Really nicely put together, however I will point out that the WoB mentioning multipliers said that feruchemy is about multipliers. Which is true, storing half strength to become 1.5x as strong etc. But doesn't say compounding is about multipliers. Now you are correct, the amount of charge is relevant, but I think it is, only so far as the amount of metal you can compound, not as part of a multiplier.

It's not a big hole, their like 3-8mm.

Compounding is using allomancy to fuel feruchemy. So you get the same amount of feruchemical power out as you would allomantic power if you burned an empty metalmind of the same size. If it gave you 10x the trait your allomancy would have to become stronger depending on how full the metalmind was. Fair point on the black hole moving, and on the sun bit. I don't know about the gravity of a black hole affeting them however, that would only work if lashings work strictly off Roshars gravity, which would be a little weird, but I suppose it's possible. Or it could be the users native gravity, which would also mean they are affected. But if they work based on nearest noticeable source of gravitational pull, it could work. I don't know, I guess we'll have to wait for the space age for answers to that one. It was a crowded room already, and we don't know that no one saw her, only that the govenor's brother didn't.

Compounding doesn't give you ten times the power through, it gives you the same amount of power it would give you if you had burned plain metal of the same size, the only difference is what form that power takes. While what bleeder did was impressive, it was only in one room and she ran out shortly after. Marasi completely drained the F-steel in the Bands, and she was only moving faster than sound for a few seconds.

Because it uses French spelling with German grammar, with a bit of Latin mixed in, and then it has been left to simmer for hundreds of years. Your future self is spying on you through your memories.

I doubt it, there are periods of lower activity, but I don't think this thread will ever end. Sorry. There's like a narrator character, cool.

So compounding is limited by the size of metal you can consume. Since compounding is just Allomancy fueling feruchemy, the amount of power you can draw out of a piece of metal is fixed. What makes compounding powerful is that you can store it for future use, but the more you pull out the more you lose. Basically in order to do what you are suggesting a Fullborn would have to eat literal mountains of metal. Given full-radiant powers I would give myself a half- lashing up, becoming weightless, and then open a portal to a supermassive black hole. The Fullborn is affected by gravity, and will be pulled inside, while I can simply watch it happen, and close the portal when he goes through.

Scadrial vs. Roshar post Lost metal.

Ask the Nightwatcher for the ability. -
Bondsmiths can manipulate Elsecaller powers to create portals. And even with f-gold and f-cadmium they wouldn't last more than a few hours.

Check out "The Ultimate Metal Count" thread in Mistborn.

There are limits to compounding that would prevent that from happening. How does the Fullborn survive being teleported to Ton 618?

Scadrial vs. Roshar post Lost metal.
Frustration replied to Frustration's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Jasnah never fought people in the CR. Anything that is in the CR is easier to soulcast. Because crem makes Saltpeter and sulfur difficult to access. I doubt they even have sulfur deposits. Crem would ruin train tracks, not to mention that the natural terrain of Roshar is too uneven for trains. And steam engines take what a few decades to implement at most? Not to mention fabrial engines, which I have designed several given current fabrials. Stormlight is superior to electric lighting in every possible way. Really? Roshar has instantaneous communication, Scadrial still thinks Light is fast. Heavier than air powered flight, which is beyond half of Scadrial anyway. Dehumidifiers, anti-inveatiture(which is more powerful than anti-matter) weapons, when Scadrial has a limited number of nuclear grade+ weapons that they can't replace. Fabrials that manipulate gravity, fabrials that detect when people are getting close when Scadrial barely has cameras. No they won't. Scadrial has a single access point to the CR, and they lack the ability to make food or supplies there, can't make a perpendicularity to enter the PR in their desired location, lack the ability to peer into the CR from the PR. Etc. And that's not to mention that Scadrial has no way to transport troops in large numbers through their CR as they have nothing that floats on the mists. You have no sources for half of your claims, and ignore the claims supported by the evidence brought against you. Logical claims made by my opponents have been acknowledged, sourcesless claims that have more snark than logic have been soundly debunked. Oh? And you know that how? Sel and Nalthis would both destroy Roahar in a 1 on 1 fight. Scadrial is just the weakest of the major shardworlds, and by a lot. Except they have advanced technology, magic powers far beyond Brittan's comprehension, and far more natural advantages. Not to mention that Scadrial isn't half as advanced, or as mobile as Brittan was. And again I refer you to the Zulu tribe, a bunch of ordinary, non-magical spearmen who almost beat the Brittish forces. -
It's not time 10. If you had two compounders each having one metalmind and an excess piece of metal which was enough for 5 breaths(units of investiture) of the allomantic trait. If compounder A stored 5 breath in the metal and then burned it storing all of the resulting trait in his metalmind, and Compounder B stored 1 breath of trait in his piece of metal and stored 4 breath in his metalmind, then burned his piece of metal storing all of the resulting trait in his metalmind, they would both end up with 10 breaths worth of feruchemical trait.

