These claims are disproven by the mere existence of the Bands. They prove a combination of Feruchemy and Allomancy can make anyone as strong as TLR. And then you have Brandon's own statement saying that Compounding can be used to increase the strength of Allomancy. Wax was powerful enough while holding the Bandsto Push the trace metals in stone hard enough to smash stone walls and casually Pushed a boulder off of himself. The only Steelpushing seen in the entire series of comparable power was when Vin was being fueled by the Mists in HoA Also, 2-3 times better in every Feruchemical attribute? That's a ludicrous statement. Miles who could only Compound Gold was worlds more effective as a Bloodmaker than Wayne ever was. And that's not even counting the ways you can synergize various Feruchemical traits which is improved by having little to no worry about rationing Metalmind stores. As for why TLR didn't go as fast as Marasi did? Why would he? That would be like draining enough health to survive an explosion to heal a papercut. Kind of pointless

I'm only just jumping in to this conversation, but here are my thoughts. I love how Gavilar actually ended up being presented in the prologue. This presentation of Dalinar in book one is meant to lull readers into a false sense of what his character is like, meant to be chipped down over the course of the other books. Personally, I think it's a fantastic twist to his character that he merely was full of himself and not the genius he presents himself to be. It's completely in line with the other false beliefs that others had of him that were in contradiction to his real character I hard disagree with this. In Way of Kings and Words of Radiance we get hints of his true personality through character comments, most notably Navani when she's trying to seduce Dalinar that Gavilar wasn't as good as people remember. We really start seeing this in Oathbringer, he is condescending in his praise of Dalinar in flashbacks, showing his view that he considers Dalinar a fantastic tool but nothing more. He's condescending with Eshonai in the prologue, believing that he knows better than her and her people in regards to bringing their gods back. Frankly Rhythm of War prologue as far as I'm concerned showed how awful of a person he was. His abuse of Navani, his desire to force Jasnah to marry Amaram, and his dismissal of Elhokar. It's blatantly obvious by then that Gavilar is an egotistical asshole at best. All this newest prologue really showed in regards to his character is that he isn't the genius everyone assumed him to be, but was just a pompous man who while somewhat more clever than others, was not as clever as he and everyone else believed him to be. And it showed the depths of just how conceited and self righteous he truly is.

Store weight when trying to exercise. Especially useful if you have a lot of fat. You can build up your body's tolerance for aerobic activities without the burden of your own weight. That's one of the biggest challenges to getting overweight people to start exercising is their own dead weight legitimately makes exercising harder. Tap weight any time you need a little extra stability. Tapping smell for cooking Firesoul firefighters

No shame in that, not everyone has time to binge

I'm not entirely sure this is truly accurate though, The Lost Metal spoiler information

The Metallic Arts are by far the most Investiture efficient magic system. Compare a Surgebinder to an Allomancer. A sack of infused gems will be used up by the Surgebinder in an hour or two. A same sized sack of Pewter though could easily last an Allomancer a day of flairing based on what we see in TFE. Additionally, Copper is one of, if not the least Investiture intensive metal in Allomancy. Kelsier burning it became immune to Rashek's Soothing, which is a middling Investiture intensive metal as Brandon put it, and from the strongest Allomancer ever. Sure Vin could still feel it through her Copper, but she was Spiked and thus likely had a vulnerability to emotional Allomancy that others wouldn't have. I'm sure if Rashek really tried he could break through any Coppercloud, but they did seem to be immune to his general Soothing which was at least an order of magnitude stronger than any other Allomancer

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's just a retcon. I'm just trying to justify it in the context of the story

Here you go. My guess is that metal poisoning is known about, but because Allomancers generally burn off their metals they never experienced it and people just assumed that Allomancers can get metal poisoning too if they didn't burn their metals. Zane slept with metals in his system and never got sick despite his concerns. My guess is they are only immune to metals they can burn

So the thing is, Ruin wasn't changing the content in the Metalmind, but was altering it as it was being stored/tapped

According to Brandon, Allomncers have resistance to metal poisoning

Additionally, Kaladin pushed himself up during this scene. Shallan only acted as a slight addition making it easier for Kaladin. Not really any different than any other circumstance where someone helps another pull themselves up from a ledge. Considering that Stormlight more allows the body to exert itself to its maximum without the negatives, it's not really possible to store strength from Stormlight. It would likely mitigate the downsides of storing strength though

