Phantom Monstrosity

You know, the southern continent thing and analogy to different Dor use... kinda makes me want to create a whole new system using different metals... Hmm.

You mean Rashek has more followers, right?

Isn't there already a deleted scenes section for several books on the website? Don't see any reason why SA would be different in that respect.

Not sure I like this - there are mentions that the large size of a shardblade is awkward, and I feel like they'd gradually get easier to handle if they were really going off the users' ideal conception.

They only started worshipping him after he was dead though. So he had to have stuck around for another reason beforehand.

I can understand that, yeah. I was intially only thinking of the 'my kids are really into sonic the hedgehog now' type conversations.

I think there are multiple forms of manifestation possible. Wells and pools might be seperate things. http://www.theoryland.com/intvmain.php?i=727

I'm pretty sure it's seperate from the pits of hathsin.

Can you put this up on google docs?

I'm not sure flaring is the same for all metals, though.

No full feruchemists that we know of. Apparently interbreeding with mistings messes up the expression of feruchemical spiritual genetics, so you only get ferrings instead.

No mistborns are around because the bloodlines are now too thin.

Okay, well in that case we can say that normal aluminum use doesn't drain spikes.

Did vin have her earring in when the inquisitors forcefed her some aluminum?

I'd assume the same thing that happens if a misting dies.

Yep. According to Soru on the Something Awful Forums

Have you considered putting them on bittorrent?

There are several ways to use ironpulling that we don't see. For example, you could use ironpulling combined with a sling to get a lead bullet up to ridiculous speeds, and use your allomancy to help time the release precisely. Needs more skill than just shooting coins, but slings IRL get ranges of almost half a kilometer. You could probably shoot with more force than your average coinshot The idea is you can't wear full plate of the required thickness - it's too heavy. But if you just wear a single chest plate that's four inches of solid steel, that's entirely possible to carry.

PS: speaking of apostrophes, you've got an extra one in you sig's "mind's".

I think it's more the issues with feeding their population. The mists weren't the direct cause.

Don't do it, man. Do you have ANY IDEA how many keepers have been caught in that infinite loop?

If you haven't read this interview, you probably should. It's got some good stuff. EDIT: Derp, forgot it had spoilers for way of kings.

Senescents? Centers?

Question: What's up with the rule of 16 for mistings when there are more than sixteen metals? Answer: Preservation was screwing with the system to make a point. He left out a few metals and only snapped 16 because 16 is a mystically significant number. The ones that weren't snapped include mistings of nicrosil, chromium, and the fifteen atium alloys beside malatium. They weren't 'replaced' in the magic system - preservation just didn't snap them.
