That would kind of be like their own pseudo-steel bubble.  

But for everything.

If you had a Slider friend who also wanted to be a savant, you could both put up your bubbles, which would mostly cancel out.  They you could both burn/flare your metals nonstop.  It would be very expensive, given the cost of Bendalloy.  

A bendalloy burner and a cadmium burner standing in the same place could potentially nullify some long-term drawbacks of the process of becoming a savant, like having to be in a bubble to feel normal, and the aging.

Another thing, if the fast bubble only cancels out the slow bubble where they overlap, then you could have a cadmium "ring" around you where everything that gets close is slowed down. This could be a cool move for Marasi and Wayne fighting together.

That seems unlikely since Brandon wants there to be negative consequences for Savantism. I think it's more likely that it would mess with the perception of an objects speed.

I was thinking more along those lines too.

This has been my theory for a while now

humans find the dawnshards, use them to kill Rayse

Moash takes up Odium

Kaladin takes up Honor

They both kill each other

Shallan takes up both, becomes Sarcasm

end of Cosmere

Best possible ending.

Maybe Moash could even become Honor plus Odium.

Overlapping bendalloy and cadmium bubbles negate each other. 

The issue is that cadmium bubbles at the same strength are larger than bendalloy bubbles, you wouldn't have a total null, you'd have a ring of slow around normal time. 

Could you possibly change the size of your cadmium bubble to match the bendalloy one?

Just had a thought: a cadmium savant, while not burning would probably feel that the world was moving too slowly around them and a bendalloy savant would feel that it was moving too quickly.

Does just burning cadmium/bendalloy place the speed bubble on you automatically?

Depending on what era we're talking (and availability of Cadmium), I'd probably burn a lot of it to Hoid out and rejoin society at a more interesting point: once it was space-faring .  Then I could do some world hopping the long way (long for anyone outside of my bubble anyway) without having to pack much oxygen or food.  The allomantic equivalent of cryo-sleep.

I could see this as a future use for South Scadrian technology.

Double Cadmium would be cool.  I'd move to, or found, the Scadrial version of Atlantis.

Yeah but you would be slower than everyone else who isn't burning cadmium to breathe.

Edit: Just realized you can probably burn cadmium without using it allomantically.

I thought there was a possibility to create 16 new allomantic metals with atium. I would assume that someone burning those metals would use power from ruin. So in that case allomancy could be a magic of both shards.

I can't pick so I'll say my top three  choices:

1. Steel-because superspeed

2. Bendalloy-mostly slowing down time

3. Gold-the healing

I'd bet that spikes are too invested to be quickly burned away with the aluminum.

Does burning aluminum count as burning your other metals though?

Unfortunately, the metal burned has to be inside the body. A cut, and a touch aren't enough. 

 

Could this mean that an inquisitor would die from burning aluminum?

Thanks. I figured there was an explanation.

Something that I've wondered about since reading Hero of Ages: who did Rashek turn into Mistborn after taking the power at the Well of Ascension? In the stories from his religion it says that they were his friends and companions, but as we know they are actually the first generation of kandra. So if they weren't his friends who were they to him?(If the answer is known I apologise for wasting your time with this post.)

Hi, thanks for the welcome. My favorite character is Kaladin. I've read most of the cosmere as well as the Reckoners and the Rithmatist.

I'd say my favorite series is stormlight archive and my favorite book is oathbringer.

I got interested in Brandon Sanderson's books relatively recently and I'm glad I found this site if I have a question.
