Ah, thanks for the clarification. Also can someone give me a link to the WoB place?

Why does the block have to be aluminium? Silver is allomanticly neutral and has a higher melting point and is cheaper in universe. Edit: More plentiful so possibly cheaper

So, the only way to kill a gold compounder is to: 1) Use cadmium to slow time allowing you to gang the compounder with shear numbers and hope he don't have dynamite. 2) Use two atium spikes ( or another metal like trellium or one of the temporal/hybrid metals that may be able to remove these attributes) to remove both attributes, very hard and only marsh has atium now. Even harder as the dual metal arrow/bullet wouldn't work due to bind points(if I'm getting those correct). 3) Possibly suffocation 4) Make them believe that the fatal injury you just inflicted is part of there true self altering their spirit web making it so they can't heal that injury. How one could do this is beyond me.

Could you use a poison to paralyze the compounder before taking their reserves, as far as I know it only seems to care about pyhsical injurys so would it burn the poison? Basically this is a different version of the slow time tact.

I can think of two other ways that might work: 1) any gun with aluminium hollow point bullets, can't heal around aluminium and hollow point maximizes the area the aluminium effects. 2) MOLTEN ALUMINIUM! The can't heal the burns and, if hot enough, melt their goldminds and instantly alloying them away.

I understand that part, but surely if one was to observe life going much faster around them they would be able to make sense of some things quicker even if it was by a small margin. The disadvantage of being a cadmium savant could be the fact that you age slower so your friends and family die sooner? So it could be that in cadmiums case it's the method of becoming a savant that is the bad part and not a consequence of being a savant?

That's a really interesting idea and it's probably close to being correct. If that is the case it's almost better being a cadmium savant as you wouldn't have to rely on your metal to help your speed in thought and it could be close to having feruchemical zinc. But the bendalloy savant would have to rely on his metal ALOT which would make it insanely expensive to experience life at a normal speed.

Personal I would either like to be a A-Bendalloy F-Zinc so I could out-think anyone anywhere. Escape room? No problem I'll spend 1minute in fast time with 8x mental speed and have figured it out. Or I would be A-Nicrosil F-Steel so I could run up to someone burning a metal and watch as their power explodes, figuratively. How fun it would be to touch someone burning iron. They would get smashed!
