So I've been thinking about this a lot recently, and I thought I'd ask for some assistance. Let's say that there is another set of particles out there, independent of protons, electrons and the like that could make their own matter, which for simplicity we will call blue matter. What properties would these particles have to have for them to be able to be interacted with by say humans, while also being different from the elements we currently have?

I leave for a couple of days and I come back to find some mutant hybrid abomination of Thesaurus and Dictionary.com Somehow that's not out of the ordinary.

Probably not considering that mistings are now 1 in a thousand (BoM 190).

A Thing - Artificial Gravity
Frustration commented on Channelknight Fadran's blog entry in The Perfect Space Opera
Y o u h a v e v i o l a t e d t h e c o m p a c t. I do hereby revoke... (what's a cool thing I can take away?) Your eighth amendment rights I guess. And while you are totally free to say gravitons are not a thing in this universe. I do want to ask why if particle accelerators (which is basically just a bunch of magnets and computers) are too expensive they can instead afford to give everyone their own suit which is nothing but magnets and computers. I get for smaller vessels it would be impractical, but once you get to ships with thousands, or tens of thousands of passengers... But hey it's your world, I guess you can decide how much it's worth. -
Yes, other than that it would be that burning iron gives a pull equal to 200 kg of force, not giving the ability to pull on a 200 kg object other than that you've got it.

A Thing - Artificial Gravity
Frustration commented on Channelknight Fadran's blog entry in The Perfect Space Opera
I'm going to post this without seeing whatever the rest of what Fadran wrote just to see if I can guess what it is. Fadran no peeking, you can look after your edits. -
As mentioned above that wasn't very effective, and they had things going for them you really can't as a projectile. If we did I don't remember. Send me the page number if you find it.

Frustration's Firepower Index: Scadrial
Frustration replied to Frustration's topic in Cosmere Discussion
While I suppose I could ambient Investiture isn't really useful for either side. Unless you mean ranking the combat powers of each magic system? You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoy it. -
Well, considering that Sadeas was surrounded and beat on for several minutes and still had mostly functional shardplate, despite Warforms being stronger than humans. Additionally warhammers and maces are designed specifically to maximize the amount of force imparted(which is a huge deal, see how tempered glass can withstand sledgehammers, while also shattering to a simple spike you can fit in your palm) Add all of that together along with the stones and the fact that arrows and pikes are ineffective against shardplate, even when backed by warforms strength and plate being able to withstand multiple bullets... I don't think anything smaller than head sized is going to work.

