  1. So why did khriss immediately want to leave as soon as she heard hoid had stolen a bead of Lerasium . She told kelsier she was leaving anyway but she was literally just sitting drinking tea and chatting but as soon as she heard those words from kelsier she wanted to run away. Why exactly was she so afraid ? I mean Ruin was free , preservation was dying and yet she was unfazed but this little tidbit sent her fleeing. Also from what I have seen in stormlight hoid isn't really a bad guy. Sure it's a matter of perspective and hoid himself warns others about himself but still... Also it's mentioned on the copper mind that hoid respects khriss
  2. So we know Rashek was aware of other shard world's , what would have happened if he had visited nalthis and either bullied or threatened ppl to give breath or used his power to see them and fool then into giving thier breath to him as tribute or simply bought breaths with gold mined from the final empire or some thing else like . Could he have accepted the breaths or is it only limited to the nalthisians ? Would endowment kick him out ? Had he succeeded and stopped depending upon atium compounding and grown free from ruin , would he overtime, over the centuries have become a better ruler. Preservations influence woulddy would have left him averse to change and progress but still .....
  3. Saze played a minor role in the fall of tlr . Also as I said they still view him as human and prone to mistakes. Exactly , since compounding is end positive. U could say it's a better form of feruchemy. It doesn't make sense technically but from the pov of racist terrismen. She says so during her conversation with Wax in SoS. How she didn't like wax's mom marrying outside the terris. It falls flat cause if there are multiple fullborn , it's harder for any one of them to become as politically powerful as tlr. Also more fullborn means at least some of them will be more liberal and less untechnically evil compared to tlr. A good example would be the conflicts with the multiple twinborn. Namely the conflict with Forsch and Wax. Not the best example , but a good one. A better example would be the conflict between the allomancers like straff and Vin. Straff and most of his allomancer children had very racist / classist views. While Vin and elend, kelsier and Marsh had the exact opposite view . Ok I agree this is a weak point of my theory but still it doesn't explain why tlr was so terrified of having terrismen breed with noblemen. Most of the twinborn can't compound and aren't really a threat to him. The only compounder we have seen so far is miles and even with his abilities , I'm sure tlr could have easily captured him out using steel compounding . Then taken his sweet time getting him to run out of gold. ( A easier task since dynamite wasn't around during tfe ). Hell if a group of normal constables could capture and kill him . I'm sure the tlr with his Inquisitors and koloss and non magical but zealous followers could have easily defeated him. Also half the metals weren't around the time and tlr had greater access to atium . Wax is the only other twinborn who could seriously challenge him and with iron compounding he could have easily outweighed and outpushed Wax. Wayne wouldn't even have bendalloy. Nicrosil compounding would be impossible since only tlr has knowledge and access to it. In the long run , perhaps they might have bred a fullborn but given how efficient the ministry of Inquisition was , seeing they mostly suppressed all skaa mistings and hunted down several feruchemists and kept tabs on the Noble houses as well. I'm sure they could have easily regulated contacts between terris and noblemen. Esp if they quarentined the terris from the general population and created a loyal class of feruchemists as well and had the kandra act as spies . Besides if it takes several generations of twinborn , it increases tlrs success to wipe them out. He could have originally persecuted the terris , but starting from the fifth century and the creation of the Inquisitors he could have restored and quarentined them. He could have cut a deal with the terrismen to have some knowledge forgotten in return for non persecution. Preserved his divine status in that way. So why was tlr so insecure ? I'm pretty it's cause if a mistborn and feruchemist were to have sex , the baby would be either fullborn or have access to multiple but not all allomanctic and feruchemical powers. It looks by the time it could happen post catecandre , the mistings and ferrings were already too general. I guess the terris nobility didn't recover until Vwafendels time. This is more of an assumption but it seems most of the Noble houses have suffered casualties , financial or human due to the Set's activities. Of course they could be faking to remove suspicion but I doubt it. A weak point of my theory