We see Kaladin use the Reverse Lash to rip off the Pursuer's head after he reaches the fourth ideal in Rhythm of War.

Is this something he could've done before the fourth ideal, if he had practiced the Reverse Lash more? He starts using the ability in creative ways due to lacking the ability to use the Basic Lash for most of Rhythm of War, and don't really see anyone use it besides Kaladin in the first book.

I thought surges don't become more powerful as you make oaths, you just gain access to new ones and your Shardblade/Shardplate, plus becoming a better "container" for Stormlight.

Well, Hoid also knows what a kazoo is, so maybe he's somehow been to Earth.

We will never understand that man.

Kazoos are a another one of those universal constants among cultures.

Paladins of different ideals (each with different powers) bond with physical incarnations of ideas in a setting that's like the bottom of the ocean if the water was drained and a giant magical storm took its place.

Maybe it's as simple as Regrowth being close to Cultivation in the way that Adhesion is to Honor.

Wax: Scott Eastwood, son of Clint Eastwood. The Man with No Name's son is the perfect ideal of Frontier justice.

Wayne: Tom Felton, famous for being Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies. As he's gotten older, he's lost his "little jerk" look, and I think he's got the right height and build to play Wayne.

I find this unlikely. It could be possible with compounders, but Feruchemy only puts out what you get in. Therefore, you would have cells multiply slower while storing and faster while tapping, and it would balance out.

That balance is only maintained when you are a regular Gold Ferring. A Gold Compounder is pulling out more cell division and Immune system strength than they put in, especially if they constantly tapped Gold like Miles did.

Think of dangly earrings. He's not pushing on studs. He's pushing in pieces that aren't piercing anything. 

I thought of that, but could you push on hoops, which are one large solid ring?

I recently reread the Bands of Mourning, and just thought of a passage, where Wax is pushing on all the metal within the mansion where the party took place. Sterring mentions that all the nearby women's earrings are being pushed on by Wax's Steel bubble.

How is Wax pushing on metal that's pierced through someone's skin? I thought aside from Duralumin/Nicrosil boosts or using the Mists themselves, it was basically impossible?

Well, we know that there aren't any more beads, right?

Lord Ruler had one that he assumedly didn't eat since he recreated himself using the Well of Ascension to become a Fullborn (he might've been using it for Feruchemy).

I was thinking, maybe Kelsier spiked himself into a full Feruchemist with a Copper spike, transferring his mind into the Feruchemist. Then he used his force of personality to basically hijack the body, then ate a bead of Lerasium to give him the full set of powers.

The Mistborn Adventure name for them is Ringer, though non-canon.

Miles had been using gold for years, and was not aging any faster than normal. 

It wouldn't be visual aging; most changes to appearance as you get older are caused by sun damage, and gravity's cruel pull on your body to make it sag. He'd likely die from old age while still looking like your average 50 year old.

I'd like to think that constant use of gold accelerates cell death, as cells can only divide so many times. By making cells constantly multiply, you shorten your lifespan.

Probably, but whoever got the spike afterwards would likely be deformed by the corrupting nature of Hemalurgy.

I got Nicroburst, which is meh considering they can only let other people do cool things.

Iron twinborn will probably fly in some way (probably in a Thor-like way) but your method will not work. An Iron Ferring could store 100% of his weight but also if the Ferring goes weightless, his gear still weight...So his gun, cloth and metalmind still make him too weight to fly following a bullet

The obvious answer is then to use a light as possible gun and heavy as possible ammo while flying au naturel.

After re-reading Shadows of Self, I got to the rope hook part of Wax trying to find Bleeder and got to thinking, besides the usual use of compounding to make near unlimited amounts of weight, couldn't an Iron twinborn compounder shoot a bullet and then ironpull at the bullet in flight with their weight as low as possible for super fast travel? I know there's a maximum limit to storing weight, but Wax always implies he can go fully weightless in the books, though it might be a hyperbole.

Specifically, since they're so similar could they be used by each others magical systems without using magical hacks?