You get the same amount of power out as you would if you just burned regular metal, plus the amount you stored in the metal. And so, you get more power than you put in, but an amount determined solely by the amount of charged metal, regardless of how invested it is.
-
Because there is no difference between duralumin burning allomantic metals and tapping large amounts of feruchemical trait. Other than feruchemy losing some overall power. How did I know you would make that comment? Allomancy draws a large amount of power from tiny shavings of metal. You only need to burn a few small beads for several hours of power. That is directly proportional to the amount of metal burned. Because he just did, moving faster to cross the entire room. And he did have other metalminds, ones that don't pierce his skin. @UnfortunatelyNamed He mentioned plate, but I doubt it was shardplate, as that can't exist in the CR, at least as far as they know. It would be highly effective against steel plate though.
-
Fair enough. I'd think that in order for materials to be heavy enough to actually inflict damage, they might be too heavy for a coinshot to be able to manipulate without pushing themselves. Vin had enough pewter to cave someone's head in whenever she felt like it. He mentioned how expensive the gold was for him, but he was willing to pay for it anyway. And considering how high some bounties got and how effective he was, along with how little gold you actually need in order to burn he could have easily paid for it. Vin pretty much never stopped burning pewter. That's all a gold metalmind is to Miles, an allomantic metal that gives health. He was lying Even if they were, with f-zinc and steel as powerful as the exponential growth model predicts, he would have noticed and had time to act.
-
More implications than direct statements, but yes. Possible, depending on whether or not aluminum actually stores identity rather than just allowing you to blank it.
-
He has actually. It's the same mechanics behind Hoid's ability to know where he needs to be. And given that gut feeling is a thing in the Cosmere, it's probably storing that.
-
He used the bubble to aim, but once a bullet leaves a speed bubble they slow down to regular time. Possible yes, with the bands of mourning Marasi moves faster than sound, even if only for part of her body. Sustainable on the other hand, no, I do not think it is possible. Sazed is also talking about a theoretical hack that he has never used. When Brandon explained it later he said that compounding is using Allomancy to fuel Feruchemy. And as Allomancy does not become stronger, there cannot be a multiplicative effect. You are correct that was crossing a line, my apologies. Considering that fabrials are Rosharan equivalent to conventional technology I would say that allowing one side guns and other such technology, while depriving the other of theirs to be unbalanced, unless you wish to allow both sides access to the same technology. Surge fabrials of course being the exception. Um, no? Everything we see in the books is completely possible with linear compounding. In fact it makes the events of the books make more sense, such as how TLR didn't simply tap speed and run down to get his bracers, or simply kill Vin the moment she started pushing on them. Yeah, by turning feruchemy, a net neutral system, into effectively Allomancy, a net positive system. Source? We have no evidence saying it was the same second, as long as the first gunshot was still ringing in their ears, and surprise lasted the effect would have been the same. Shardplate either cracks, or takes no damage. And considering that head sized stones thrown by slings by warform parshendi only sometimes caused cracks I'm going to say banging a rock on them would be ineffective. And in the air steel compounders only have faster reaction times, as it's all muscle speed. Living plate does not require stormlight to function (as seen by how Jasnah continues to move around in hers without light) and that it would insulate the wearer to the same degree as aluminum you could not. Were? I would like to have a quote, from either Brandon or a compounder that says that they get more power when compounding then when burning allomantically.

A Kandra blessing just contorts the soul in a way that allows them to access their cognitive aspect, that wouldn't help Kelsier who needs a Connection to the PR.
-
You can't affect things other than yourself with feruchemy.
-
We actually did not see her move at those speeds as Wax was able to shoot her during one of her fake attempts on the governor's life. If she was moving fast enough bullets were slow she wouldn't have gotten hit. They aren't, they get the same amount of feruchemical power out after burning a metalmind as they would have allomantically if they had burned regular metal of the same size.
-
There could be a chromium ferring, or medallion that told them what to do.
-
That's like saying that because we haven't seen a twinborn kill a radiant that they can't. She could also use metalminds that the steelrunner had already made I still don't think you could immediately form a friendship, not to mention that if you were unable to continue tapping at a high enough rate they would be able to push through it. No it isn't, I've had it happen before. Very well, the Radiant is a stormform regal who's lightning is attracted to the twinborn's metalminds(RoW 515). Or they have a Larkin who drains away the twinborn's powers. Etc.
-
I do not think this would work, duralumin steels Connection, which could be used to Connect Kelsier's CS to the PR. I do not think aluminum would have this ability.
-
That is true and is what f-Chromium would do, but I still would not call that 'luck'.

Controversial Opinions
Frustration replied to Toaster Retribution's topic in Entertainment Discussion
I'm probably going to get a lot of heat for this, as it is probably one of my more controversial opinions, but here we go. Gatekeeping is not inherently bad, and is at times necessary for a community. I will die on this hill. -
Bleeder never really went that fast for more than a few seconds. She moved around a room for maybe three seconds, from a window to around a corner and from outside one room and into another in about the same amount of time. The only other time she uses it she almost immediately runs out of speed. They can run out of attribute just as easily as allomancers out of metals. I don't think they have any Connection to the radiant to store in the first place. Giving either side additional tools just eventually turns this into Scadrial vs. Roshar. I move to allow only the base tools, Radiant gets shards, and their pouches of Gemstones, while the Twinborn gets their metalminds, and three vials of metals.
-
That still won't overcome the speed of light, or even get to it. Unless you literally had unlimited, and I mean real unlimited, not just I can get more, the loss you experience from compressing an attribute will eventually become too great to overcome. There is no such thing as luck, the law of causality means that it cannot exist.
