Running away means losing the fight. And even Dor fueled Mistborn won't run away from Windrunners or possibly Edgedancers.

I've found the holy WoB to prove you're wrong! Invested metals are visible when burning Atium, Shardblades would leave a shadow!

I think there was a WoB about stealing attributes given by hemalurgy, but I can't find it. While you could steal steelsight, why would you do it when you can get steel Allomancy? Why? No. I doubt it would work like that. Because aluminum works like chromium, you would burn away your metalminds, while burning it. And if you tap Brass for lots of heat, burning aluminum would most likely just burn away all that attribute that you're getting from tapping Brass, so you would just return to normal temperature.

That's the event horizon, which isn't a physical object, but the effect of Gravity, so it isn't a surface. Well, black holes spin, point can't spin, so it's a ringularity! But who knows what's inside the event horizon. I love this explanation.

That sounds good. Especially the last paragraph which explains why Ruin is subservient to Preservation. However if his inability to act is purely because of his internal fears, it doesn't fit with what we know from WoBs and books. But this is still good theory.

I'm here to learn! Thank you, this is great. I'm still sometimes confused about compounding. Spike's compounding fueled by Ruin is a novelty for me. I think it would be the opposite. Atium is a clear example, as it burns the fastest from all metals. And using WoB found by @therunner, it's also about work done by metals:

Black holes are mathematically a point, and they contain a looot. Q: why people can't go there? B: it isn't a place. Does he have to confirm that they can't go there when he answers why they can't go there? If a question was wrong, Brandon would say "they can go there". This answer is a confirmation that people can't go there. That's how language works.

WoBs you are mentioning: But a Mistborn turned into a Lifeless won't have his Mistborn powers anymore. That's likely because a Lifeless doesn't have the identity and a spirit web that he used to have while being alive. His soul is replaced with a Breath and identity comes from it as well, and partially from a body. If Fullborn's metalminds were unsealed (medallions), they can access that as a Lifeless. If not, they can't per WoB above. Unkeyed means without identity, but still only a Feruchemist of that metal can use of. Unsealed is usable by anyone, that's Malwish medallion. So medallions are yes for a Lifeless, unkeyed no, because Lifeless is no longer a Feruchemist. That's a good question. I think it depends on how self-aware is a Lifeless and if he consider alcohol to be part of him or blood.

It's a geometric point. Hard to get but that's the easiest explanation. Creating a 0 dimensional map of 4 dimensional spacetime, now this is hard to imagine. Impossible. Is it singularity? But it isn't a map. So, have a nice brain meltdown And again, WoB literally says that you can't go to SR because it's not a place. SA spoilers (as we are in Mistborn forum)

10l of oil would do nothing. Most of it won't even get close to any squire, because of the bubble's deflection. And if you manage to splatter oil on one squire (the best you can do), then Radiant’s plate can quickly surround him, cut of oxygen, and extinguish fire instantly. Every piece of metal is an "improvised weapon" for a Mistborn, which was constantly used by them. It just doesn't make sense to give a Mistborn type of weapon that they never used in the whole series, but give nothing to Radiant in return. Even non-standard weapons, that were used by them, but change a lot, like Atium/primer cubes, are something we shouldn't just assume they have without giving Radiant something in return. Gun is a standard equipment of any Misting in era 2.

Because the Spiritual Realm is 0 dimensional, and we, humans, are 4 dimensional, and we need 4 dimensions to live. And as far as we know, nobody ever went through perpendicularity to SR. SR is not a place, so you can't go there. It's made up entirely out of investiture and connections, so you can't go there. It's like trying to put a house into a surface of a papar. Like how? It doesn't even make sense. So they don't touch your body. I don't think it would work like that, because you can't just look into CR, not to mention "feel" it. As far as we know, physical contact is required. It does, but I think not for us. Brandon wrote those scenes to be included in WoR but cut them out.

I think it was sometimes used in era 2 to refer to those who have any Feruchemical power, including Ferrings. Full Feruchemist was also used.

Show me 1 place in the books where Mistborn used oil as a weapon. Nowhere? So it's not a Mistborn’s weapon, not to mention a standard equipment. I can't see how fire would damage a Shardplate. How fire would "hurt" a spren? So how much oil does your Mistborn have? 100 liters? Where does he carry it so he can spray it all around? What prevents him from catching fire which would be deadly for him? Frictionless Radiant is far better in oily fire, as his skin doesn't have burnable oil on him. Or use the bubble to aim, but shoot only with the bubble dropped, like Wax is doing. Your liquid will also be deflected by the bubble, so it's as hard to aim as a bullet. Plasma is an ionized gas. You mean fluid dynamics, which is liquid and gas? Because Dor is described as plasma, I don't think the liquid, purify Dor, that was used in TLM, was the same that is in Sel's CR or is used by Elantrians. It still can leak from the body.

