The more I think about it now the less I agree with my own theory. Allomancy seems to have far more of a cognitive aspect to its magic then sel does. If you want more power just think burn faster (flaring). If you suddenly find out that all things have trace elements of metal in them wow you can see everything with steel/iron sight. any focused application of the metals abilities may just come down to understanding the power and its limitations better and forcing yourself to view the world slightly differently. example being tin. Brandon has said that tinminds can store bronze sense. He also said that allomantic tin can enhance any sense. So from that if you burn bronze then burn tin your bronze sense should be just as enhanced as all your other senses. We don't see this happen at all throughout the books probably due to the mistborn not perceiving allomantic bronze to be an extra sense to be enhanced.

It is possible to store more than the standard five senses: BartimaeusTrilogyFan Can Feruchemists store more than the five ‘traditional’ senses, and does Allomantic tin enhance more than the traditional five senses? Brandon Sanderson More is possible. /r/books AMA 2015 (May 17, 2015) 0 Quote Say could you store perfect color recognition or perfect pitch in a tinmind.

It's just a theory after reading elantris and seeing similarities. Maybe they can do stuff like that just with there future tech instead.

Take pewter for instance. If there are modifiers and you found the right one you could focus the power to do only one of pewters abilities. Say instead of pewter reinforcing your bones musules and everything else you could find a modifier that focuses only on healing. Something like that.

Something like that, yes.

Yes but those were the Base 16 metals. They weren't burning like non-allomantic pewter at the same time as burning allomantic pewter. The only time when we see people burning multiple metals are mistborn and aging they were all the known 16. I would look at that like an elantrian drawing 16 different base Aons without stringing them together.

I have a theory on advance allomancy. So we all know that allomancy works similar to Aondor or any Selish magic. The shape of the metal's molecular structure creates a gateway for the investiture to filter through the spiritual realm to the physical realm. The shape of the molecules force the investiture to perform in a specific way. We see that in Aondor after you draw the basic Aon you can place modifiers on afterwards focusing the power even further or amplifying it. So there should be a way to do this with allomancy. The Allomantic metals are like the base Aon, Iron pulls, steel pushes and pewter reinforces the body. Perhaps there are metals that act as these modifires that don't work unless you are burning one of the 16 allomantic metals (like how modifiers don't do anything in Aondor unless the base Aon has been drawn).

The pieces of soul (investiture) stay in the spike even if the host dies. The host will stay in the cognitive realm longer after death due to being more invested then a normal human being. All the people that had chunks of their soul ripped out stay in the cognitive realm a shorter time then normal due to being less invested. Besides these to things nothing else is different between the victim and the recipient of hemulergy after death.

Here is another one. For era 4 engineers I can imagine them pushing and pulling on the metallic molecules of objects to create nano tech. We know that they can see the trace elements of metals in objects so the next logical thing is to push and pull on those tiny trace elements.

The real question is can you store balance in a tinmind. That will give us a more clear idea on which allomantic metal is boosting balance.

My question for you all is, are there advance skills in steel pushing and Iron pulling that we haven't seen yet. I have a few ideas on abilities that steel and iron allomancy should be able to do. Create steel and iron lines not from one center of gravity. Allomancers can see non metallic objects due to the trace metals in those objects. This is due probably to a change in perception (as we know that perception can limit or expand on a magic users abilities). So if the Allomancer is able to trick him/her self into thinking say their hand is their center of gravity, then I see no reason that the can't the blue line come form there. Bend or twist the blue lines. Again this will hinge on whether perception can interfere in an allomancers ability with there metal. If an Allomancer perceives that the blue don't have to all ways be straight then they should be able to make them bend or twist. This will mean that then can push or pull on an angle. what other abilities that you think allomancers should be able to accomplish but are can't because they are putting artificial limits on themselves.

Like wise. It's all just speculation at this point and I doubt Brandon will be forthcoming in answering this question.

I see your point but I would say that if my theory is true i don't think that the metal would be keyed to anyone's identity. After all its simply free investiture that was captured.

True but in allomancy the metal is just acting as a gateway. In Feruchemy the metal is literally storing investiture. I would assume that this would mean that if you were to store the mists in metal it would take on Feruchemical attributes.

But wouldn't the investiture be shaped by the metal therefore giving a feruchemical ability

So if you did store it in metal and you burned it would you get a feruchemical ability or a boosted allomantic ability.

Hi guys new here, this may have already been answered but can the mists be stored in metal similar to how stormlight is stored in gemstones.
