You'll return to a baseline level of wakefulness, which would be that "well-rested" state. Feruchemy doesn't really "hold back" stuff iirc. If you're well-rested and tap wakefulness to prolong that, when you stop tapping it wouldn't dip below normal levels, because that makes no sense considering what Feruchemy does. If you're already tired and store wakefulness only to tap it later to wake yourself up, after you stop you'd probably return to being tired, because being tired is the baseline state in that situation. Putting it in simple terms, If you're already at -5 wakefulness because you're pulling an all-nighter, storing 10 puts you at -15, tapping puts you at 5, when you run out you'd go back to -5, not 0, because feruchemy is net-neutral. You get out exactly what you put in.

Honestly, I'm torn between all of these, to a variable extent. Cadmium can also oxygenate your blood directly, allowing for effects similar to blood-doping, enabling a person to exert themselves for long periods. Duralumin seems incredibly useful in general because you can store and tap different kinds of Connections, Brass and Bronze have a lot of utility in everyday life. Also, I should probably mention, Bendalloy won't give you energy, it can supply nutrition and fluids but doesn't affect your stamina, iirc. It's just kind of like...eating and drinking, without needing to do that.

That seems pretty likely, since the bindpoints line up and Kelsier's not really a typical user of Hemalurgy. IIRC, Kelsier's basically a cognitive shadow stapled to his own bones and what's probably a mistwraith for the fleshy bits. He didn't really take anything from anyone, cognitive shadows are investiture, he just had someone use hemalurgy to steal him and plug him into a body, which is...wild.

IIRC it can also be used for an effect similar to blood-doping, delivering a large amount of oxygen into the body to enhance your stamina. It seems like it doesn't store air, just the stuff people can breathe safely (oxygen), with the expected effects a large amount of oxygen would have when tapped. If it just stored what you're breathing in regardless, you could tap it and get smoke or other particulates in your bloodstream, which sounds horrific.

So, steelsight/ironsight can be used to substitute for lost vision, such as with the Inquisitors and Kelsier, and we see that the divide between what constitutes individual objects as valid for steelpushing/ironpulling is somewhat psychological (judging by Wax's ability to split a bullet into the projectile, casing, and primer at the back, then only push on one of those, as well as Marsh and Kelsier both being skilled enough with iron and steel to push and pull on different parts of a single object). What I'm wondering is, is the sight granted by those metals actually connected to a person's vision, and if so, would being colorblind or blind affect that? Could a blind Coinshot/Lurcher use a similar way of sensing their surroundings to an Inquisitor to substitute for sight? If not, would steelsight manifest differently for someone who is blind, due to the fact that it typically manifests as colored lines, something that a blind person would be unable to perceive (or even lack context for entirely, depending on if they were blind from birth or lost their sight later in life)?

Midnight Aether and The Sorceress of The Midnight Sea
Shadeshadow227 replied to Shadeshadow227's topic in Cosmere Discussion
I didn't consider that, but I really should have, especially since I finished TLM only a few hours before asking about this. I feel a bit stupid, lol.- 5 replies

So, when I read how Midnight Aether works, the Luhel bond that is formed, and how that requires water from the person maintaining the bond...I admittedly didn't make the connection immediately, but after finishing TLM, getting to the Ars Arcanum, and remembering what Bendalloy does Feruchemically, I thought of something. How The Sorceress got so much Midnight Essence on her side...that has to be something related to Bendalloy, infinite reserves of water through compounding or something similar (because Bendalloy can, according to the text, store fluids as well as nutrients from normal food), right? What I'm wondering is how she waa able to even do that, since she's an Elantrian. An unsealed bendalloymind could give her the feruchemy, but compounding needs Allomancy, and I doubt that she's spiked or a mistborn. Is there something I'm not considering here, could she hack it with Aons somehow, ???

Honestly, a lot of what he derived seemed like it could be obtained from some advanced logical deductions based on the information the group had access to and what Wayne could pick up from what he saw. Personally, how I saw Wayne's skill with accents and disguises was kinda like...he notices bits of people, commonalities and traits, learns about them, and files them away for later use. Every accent, everyone, is a blend of things, dashes of different places and roles and experiences all adding up together into a person, and he had enough to go on from Tobol from the information given that he was able to form a pretty good picture of what he could have done. And I like it that way, tbh. Not everything is magical, people can just be really good at things sometimes, and for Wayne that was people. Explains why he got on so well with some of the kandra, and adds something special to his character.

