*Loses at both*

Anyone can, I guess? It's been a while, and I had basically forgotten about this. Actually, I think it might be ghanderflaffle, but anyone can if they want to.

Oh it's been a while Word of Brandon- you can find it if you search for toilet paper. I happened upon when I was bored and just scrolling through arcanum signings.

Granted, you should rub yourself with curry and prance through the warcamps some building singing Horneater lullabies. (Strangest thing you've ever heard?) I wish for an Infinity SAV 10 MW magnetic generator. (Those things are cool.)

'Tis *Wins*

Deedni!

Yes.

It would increase their power *Wins with knowledge*

Granted, it gets translated. However, as your bane, it's meaning never gets shared with the world. I wish to be able to choose when I sleep and how long I sleep when I choose to do so, both of which powers work.

My name isn't all, but hello *Discordant star wars, xenoblade, and other musics ends with a clatter after an angry neighborhood tells them to quiet down.* *Everybody realizes they have gone deaf from the noise of too many songs playing at once.*

Granted, you always fall asleep at 10 pm every night, and wake up at 7 am every morning consistently, without fail. With your new health amount of sleep, you are no longer tired. However, this happens even when you don't want to sleep. Swimming? Time to drown. Need to be someplace at 4 in the morning? Too bad! I wish I could function normally on only 2 hours of sleep every 24 hours, and I can choose when I sleep.

Maybe, though it makes more sense to me you use the metal as a key to get to Preservation, and the power enters into you through the metal, through a connection. I suppose that connection doesn't need to be special. Anyway, It doesn't specifically say he burned gold that had or has had healing in it. In fact, I think it implies the opposite. I just went and found the scene. Miles has just jumped off the balcony and watched the 2 allomancers come down after him. He walks around a bit, then considers, then it says that he burned gold and saw the visions. Presumably, he was already burning Feruchemical gold to heal from the fall. Along with that, Wax thinks a few times that he always has his compounding going. The fact that he had to separately burn gold either means that he has an empty metalmind or plain Allomantic gold. Him burning it separately to get Allomantic gold shows that he wasn't burning the metal minds he was using for compounding. Unless Miles was tapping Feruchemical gold for some reason (he probably just burns his Feruchemical gold - more efficient that way) it stands to reason that he was actually burning unfilled gold that he just has in his stomach. So this doesn't really show whether or not having had Feruchemical power in it changes a metalmind in ways that affect Allomancy. At the least, it isn't changing the molecules. WoB: I think that for now, the best way to do this is just ask Brandon if a metalmind that has been emptied and then burned will give Allomantic power or Feruchemical. Unless you can think of more stuff that prove one or the other. Nothing comes to mind for me.

A stick rolled on the ground. The play had awakened something in, it something unnatural. The ancient stick of Ashyn twitched, then wiggled, then rolled out of the room and off the nearby cliff.

Will Scadrians eventually eat all of their planet's metals? Especially with new allomantic tech on the verge of coming into existence, more and more metal will be used. There is a lot of metal in their planet. However, they are also planning on making to Space Age, with super cool stuff and things. That's gonna take a while, and there will be people burning metals the whole time probably. What do you think?

I think that a person does not get to choose what will happen and that a metalmind with power will always give the Feruchemical power and an empty metalmind will give the allomantic, which I am basing on how I think allomancy works. The allomancer has a special connection to the metal (this is what makes them an allomancer), and the metal has a connection to Preservation. When the allomancer "burns" the metal, it pulls power from Preservation, into the metal, and into the person. This vaporizes the metal in the process, which is why they have a limited amount of power from the metal. Similarly, Feruchemists have a different unique connection to the metal (which makes them a Feruchemist). This allows them to store and tap metalminds. Preservation has one connection to the metal. It's connection to the metal does not change, whether or not the person is a Feruchemist or Allomancer. Fullborn and twinborn have both unique connections. When they burn the metal, the power from Preservation will take the path of least resistance. (As things do.) Normally, the allomantic line is the path of least resistance. When the metalmind is empty, burning it will give the allomantic power. The power flows from Preservation, is "keyed" by the connection between the allomancer and metal, and gives the allomantic power. However, when the metalmind is filled, even a bit, the Feruchemical line becomes the path of least resistance, due to power already pushing at it. This is because of equilibrium. When the Investiture in the metal mind is higher than the Investiture in the person, it will be pushing into the person. However, unless they are tapping, it will not be allowed to flow through. Because of this, when a metalmind is even a bit charged, it will become the path of least resistance for Investiture from Preservation. When the metal is burned, the power from Preservation flows through the one connection it has to the metal, then is "keyed" as it flows through the connection to the person. Depending on the path it takes, it will "key" different. This causes Allomantic powers vs Feruchemical powers.

Ok that makes more sense with what I thought happened. If you filled it, then tapped it to empty, then would it not give any feruchemical power? Would it give the allomantic power? Does the amount of feruchemical charge in the metalmind affect how much feruchemical power you get out? I think I read somewhere that it's 10 times what you put in.

Wrong

I guess I need a reread of era 2 So, when burning a metal with a feruchemical charge that you stored, can you choose which power you want to get?

We already know this does weird stuff, so yeah. I was more curious as to whether or not it would be possible leave the spike out to decay long enough to use the allomantic power. Because of exponential decay, it will never reach 0, but might there be a point where burning it gives you the allomantic power. Similarly, with Feruchemy, if you pull out the entire charge, will burning it give the allomantic power?

Just curious whether or not people think they do. I saw some threads about it, but it's been a while. (I may or may not have posted a few of those threads. They were not... well worded.)