Right, that makes sense I should have seen. They were both Splintered but their powers were dragged into CR. Some Hoid letter:

So Elantrian's glow is investiture leaking out? Cool. Is the Dor that fueling them liquid? It's plasma in CR, but aren't they drawing it from SR?

That's good news. Well, by his words in SoS: It seems like he will be writing something separate from Brandon's main series. I've never read his books, but isn't he writing horrors? So Sleepless fits this very well, because the closest we got to a true horror are two scenes (Sleepless killing Skybreakers in Edgedancers, and Sleepless almost killing Rysn in Dawnshard), but please no spiders Or something about Dawnshard (and Sleepless to), as it reminds me about SP4, SP4 spoilers: Something about Roshar? Possibly, maybe the arrival of Sleepless, or the scorching of Aimia? Or the Lopen novel that we should get between WoK and WoR? However, because of SoS I doubt it is a known corner of Cosmere to us, so nothing to be found. I think you are spot on about Sleepless spiders. It's an unexplored corner of Cosmere, fitting Dan's writings, and away from the main story to make a good entry point for Dan's Cosmere novels. But why it has to be spiders??

You can't just go into SR. Everything exists in the Spiritual Realm already, because SR contains Investiture and Connections. What people use to get more into SR is either Fortune or Connection. But people don't go there. Only Shards can exist there, because they are bound by different rules. For Cognitive Realm, I think you would have to have metalminds with you physically there to be able to tap and use them. SA spoilers Here: Probably just Mists. Some other unkeyed forms of Investiture as well.

@IlstrawberrySeed Why would Mistborn have an acid with them? We already assumed they have standard equipment, as if you give a Mistborn an primar cubes, then why not Fabrials for Radiants. If you want to give a Mistborn an acid, why not give to Windrunners an attractor fabrials that will draw it in and absorb, nullifying your acid. You give something extra to one side, you have to give something to the other. And acid wouldn't be a "wonder weapon" against a Radiant. 2 orders can soulcast it away, 2 other orders can use division on it, 2 can become frictionless, 2 have better healing, and 2 more have reverse lashing, which works on liquids. And there is a plate, which stops acid and can be moved between different squires. Then acid can be easily healed. Not only does acid take time to do damage to the tissue, healing would heal the body, and push acid out of your insides. Not an ideal weapon. Aluminum is better. I don't think there was any mention of anybody using liquid Dor and leaking it. So for now I would say it doesn't leak. Stormlight leaks because it is a gas, and your body has a lot of pores in them, your skin also breaths, liquid has much harder time leaking, as it's much denser. At best with sweat.

Feruchemist and Feruchemy and Allomancer and Allomancy, and Ferrings and Mistings, are always capitalized in books because they are names. This is the rule of English. We are just lazy and write them with small letters. Feruchemist means somebody with all Feruchemical powers, while Ferring is only with one. But again, we are just lazy on the forum and we use Feruchemist for someone with 1 power. But not books, not Brandon.

It's not just pewter, Vin is just stronger (more skilled) Mistborn than all others. Even Kel notice that she can steel push against his push almost as an equal, where normally, as much lighter than him, she should be pushed away. She is more skilled Mistborn, as Allomancy was instinctive for her. Sazed thinks she had to draw a little from Mists when she was a kid. HoA Epigraphs, Epilogue So he should get even more, as burning pewter makes you 2x stronger, but you your're already 1.5x stronger thatn regular person, then with pewter Tarson should be like 3x stronger by just burning pewter.

Because that's The Hero of Ages Annotations, the existence of Ferrings was unknown to us back then, and Brandon is using the term "Feruchemist" which means having all Feruchemical powers, and is referring to Synod and Feruchemists that were part of it.

We're talking about pure Atium, not Atium-electrum alloy, that was used during era 1? What is an entire life for an Atium compounder? Like why is it even a choice? You can be either all powerful Mistborn by just doing one step, or average Mistborn by doing 16 steps. That's not a choice. If it was the other way around, small Lerasium bead, making you Kelsier level Mistborn vs 1 Lerasium Alloy of your choice making you Elend level Misting, then that would be a good choice to make. I am always going for Lerasium bead. Living for 1000 years is overrated.

No, he is clearly talking about a full Feruchemist, as Sazed struggled with the idea that he is the last Feruchemist alive. Ferrings are the effect of Feruchemical genes mixing with Allomantic genes, and breaking apart.

And immediately turned against Radiants which suggest that any shame he might have felt for his actions would be unlikely to wage on his decision to not wear a plate. Even during times when he was killing Radiants, including "capable" Lift, he still didn't wear a plate.

Once again the same WoB, Dalinar's perpendicularity is unlikely to provide enough investiture for creation of a god metal associated with Shard's perpendicularity
