pass you need to to every question at least 3/5. 45 minutes... Except 30 minutes into the exam it turned out that it's actually 35 minutes. Argh. Tomorrow is the fourth exam and I already have zero motivation and just want to curl up and die sleep.

Those programs you speak of are what the fantasy genre calls spells ;P Anyway, check this: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PowersAsPrograms

Actually, Brandon has commented on that essay and stuff he said earlier. Dig up this thread: highlight:

Since most of them link to his essay on Dumbledore but clearly has not read it, throw them that: And don't forget to mention that "marriage" as it is, is a religious ceremony. My thoughts: Well, religion usually has rules and stuff and yet they're still surprised when the Church says and does the things it does; well, what did you expect? It's like being upset at the hunter organization for not claiming meat is murder. Their core values are centered about hunting and killing animals, what did you expect?