Scadrial vs. Roshar post Lost metal.

Ah you're back, the old guard are back together. What took you so long I've been waiting for you. Scadrial only has one perpendicularity, and with soulcasting being easier in the CR any lightweaver or Elsecaller could probably turn the entire scadrian force into smoke. Even metalborn would probably be vulnerable in the CR. Not to mention that all Roshar has to do to lock Scadrial out of the CR altogether is to soulcast a massive stone block on top of Harmony's perpendicularity. That requires them to have leechers on hand which are really rare, in SoS there was only one in the entire Elendel constipulary, and maybe a few hundred in total. It is nuclear, causing Harmonium to divide into Atium and Lerasium, even if most of the lerasium is destroyed in the reaction. I doubt anything other than Trellium could do it, but even if there was another shardmetal that could do it, it's not one the ones Scadrial has access to. They were only able to use Identity-less Dor, not the regular kind. They had to purify it which was a difficult process as even the ghostbloods only had limited amounts of it. And that power won't give someone allomancy. And the Malwish Consortium could really easily be prompted into a war with Elendel Basin. First off it literally says the spoilers are about Taln. Second off, I have read WoK prime, and I can say with full confidence that there are only two potential spoilers, Both of which require him to be alive. I'm not saying that as of RoW the average person could own one, what I am saying is that eight years ago the average person could not afford to send messages via spanreeds, but now they can. And ten years down the line they most likely will be able to own one. Spheres aren't valued based on their rarity, for example the Alethi collecting dozens of gemhearts per month didn't lower the value of emerald broams. Their value is determined by what they make in soulcasting. I'm saying you're making judgements based on Scadrials current tech and Roshar's which is ten years back. And what does Scadrial have that is centuries ahead of Roshar? If I gave you textbooks detailing all the principles of rocket science, and a group of people from 1820 how long would it take you to recreate the Appollo 11 mission? We know that splitting gems is not torturous as the spren show no indication of pain. And while Navani might be out she doesn't make any fabrials, she just provides funding and ideas. Both of which can easily be done by someone else. It's not semantics, it's cosmere principles. Metalborn's powers are tied to their souls, as are sandmasters, and possibly awakeners and elantrians. While others, namely Radiants and Aetherbound have no powers in their own soul, but get them via Conection. And how are you going to accurately aim spikes from a gun? And if you aren't using a gun how are you getting in range without your eyes burning? -

I would like to know how the Irish got either heavily invested, or aluminum potatoes. -
Probably ate the scrabble tiles after that picture was taken.

Frustration's Firepower Index: Scadrial

It's possible, depending on how they interact with other magic systems. But I'm not going to award a point until they get to that point in the books. -

I'm guessing the same way we measure light absorbance. They run invested particles through the spike and when the investiture in the spike interferes it will prevent those particles from moving through. Then the machine calculates what percentage of particles were stopped and that's the percentage invested the spike is.

Create your own Anti-Wax and Anti-Wayne
Frustration replied to The Cosmere Unaware's topic in Mistborn
Not really. Mistings are 1 in a thousand(BoM 190) And feruchemy is limited to a small subset of the population. And on top of that allomancy and feruchemy genes interfere with each other So twinborn on their own are rare and there are around 265 possible combinations with only 16 of those being compouners. There have only ever been three crashers and a-steel is one of the more common powers. -

Bro I have no idea. You can also spike someone starting at conception, but don't even get me started on how you chose a bindpoint on a single cell.
