I'd chose: - Peter Mensah as Sazed - Charles Dance as Straff Venture - Michael Fassbender as Kelsier - Alicia Vikander as Vin Not sure about the others, any hollywood actor should be nice

It's just a random plot to make the fight happen. If lord ruler sees it coming of course hw wipes the floor with them, but i don't think he expects sazed to tap steel and pewter and seize him (2 seconds should be enough for kelsier to reach him and leech) Once metal reserves are wiped, lord ruler becomes a "regular" feruchemist, with no compounding advantage. A feruchemist with tons of attributes stored, vs 2 mistborns, a full feruchemist ready to fight, an equipped bounty hunter from the future ad some nice badass guys. I guess wayne, masari and hams can take the inquisitors alone, since they how to kill them and have silver shotguns/speed bubble combinations I'd love to see the fight happening Another nice one would be hoid vs lord ruler

The goal is to kill the lord ruler, then make sazed take the power of the well and restore all as it was (and will be, wax and wayne will be sent to their unaltered timeline) Leeching a feruchemist tapping his metalmind should be useless, but for sure you block his ability to flare metalminds. Without allomantically charging them the metalminds run out normally. Wax has some time to prepare before going back, so he has vindication, silver guns and bullets, all known metals of the future to provide kel and vin. Kelsier and vin can use duraluminium and chromium, and know how to slain inquisitors thanks to spook's book. A well prepared sazed can easly grab and hold the lord ruler with steel and pewter charged metalminds, then the mistborns can reach him and use chromium. They can also rip off his bracers with duralumin enhanced pewter flare, or maybe even with a double duralumin enhanced double iron flare. Not mentioning vindication and the silver bullets, who can easly distract lord ruler while he fights the 2 best mistborns ever known. I'm not even sure tht lord ruler has cadmium, in that case that's another crew advantage PS: sorry for my english, I'm not a native speaker

mmmhhh, let's put it this way: - ruin and preservation are out, no intervention possible for both of them, no mist involved - lord rules isn't aware of the peril, the misterious force hasn't gotten his body yet The crew has some time to plan the attack, so it will likely be crew+2nd era heroes vs lord ruler and inquisitors in Kredik Shaw. I don't think lord ruler would easly wipe the floor with them: silver bullets, unknown materials, they know about lord ruler's metalminds, 3 expert strategists, 2 mistborn with chromium... my bet is on the crew

ruin is still trapped, the focus was to create a fully prepared w&w+kelsier's crew vs lord ruler gang without mist intervention

end of book 4, some weird force finds a way to travel to the past to kill preservation and take lord ruler's body, then free ruin once the well is ready. harmony, before the misterious force goes to the past, sacrifices himself to send wax, wayne and marasi to the final empire era. the mission is to make lord ruler die. they arrive just after the skaa army has been slain. vax team can meet kelsier's krew, and has some time to prepare the attack. he has vindication, some vials containing metals known at the end of allow of law, and of course the historic knowledge he has at the end of the book, spook's book included. vax, wayne, marasi, kelsier, vin, ham, breeze, spook and sazed have to attack Kredik Shaw and kill lord ruler. preservation have been slain by the misterious force, mist is ineffective. could they make it? how?

Like a temporary boost, may work looking at it that way.

I understand the effect stops when you stop burning, but he should turn back as he was before burning/tapping For example, if you stop tapping gold or you remove gold metalmind, you stop healing, you don't just die or get hurt. Same for all other metalminds: you just turn back as you were before tapping

The thing I can't understand is: why did Lord Ruler get old when the bracers were removed? I know they store age, so he regularly tapped them to get younger, but it doesn't mean that removing them should make himself older. For example, sazed doesn't die when removing his gold metalminds, but remains as he was. For what I can understand, you can store something in a metalmind, and get it back when needed. So you can age faster and store youth in the metalmind, then tap it to get younger, but one you are younger you should age normally, even without tapping the atium metalmind. Did I get something wrong, or there actually is a plot hole here? PS: sorry for my english, I'm not a native speaker