nonetheless . The views of the conquerers however unjust and impractical still influence the conquered. Consider the real world analogy of how indians , actual indians from the subcontinent view ppl with white skin as somehow superior to ppl with darker skin. I mean , I'm Indian a d I know a girl who was beautiful in so many ways internally and externally but was viewed as only mediocre JUST CAUSE SHE HAD DARKER SKIN. The major reason for this is cause the British who conquered us were white. We hate the British , seriously we do. But we also see they weren't technically evil and also embrace much of thier culture and resultant impractical views. Similarly , tlrs views might have gotten even more mutated and twisted . Maybe it's not tlrs views at all. Maybe the terrismen think it was allomancy which poisoned tlr against his own ppl. Humility has been a centre point of many racist cultures. I'm sure most racist white ppl think humility is an important aspect of Christianity AS LONG AS ITS DIRECTED TOWARDS OTHER WHITE PPL. Like the Nazis did , I guess. Concentration camps , hunger plans , ok this does sound a bit ridiculous but it's possible. Maybe they are just waiting for harmony to become even more weaker in human affairs , for the kandra to naturally die out. ( Already they are few in no, compared with tfe ). Or maybe they are just waiting to assume a dominant place in society following the synchronization and assimilation of allomancy and fullborn within the terris community , rather than complete genocide They do seem to have a superiority complex. All of them. Rasheks views were hardly limited to rashek pre final empire. In modern times , They might view all the non magical skaa as inferior. It seems the synod of tfe was more liberal but then ruin happened and now the synod might be all racists. And yet , the use of allomancy is considered rude and severely frowned upon within the terris community , even tho allomancy is of preservation and it was allomancers who freed the terrismen from tlr. I think this is a front to divert suspicion from the terris community until they can synchronize both magic systems via fullborn . Then they might go about with a policy of Dominion or genocide. Yes , I see it might seem ridiculous but it's not totally irrational either.
  4. The fortune teller Rii from the roshasan cognitive realm
  5. Ok so I have a really cracked up crack pot theory but hear me out : * don't the terrismen seem kinda racist. I mean , ok , they want full feruchemists back but still thier extreme contempt for allomancy is unfounded. I mean tlr was a terrisman to boot and it was allomancers like Vin and kelsier who eventually brought him down and freed the terrismen. *Besides one could argue that compounding is a advanced level of feruchemy. *Also the grandma's argument that she fears the rise of another Lord ruler falls out flat if several fullborn are born. *Isn't it a bit complementary how they are trying to breed full feruchemists ,while the Set are trying to breed full mistborn . I really think once both goals are accomplished they will breed a mistborn and feruchemist together to get a fullborn or even an entire collection of fullborn . * Edwarn says that it's telsin who's higher ranked than him in the Set and that she recruited him. * Most of the Noble houses have been cleared of being set candidates. So could it be that the upper echelons of the set are actually all or mostly terris elders. Maybe they have this idea that the terrismen are superior ( rashek thought the same thing ). Feruchemy exists naturally ( somewhat ) while allomancy was created artificially. So maybe they wanna unleash a genocide of all other races BUT before they do that they want to incorporate allomancy into the terrismen. It's too promising to simply snuff out . So in order to divert suspicion they act as if they abhor allomancy. They use ppl like edwarn as the face of the organization . I don't think edwarn himself knows the terrismen are involved or he thinks only a few are involved. The terris could be as financially powerful as edwarn implied by some sort of money laundering scheme run through orphanages or whatever. Also If it wasn't for wax's pov we would have thought the terrismen were totally cool ppl. Even Wax himself thinks they are mostly cool ppl. Also stormlight spoilers : And they know that Sazed was and in a way still is human. And hence it's easier to discount his beliefs on tolerance and maybe that's why they are supporting trell , to simply cover up thier own misdeeds .
  6. Ok it seems Wax left voluntarily but still he returns 30 yrs later and the grandma chides him ,of all things , for killing in an act of self and child protection. ( A situation which could have avoided if she had kept a closer eye on the criminal , who was a known arsonist ) IDK man , seems really wrong .