So the only concrete example of the difference in power we have between a Lerasium Mistborn and a regular Mistborn is controlling Kandra. Vin is above average in power for a Mistborn, and even with Duralumin she still had some difficulty breaking through and taking control. However, Lerasium Mistborn are described as powerful enough to do it without Lerasium. This seems to imply that a Lerasium Mistborn can come close to or match the power of Duralumin. I'd imagine that a Lerasium Mistborn would still have to flair their metals to match the power of Duralumin though. Also, Duralumin does make things more complicated as it isn't a set boost in power. Because Duralumin compresses all the metals in a person, the more power a Mistborn gets a stronger boost if they have more metals in their system. I'd imagine though, that as Vin had just her standard vials with most of her Duralumin boosts, that would be the safe default power assumption when comparing the two types of Mistborn strengths.

It's near the end of the timeline, around the time of Sixth of the Dusk

Also experience something like it's new again I ended up feeling the same way when I actually thought about it. I did struggle with Steel, Electrum, and Bendalloy but the other decisions came pretty easy

Because there have been so many polls, I thought this one would be fun. You have all 16 metals but only the Allomantic or Feruchemical power of each metal, which do you choose? My choices Tin - Feruchemy Pewter - Allomancy Iron - Feruchemy Steel - Allomancy Copper - Feruchemy Bronze - Feruchemy Zinc - Feruchemy Brass - Feruchemy Aluminum - Feruchemy Duralumin - Feruchemy Chromium - Feruchemy Nicrosil - Feruchemy Gold - Feruchemy Electrum - Feruchemy Cadmium - Feruchemy Bendalloy - Allomancy I'm mostly interested in the Feruchemy but a couple Allomantic powers would be useful very useful. As cool as speed would be, I think A-Steel would be more useful and have better utility. Bendalloy was hard, storing nutrition calories and hydration would be super useful, but I like the practical benefits of time compression a lot

I'd go with Misting Feruchemist. The day to day benefits of being a Feruchemist are just too good in my opinion. Normally I'm all for Compounding Gold, but in this case I would go for Steel. Steel Allomancy has such a good synergy with Feruchemical Iron and the enhanced speed would be very useful

Ah thank you

Oathbringer-Honorblade?

Considering they made the thread, I think that they can make the initial conditions. It's no different than when threads have compared a hundred thousand Rosharans vs a hundred thousand Scadrians with the amount of magic users proportionat to the amount their planet has. The way I see it, it's a question of who's technology, magic, and society could compete against Earth if things like population were not the deciding factor.

Admittedly that could be the reason he didn't heal. Though he did still have an enhanced physique in Teod, it might be a worthy thing to get clarification from Brandon.

If they do, then it isn't a particularly fast one. In Elantris after fixing AonDor near the climax both of Raoden's hands get too injured to draw Aons and they don't heal until Galladon shows up to heal him. So perhaps they can regenerate from anything, but not at an accelerated rate

It would depend on how prepared they might be. Elantrians have natural Pewter like physical enhancements. Additionally, they have enhanced mental prowess. If they have some Aons prepared like on their clothes or something, I could see them winning handily as an Elantrians strongest advantage is in preparation. However, Elantrians don't have regenerative powers like Radiants or Feruchemists do, so an unprepared Elantrian would potentially be at a pretty big disadvantage against a Mistborn with all metals

To further support this, when Wax is holding the Bands, he's able to see Axi and he can see Edwarn's soul

It does contradict though. There are two WoB at play in this discussion. One is about changing of density, this one had Sazed and Wax say two contradictory things about Iron changing density so that WoB clarified which of those two is correct. This is the one saying the Sazed was mistaken. The second WoB is the one contradicted by the books. That one said increasing mass doesn't transfer force in blows. This is directly contradicted in WoA and HoA. The HoA scene in particular could only make sense if increasing weight increased the force of the blow.

Based on what Khriss says, Navani is the first known person to actually discover it. We know this is wrong as Gavilar had access to it. The concept of Anti-Investiture has been at least theorized so I'd assume most Cosmere aware scholars from Silverlight would at least have been aware of the theory. But the knowledge to make it is probably very rare and kept secret so until RoW it was likely unknown to most
