So I just got back from the Seattle Book signing and I wanted to share the question that I asked Brandon. Q: Has Hemalurgy been used on another planet besides Scadrial? A: Yes it has. Brandon did not want to give out any more details about who was getting spiked or if the spiking was successful.

Hi guys. I was thinking about the use of aluminum in the Alloy of Law. Having pure aluminum bullets, gun barrels and other major gun parts like your bolt will cause a lot of reliability issues for that weapons system. Aluminum is a very soft metal and has a low melting point. That is bad news for the important parts of a firearm that move and generate a lot of heat. The Bolt and Barrel on guns is usually made of some alloy of steel. Also aluminum bullets will be relatively soft witch will make them deform on impact giving the low penetration on an armored target. A good suit of body armor would defeat the bullet leaving your enemy alive. I was thinking on how to get around these problems and I have an idea. Give any steel part on your gun an aluminum jacket. Also do the same for you Bullets have a steel core sounded by an aluminum jacket. I think this might be a way to get a reliable aluminum gun that wont stop working in the middle of an alamantic gun fight because your barrel melted. Thoughts.

Hi just found your site after browsing Brandon's main site. I had some thought's on Harmony and how he will need to maintain the balance between the two shards as time goes on. Ruin and Preservation started out balanced in the begging. Whatever Ruin and Preservation made had an equal amount of influence from those shards. So all of the creatures of Scadrial were equally of Ruin and Preservation. However when Ruin and Preservation made man Preservation wanted to add more of himself than Ruin did to give them sentience I believe. This action tipped the balance between the two shards insuring that Ruin would eventually be able to destroy the world. So to stop Ruin from destroying the world he Imprisoned Ruins mind in the well of Ascension. This action weakened Preservation to being no more than the mistspirt we see in the books. The lord Ruler then hid way part of Ruin's body at the pits of hathsin during his time at the well. Witch left Ruin and Vin matched in strength when she took Preservation's power. So here is my question. Will Sazed have to maintain the the pits of hathsin to maintain balance between his shards and if he doesn't will Ruin again win out over Preservation?