  7. Ok ok , I got it now. U and @Pathfinder , thanks guys . So the spirit web and the spirit itself are different things. Much like a body and soul all over again.
  8. Ok wait so was Sazed able to meet tindwyls spiritual self after he ascended. I was so crushed on finding out that she , like ,all cognitive shadows passed on after a few moments.
  9. OMG yeah I'd understand why the kandra didn't run away. They hated the pits , wow there is something really different about thier Connection or Determination
  10. There's a debate ? I thought they were the same thing. Like u know how a MRI scan is a map of the human body , the spirit web is a technical scan of a soul.
  11. Idk , if the only thing changed is a few less seconds as a shadow on the cognitive realm. How bad could it be ? I mean u r already dead and even if u r in spiritual pain , it will go away in a few ( actually even fewer ) seconds anyway
  12. Hmm u r right. Maybe I'm just not being imaginative enough
  13. Actually I seriously think there's something really wrong going on behind the scenes of the terris. Idk man , I get a very bad vibe from them. Pretending to be all peaceful and Zen and stuff but as Wit said in WoK, thier actions give them away. I mean , Wax stops a killer from murdering a child and kills in self defense and he gets kicked out. He returns 30 yrs later and his grandma still reprimands him about it , as if he did something wrong !!!! As if he should have just let the child be killed or let himself be killed and allowed that psychopath to destroy more lives. It also kinda draws a parallel with Amaram . Acting all honourable but being a greedy, hypocritical cremhole using excuses to further his own selfishness in truth. I really don't like them. It might be cause I have some ( extremely bitter ) experience with 2 faced ppl. But I really think the terrismen are up to no good. Maybe Sazed realizes this but is unable to influence things and hopes Wax will discover and stop them. Maybe he can't use kandra to assassinate ppl. It would very cruel upon a kandra. But still MeLaan seems ok with killing. Or perhaps he knows it but can't say anything to anyone including the kandra , hence he hopes Wax and marasi can figure it out.
  14. Yeah they were killed by the second generation , and the vacated prison was used to imprison the first generation, following the coup de etat . I wonder why they didn't melt down sazed too. Maybe they were still too reluctant about violence. I mean , killing kandra imprisoned for centuries in such conditions was an act of Mercy really. So I guess Sazed couldn't save them . But he would have gotten the reasons for their imprisonment from the kandra post catecandre. I don't think they were imprisoned for breaking rules like TenSoon did , I think maybe those kandra tried to wipe out humanity or at least kill tlr and then let the chaos that followed wipe out humanity. TenSoon was something of an exception I think. The kandra were already under a lot of stress due to tlr and tfe death and ruin being released and TenSoon kinda helped ruin getting released so I think the they just wanted a scapegoat and there came TenSoon .
  15. Still hard to store the speed , especially taking decreasing returns in consideration. U can outrun bullets but u will have to store what a few months of speed for maybe half an hour. Am I right or is it easier than that to store speed ?
  16. Idk. It's amazing and all but I will still take being a full feruchemist over a mistborn anyday. Allomancy has lesser applications and significance in the modern , mostly peaceful world. For combat tho , allomancy might as well be the only choice.
  17. Seems like a good idea to me. Of course to be fair , I have never been invested in bad prequels and have no experience in that field. The only prequels I have read are the " dunk and egg "novellas , " the princess and the queen " novella and " fire and blood " , which are prequels to asoiaf series. I loved them. I think Brandon would create lovely prequels. Prequels about other series would be welcome too.