Nightwatcher Boon/Bane (Game)

Granted. It takes it's extra mass from the people who eat it, transmuting that into pie to regenerate. I wish for the world's most glorious moustache and goatee. -

Granted. All sandwiches you make from the point where you recieve the sandwich onwards...will be mildly frozen. I wish for a phone that never loses reception and always maintains a full battery. -

Granted. However, she writes the answers in the form of glyphs, which your teachers are unable to read. I wish for Pewter allomancy and Gold feruchemy. -
Nightwatcher Boon/Bane (Game)

Granted. You materialize inside of a wall on Scadrial. I wish to be able to safely travel to each and every cosmerically-relevant world. -
Nightwatcher Boon/Bane (Game)
Shadeshadow227 replied to killersquirrel59's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
Granted. Each time you want to access one, you must swallow one of the ten gemstones that can hold Stormlight, one for each specific Surge, and there's initially no way to tell which type of gem gives which Surge, as the colors do not match up (Sapphire isn't Gravitation, etc.) to the orders/surges associated with them. I wish for a copy of TLM. -

Granted. Ruin is now after your head for breaking one of the things that fall under his sphere of influence. I wish for a Vin plushie, with glass knives included. -
...Eshonai probably won't do something like that, as, last I checked, she was suffering from a rather debilitating ailment. Namely, being dead from drowning in stormwater.

Granted. He can write faster, but the books aren't released faster than they normally would. I wish we all knew what Voidbinding could do. -

Shadeshadow227 replied to killersquirrel59's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
Granted. Your Honorspren is corrupted, leaving you with Surgebinding Adhesion and Voidbinding Gravitation, without any sources of Voidlight in the world. I wish TLM would be released soon, and that it would be an amazing read. -

Shadeshadow227 replied to killersquirrel59's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
Granted. You can convert Fortune to Wakefulness, but cannot reverse that conversion, or perform any other kind of magic. Enjoy being unlucky. I wish that Brandon would release a new series involving the shard Ingenuity in it's magic system, and that it would be an amazing read. -
Nightwatcher Boon/Bane (Game)
Shadeshadow227 replied to killersquirrel59's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
Granted. You unconsciously absorb the luck around you, on a massive, planetary scale, and are hunted as a result of your world-destroying levels of power. Hopefully you learn to worldhop before a moon slams into your planet, or Odium comes around or something equally improbable happens that ends in your demise. I wish for infinite lemon cake. -
I've noticed that the Thrill that people feel in battle on Roshar seems similar to Rioting a person's emotions, and there are some similarities between Rioting and Nightblood's compulsions on those who are "good" or "evil", as well as what happens to Marsh (and presumably all Inquisitors) when Ruin assumes direct control over him. Of course, to properly replicate those effects, someone would first have to feel them, but they're relatively harmless, so it shouldn't be too difficult. So, assuming some worldhopping Rioter has experienced both the Thrill and Nightblood's compulsions, would it be feasible for them to replicate them in some form?

Granted. The cash cannot be removed from the wallet, or it will disappear from wherever it is and end up back inside the wallet before you can spend any of it. I wish for Taravangian's boon of enhanced intellect, without his bane of stupidity. -
Nightwatcher Boon/Bane (Game)
Shadeshadow227 replied to killersquirrel59's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
Granted. You completely lose your senses of taste and smell, rendering you unable to taste your cooking, or food in general. I wish for a Type IV Awakened entity, in the form of an automaton, with the command "Obey me". -
Corrupted Spren, actually.

Granted. However, you lose all ability to voluntarily move your body, meaning your sidekick has to help you with everything. I wish I knew what Voidbinding Illumination does, for Renarin. -
The lack of singing in Scadrial, what's up with that?
Shadeshadow227 replied to Messydesk's topic in Mistborn
Not a singer, a musician, I think. Probably a drummer, considering how Spook notes the consistent and skillful beat Durn taps out.
