I personally think that it has something to do with Connection. The metalminds have an identity aspect which codes who can use them, but I believe that they also have a connection to users of the specific power, such as Bloodmakers with Gold, in general. Storing this connection, using Duralumin, while storing an attribute allows anyone to use the metalmind in question, although it is still locked off by the previously mentioned identity aspect until that is removed via Aluminum. There may be holes in this hypothesis, and we won't know until later WoBs or later books reveal what exactly the process Southerners use to unseal metalminds is. Just my two clips on the matter of metalmnds.

You aren't offending anyone. Neuroatypical behavior is just what it sounds like, a different way of thinking, and thus acting, involving different thought processes and logic than other people. Nothing more. Things like Aspergers, to me, are like having a different eye or hair color than most people. While it may seem strange to other people, it is normal for the person who has it, and really isn't a big deal at all. Yet people think it is, for some extremely strange reason.

Um...why would a people who lived where the sea BOILED during Era 1 need artificial heating?

It said that SOME Terris people were dark-skinned. Not most. SOME. There's a difference between the two measurements.

Hmm...pretty nice. Upvote for you, Tharatariel.

Era 1, I'd probably choose Allomancy. Era 2, I'm gonna cheat and be a Twinborn. Double Steel FTW!!! Earth...same thing as Era 2.

No, he couldn't have. He was already dead when he gained the knowledge, so he couldn't have used it. By the time he came back as the Sovereign, TLR was already dead.

...I think everyone misinterpreted the question. Note the "would be" part. This is asking what Silver would do if there were Silver Mistings, not Silver's actual nonexistent relation with allomancy. So it's meant for fun speculation. Perhaps it'd be a kind of Spatial metal, a compliment to the Temporal metals. Silver would be, being a pure metal, a Pulling metal. If it is external, then a "Collapser" Misting could burn it to essentially fold space, decreasing the distance between objects. Of course, since the folded space is still there, just folded like a piece of paper, any objects inside the fold would be unharmed. It's alloy, possibly Goloid, would expand space between objects.

Really? Where did you read that?

Really? I thought Hoid's purpose was both to show that the books are connected...and to provide a million tons of comedic comments.

...OH MY GOD...HE IS!!!

Storm Trek...BRANDON! For Era 4, USE THIS IDEA.

I've got an Idea. For energy production, a piece of metal, like a giant crank, could be hooked up to a turbine, and some Coinshots or Lurchers would be positioned on both sides of the crank, Pushing or Pulling on it to provide power. The Allomancer makes some extra cash from their effort, and power is created which then goes to electronic devices. Also, Brass metalminds could be used to fight fires. How? Storing enough heat would draw flames to you, as heat goes from high concentrations to low, and the heat would be absorbed and stored as it enters your body, putting out fire and simultaneously giving a large amount of heat to draw on. And Copperminds could possibly help treat amnesia.

We have reached new levels of nerd. I, for one, am happy that there is an oasis of geek in this scholarly place.

Hmm...well, I hate the taste of coffee, and energy drinks don't seem to affect me much...I thought bronzeminds would be better. It's not that ingenious. Just something I'd prefer to the alternatives. ... YES. BRANDON, GET ON THIS! ...Duralumin? Why would that be used? Unless they were somehow tapping a metalmind inside of someone with one of these medallions, it'd be useless in checking for internal metalminds. ...hmm...now that we're on the topic of school...any kind of sports club would have to check for the physical metals (both Allomantic and Feruchemical) because they would provide an advantage in most events. Steelminds or allomantic pewter for track; ironminds for gymnastics; Allomantic Iron/Steel for almost any kind of sport; Pewter, whether Allomantic or Feruchemical, for wrestling, and Tin could be used for a wide variety of things. Same with academically geared clubs and Mental Feruchemy.

I know. This is truly amazing, isn't it? Things like this are what keep me on this site in the first place. People theorizing, taking these fantasy worlds and asking questions about the smallest things. Amazing.

...oh. Well, a bit of training in a padded suit could help with speed regulation. I was thinking. Feruchemical Bronze would be very useful for when you need to get something done late at night. Small Bronzemind medallions as some kind of "energy booster", kinda like energy drinks? That'd be extremely useful when dealing with sleep deprivation.

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't. Wayne was able to tap an unkeyed goldmind with no issues. ...I am pretty sure than no one has thought of this, but something like a Steel/Iron medallion harness thing would be pretty useful for amputees or cripples. They could just pull and push themselves around, and pull objects towards them.

I think something like 3D Maneuver Gear for Coinshots or Lurchers would be awesome. The Lurcher ones would fire the grapple part without a tether, and something like spike launcher things could be added to boost the speed of Coinshots (The tethers pull forwards while a continuous Push directed towards the spikes behind pushes you forwards even more.) I think that'd be very useful. And for those who don't know what that is, this is what it looks like, although my design has them without the gigantic compartment for swords.

...you misspelled brakes.

Oh. Forgot about that.

Thanks. I can sense that this topic will soon be full of ideas just as brilliant, if not more, as mine. I didn't think of that. The thing with physical metals like Iron, steel, or even Pewter with Feruchemy is that the heavy metalminds get in the way. With Iron, they'd weigh you down, with steel they'd create drag, and with Pewter they'd constrain your bulk, as Pewter Feruchemy stores muscle mass, meaning that you increase in size when you tap a significant amount...and your metalminds would either burst or cut off circulation. One of those is bad because you would lose your strength, the other is bad because you could seriously hurt or even kill yourself after a while. Stretchy suit for Brutes, anyone?

I want to see Cyborgs in Mistborn now. This isn't related to technology, but, couldn't a Bloodmaker with enough Health make a living out of organ donation? They remove, as an example, a kidney or the liver, for transplant, and a Bloodmaker just grows it back afterwards, getting paid for the organ. They could do this with things like blood for transfusions too. Also, cadmiummind oxygen units for divers and swimmers.

I just had an idea. A suit, for Skimmers, which has threads of iron woven in. Kinda like one of those gliding suits, but less gliding, and more being completely weightless. Instead of having heavy bracers, you could just wear one of these and be able to better take advantage of your weight manipulation. I can just imagine having one of these...I go to the top of a building, swan dive off, store all my weight into the suit, and just float there, in midair. I think that'd be kinda fun.

AMAZING. Free upvote for you, man. Although, nicrosil would have to be used instead of Duralumin. No more Mistborn, remember?