  18. Oh , u have my thanks , Lord bridgeman .
  19. Hello , ppl. Recently I came to realize one of the most useful magic systems in modern Life would be feruchemy and that using feruchemy is to live life more efficiently. So this post is basically about how feruchemy would make my life as an Indian student more fun and efficient. Read the hidden content ( I think it's hidden ?? , I'm new to this ) , if u want to get to know what my life is like . It also contains a bit of near teen angst about the attendance policy . I have kept it short. Here's my take on feruchemy in modern Life : 7). Archiving . ( As filthy Frank said ; " LYF HAX , Oh YEAH ") Suppose u googled something u wish u never had. It could be anything , from a picture of Voldemort with a nose to FULL ON HENTAI TENTACLE RAPE or SPONGEBOB PORN. Now instead of blinding urself or carrying out a lobotomy while hoping for the best ,u could simply remove and throw away the memory. ( " LYF HAX , Oh YEAH " ) On a more serious note , It would be very helpful to sufferers of PTSD , shell shocked veterans , rape victims , etc. Suppose u have some bad memories. Memories of being bullied , betrayed , trauma ,etc. U could simply store it in a copper mind and then just throw it away Similarly u could store good memories too. Like as time passes ur memories decay and u lose details and stuff , but if it's stored in copper it will never decay and u can re visit the experience again near perfectly . Also I ,and I'm sure all of u ,face this problem. Once I read a book i wanna reread it but it's not the same cause I already know what's gonna happen so I could simply remove the memory of reading the book and read it as if for the first time. Also elegant solution to get rid of spoilers. Like the spoilers I had to suffer during the days before I went to watch infinity war . Oof . Similarly u can rewatch movies and other stuff too. Or u could make every kiss a first kiss or every time u eat ice cream the first time. Every time u have sex the first time and so on. 1). Skimming So I can easily store 90% of my weight at any time without any risk. With less weight I can move as gracefully as a dancer and can jump down from high up with no injuries , cause I will be as light as a feather . So bye bye staircases . As soon as the bell rings I will run out of the class and jump straight into the campus garden outside . Also suppose I'm in a fight. I can then increase my weight and throw a punch. As u know force = mass*acceleration. Therefore if my mass ( ie , my wieght ) increases , even a normal punch would be devastating ( yes , I understand that's not exactly how momentum works on Scadrial but it's ambiguous territory , so let a boi dream , but wait no , Wax never uses his weight like that , does he ???). Of course if I'm low on weight and a strong wind comes , I will be blown away. Not much of a disadvantage tho , I can easily just increase my weight and even withstand hurricane winds. 2). Steelrunning Speed is a harder attribute to store. But I suppose it's possible to do it anyway. Like suppose I'm sitting in class , reading a novel and ignoring the teacher as usual ( can u store speed while u r sitting without doing much??? ). So I'm not doing anything which requires speed . I can store any percentage of speed I want. Then later I can tap at all the stored speed and become superfast, yes. Suppose I forgot the lab record at home , I can use up the stored speed to go to my home and back in three seconds. Or suppose the teacher catches me using phone. I can use super speed to hide my phone and take out my calculater instead and tell the teacher she must have mistook my calculator for my phone . Oh the teachers would be so dumbfounded. Also useful in a fight. As I said force = mass * acceleration. So increased speed means increased force. Now if increase both the weight and speed of a punch . Oof . Also I can use it to quickly Dodge punches . Many other uses as well. 3). Windwhispering . So tin stores senses. All 5 or more senses ?? Hearing So suppose I wanna study but it's too noisy , I could simply *store my hearing* and boom , total silence. Then later I could use the extra hearing power to listen to what someone is saying *from a distance. Smell So usually u don't need a sense of smell. Suppose I'm sitting in class , do I need that sense ? No . So I store it. Then later when playing hide and seek , I could use my extra smelling power to seek out the hiding person like a dog . Or I could use it to really smell something delicious to the peak. Taste U don't usually require ur sense of taste right. Like when u r sitting in class , *what are you tasting ? Your own saliva ? So how about u store it instead. U could also store it while eating or drinking something u hate. Like I hate eating a dish called Idli ( Not a corruption of Egdli ) , but my mom makes it every week . So I could minimize my tasting power and eat it easily , minimizing discomfort. Similarly , protein shakes and Vegetable salads taste terrible too. Then suppose u have eat something u love . Like I love it when mom makes paratha , so I could use all my stored up taste to truly enjoy it Feel It's Like the sensitivity of ur skin right . Like if I'm sitting in a classroom , I usually don't need to feel . So I can store it all up or suppose I have to clean out some muck or something. Then I could store my sense of feeling and clean it up without feeling much. Also suppose I injure myself and it hurts a lot. I could store my skin sensitivity and feel no pain.( Is that possible ??) Then later I could use all this stored up feeling to have mind-blowing sex or like touch a masterpiece statue and really feel and appreciate all the curves and the grainy surface and stuff. Sight Ok , this is hardest to store since u will have deteriorated eyesight while storing. But suppose u r sitting in class and I usually read the mobile which is like at most 0.5 metres away from me , so I can store all the sight beyond a 0.5 meter radius . Similarly u can store sight at home while studying too Then later I can use the stored up sight to like look at the intricate details of near by objects or see far away objects as if I'm holding a binocular. Also is it possible to store colour sensitivity . Like when u are storing , the world will be black and white , but then u can use the stored up color sensitivity to see the world in heightened colour and detail . All different shades and tones of colour , which u are normally blind to ,will be easy to see and stuff. U can use it to look at and really appreciate colourful pieces of art or icecream. Balence and others. There are a total of 11 to 21 senses in humans including Balance . Suppose I could store balance when I'm sitting and later tap it while dancing or doing dangerous stunts I would be an amazing dancer or stuntsman . 4). Brute-ing? , brutening? Usually u don't need much strength while listening to a boring lecture. ( Can u store strength while being stationary and almost immobile ??) So how about I store it then when required like when doing physical labour or during fights. I could become superstrong. Esp if I use this in conjunction with increased weight and speed. 5). Sparking So this is hard to store. U basically become stupid while storing a zincmind. I won't have much opportunity to store it , I guess. I need my wits while reading novels. But I ,and many others, have anxiety right and sometimes have panic attacks and get nervous easily and I overthink . It's not under my control , so during those times I can store up my mental speed and become calm and cool ( and slightly stupid ) . Also useful while meditating. During meditation thoughts are harmful and obstacles right. So suppose I store up my thinking speed then. I can become a master meditator easily. Then u could use the extra thinking power to score high on tests that require critical thinking or analysis. 6). Firesoldering/ Firesouling This seems useless at first but it's actually very useful. Like suppose it's a hot day , u could store all the excess heat and be cool. Then u could use the stored heat to warm urself on a cold day . It's like having a personal air conditioner If u r the restless adventurer type , suppose u wanna cross a desert or climb mount Everest. While crossing the desert u could store up heat and be comfortable. And before climbing mount Everest u could be in front of a fire and store up all the excess heat and use it to warm urself while u r climbing mount Everest , instead of wearing all those *heavy , uncomfortable clothes. 8). Sentry-ing ?? This is harder to store since u will be sleepy while storing . I guess it's *great for insomniacs . U could use this to have a strict schedule of sleeping I guess. Also suppose a class is boring and I can't use my phone either since the particular teacher is very observant, i could store wakefulness then and then later either study all night or party all night . Useful during examtimes i guess 9). Gasping So i just have to breathe a lot to store breath. Easy and then I can go diving for hours and find pearls or save drowning ppl or idk catch fish or something. Can also work in environments where it's hazardous to breathe. Scuba diving becomes a lot easier since I won't have to buy and lug around those cannisters containing helium-oxygen mixtures. Cheaper too , since those cannisters are expensive , right ? Makes climbing mount Everest easier too since u won't require oxygen cylinders . Also I could bet a friend a 1000 rupees that I can hold my breath for 10 minutes and make easy money . 10). Subsuming . This is extremely useful for ppl worried about their weight . This way u can eat as much as u want and never get fat. Also helps u in disguises as u can make urself stick thin or really fat by tapping and storing it ( as per MAG) Basically u can use this to gorge on food and then spend months without eating anything. Helps a lot in survival situations 11). Boneknitting ( I know it's called bloodmaking technically , but boneknitter sounds so much cooler to me ). This is very useful . Basically with enough stored healing u can heal broken bones , regrow limbs , fight all manner of diseases?? , etc. But it's storing the required health that's a real slontze . I don't wanna most of time being sickly and weak. The best method I guess is it only store 10 % or 20 % of health constantly and eventually u will have enough health to recover from lethal injuries. U can use it for daring acts but personally I would keep it as insurance in case of an accident. Also useful to get rid of hangovers after a hard night of partying . Another disadvantage is that is that gold is expensive and vulnerable to theft. I mean , boy oh boy , wouldn't it suck to have years worth of healing in a goldmind, only to have it stolen ? 12). Pinnacling This is the hardest attribute to store . I mean , u require determination for pretty much anything. It's especially hard for ppl suffering from depression . I suppose the best method is again to store only a small percentage of the available resource. Still takes a lot of time and less useful than gold. However ,it would of some use if a sudden , unexpected and hard task or obstacle came up ( which usually do come up ) and u could use the stores to power through it . Same disadvantage as gold. Expensive and theft vulnerability. 13). Spinning This is perhaps the hardest attribute to store. I can't store it in class , since it will make me unlucky and vulnerable to being caught reading novels or comics on phone by the teacher. I think the best way to store it is to hole up in a small , empty space reading a book , wearing old ratty clothes and nothing of any value ,then store it. Then only in small increments so when someone spills coffee on me , it's just lukewarm and not boiling .Still not for me as I read on a phone and it will most definitely malfunction. Yeah this will hard to store in my life , esp since tapping fortune isn't as straight forward as per WoB. But I could use the stored fortune to get out of the occasional tricky situation. 14). Soulbearing Yeah this is probably useless in real life , unless u have access to magic systems other than feruchemy. 15). Trueselfing This may or may not be useful . The author hasn't written much about it , so hard to speak about it's advantages . But maybe it's possible to store detrimental parts of my identity. Like for example maybe it's a part of my identity to be lazy or sad . I could store that part in a Aluminum mind and then throw it away. Then I would no longer be sad or lazy ?? 16). Connecting This is very useful to me. When I am reading comics or novels in class , by storing away most of my connection I could be ignored by the teacher and not disturbed by friends. I can read in peace . Later in break time or after college , I could use the stored up connection to have lots of fun with friends or even make my crushes fall in love with me easily ( yeah ,that's creepy and probably immoral and illegal ) . Could also form trusty relationships as a basis for one night stands and friends with benefits ( Again creepy and immoral ?? The connection manipulation , not the relationships. I'm fine with such relationships. ) So that's all I could come up with. If u have some novel use of feruchemy in ur life or find a complication in one of my applications , please let it be known.
  20. Oh that's disappointing. So it isn't all that horrible to have ur soul ripped ? U sure ? I mean , getting ur soul ripped seems like a big deal. Do we any wob on it ?
  21. I was browsing and i found this post . And I began to think the most humane part of hemalurgy is getting a spike driven right through your heart. The really brutal part is that it rips ur soul or atleast takes a chunk of it. This knowledge would also become widespread and in my opinion atleast , this makes it completely different from organ donation. Do we know what happens to the souls of ppl used to make spikes, do they suffer ? Do the souls even exist after being ripped apart ? How do they look in the cognitive realm post death ? Do we have any WoBs on this ? In secret history , we see the cognitive shadow of a koloss and only the spike reciever has one. The chunks of the other souls don't show up in any way ( i thought they would manifest in a Spren like manner ) , so is it possible that the part of the soul not bound by the spike simply dissolves into nothing ? If so, is it a fate worse than death and The Beyond ? Also is it the part of the soul responsible for sapience that's attached to the spike ? Is the chunk of the soul still aware ? If so , are the detrimental side effects of hemalurgy due to the spiked soul somehow knowing what happened to it and fighting against the recipient soul , rather than the recepiant soul rejecting the spike or is it a combination of both cases ? ?
  22. Noice , I saw that episode too. Like 7 yrs ago. Ah nothing brings back nostalgia like superstitious psychopaths on a Mistborn forum. *Sighs
  23. Dude get out right now . Trust me , this site is crawling with spoilers . Come back to the mistborn forum, Once u finish all the 7 books. Better yet , Don't come back till u read both Stormlight and mistborn completely
