Me? A cult? About the best feruchemantic metal? I would never.

Alright, who in Harmony’s name just spammed me with rep?
I mean, I ain’t complaining, I just feel like I can’t take it without scolding/promoting someone.

Random Twinborn Combo Day 35: A-Tin and F-Chromium Hey!! It’s a combination where both parts are useful! So previously, I said that the batter you store at managing fortune, the better your other ability would be. For this combination, I’m not too sure. Perhaps you could more easily instinctually burn tin at the right times, but that’s about it. However, I still think this combo is pretty cool. While storing Fortune, one could totally burn tin to compensate a tad. I also think the mixture of getting more information and just being lucky could be really nice. Resonance: Honestly, I don’t have one. This feels like something that you could come up with a resonance for though! Name: Again, my brain is currently empty of ideas, but perhaps others’ are not? Rating: 7/10; good, nothing crazy, but there’s certainly merit to it.
-
Yeah, my take is that the most valuable part of a twinborn combo is the Twinborn aspect of it. If you just have two powers that just operate independently, it’s a lot less fun.
-
Good, good….. There are too few who see the divine truth of F-Tin supremacy.
-
Welcome to the Shard! You’ll see me around the Mistborn forums too! For your newbie question: what are your opinions on Feruchemical Tin?
-
Don’t you worry. I’ll stop when I need to stop. Right now I can chug a tad more, but recently I’ve been rolling a few that are really weird (Anything with A-aluminum or A-Duralumin and F-Nicrosil or F-Aluminum are going to do that). It makes it tough to theorize about, given that they’re really only half Twinborn until we truly figure out those four, which probably needs some Brando assistance. But I appreciate the concern!

Random Twinborn Combo Day 34: A-Bendalloy and F-Nicrosil Honestly, we don’t really know how F-Nicrosil works. From what I understand, it works more like a Coppermind than a zincmind, meaning that you can never really get more investiture than you had before without compounding. However, it is crucial to making unsealed metalminds, so there’s that. For those unaware, F-Nicrosil stores innate investiture, and not kinetic investiture. So it stores the ability to burn a metal, not the effect of the burnt metal. It’s a weird metal with a lot of theoretical potential, but it is (as far as I know) kind of useless on its own. But because it is such a black hole to me nowadays, I can’t really give this combo a resonance or name. Rating: As I understand it, this is basically a slider but with extra weirdness. 3/10, as it ain’t really much of a twinborn.

Yippeeee! There’s another human! Welcome to the Shard! Which Cosmere character do you think would get along best with Yoshi?
-
I mean, to be fair, nothing can be as epic as someone falling full force into the ground, getting up, dusting themselves off, and continuing on like nothing happened.

Good to know! It’s good to know that some things are still intact when it comes to savantism.

Prediction For Stormlight 5 (Spoilers for RoW)
Koloss17 replied to Jace The Firesworn's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Okay, well my honest thought is that one of the main characters needs to die. I feel like it can’t be Dalinar or Lift, as they are seeded by Cultivation to be future vessels, and even if their plan doesn’t work, something has got to happen with all that. It can’t be Kaladin, as he is kind of Honor’s champion, and he needs to get over his trauma. Technically, he could die, but I doubt Brandon wants his big depressed character’s arc to end with them dying. It can’t be Shallan, as she both has a lot of character growth to still do, as well as also Brando not wanting to screw up the one piece of DID rep he got. It could be Szeth, but since he’s already died a few times, I doubt his arc is going to end by finally dying already. My bet is on two characters, and those two are Syl and Adolin. Syl because her real arc was being the rebel, and after that, she had just kind of acted as a support and sane person to Kaladin’s Big Sad. Adolin because while his big arc is to totally bond Maya, he could definitely do that and then die. I’m leaning more on the side of Syl than Adolin, as I want our golden retriever boy to be happily married and to cheer on another generation of maybe war criminals. But if it’s done well enough, I’m sure it can be a wild ride. Past that scalding take, I think Kelsier and his gang will be more active during this book. Maybe they’ll step in to fight the fused, maybe a few members will break loose. Either way, we’ll be having more Ghostbloods. I also hope that we get more Lift, as she hit hard in RoW, and I feel that her character arc is just getting started. -
Absolutely valid Cosmere theory tbh.
-
Though we don’t really know how canon that is at the moment, as while the text certainly does say it, Brando seems to want to up the cost of savantism.
-
Hey hey! Welcome to the Shard! You’ll find plenty of absolutely unhinged theorists here (myself included), so don’t worry, you’re in good company. What is your favorite aluminumfoil hat theory?
-
Honestly, I would read it after mostly everything else. That being said, it is a good stand-alone story in its own right, and was made with the intention of being able to be read without spoiling any other books. There are a lot of tie-ins however, and many are integral to the plot. I would certainly love the opinion of someone who read Tress before reading all of the Cosmere, and see how their experience differs. In the end, do what you wish. However, since I presume you ain’t stopping Era 2 halfway through, you might as well read the two other stand-alone novels (Warbreaker and Elantris) to finish off the main Cosmere. But you do you!
-
Ah, well you would think that, but I would probably semi-shift into a funky little Larkin person

Random Twinborn Combo Day 33: A-Aluminum and F-Pewter I think I talked about these two in enough depth in previous combos, so this is just the two of them combined. Resonance: Perhaps an easier time building muscle mass? Name: Strongsoul? I’m not wild about this one honestly. Rating: 4/10. Depending on how good the resonance is, it could be better than just a Brute Ferring, but it doesn’t really feel Twinborn-ish And how about another one, as I missed yesterday’s post? Random Twinborn Combo day 33.5: A-Atium and F-Bendalloy So, these two don’t seem to be that synergistic at all, one is pretty much exclusively combat focused, and one is pretty much exclusively casual life focused. I am not seeing a lot that can be done with them. Resonance: Not A Clue, honestly. Name: Not much here either Rating: 3/10. An underwhelming ability paired with a really hard to get metal. Not great, not great.
-
Actually, I need some specific examples here. I think there’s theoretical merits, I just haven’t thought about it yet. What chill activity would be the prime time for you to be storing mental speed?
-
I…don’t think that’s how it works. You would still think those thoughts, just slower. I would honestly just feel more anxious, because I can’t catch up with the information I need to take in.
-
Honestly my biggest problem with F-Zinc is that it is a nightmare to store. Knowing you can think faster, and you’re thinking at the speed of mud? That would be infuriating as all damnation. I mean tapping it is great, but is it worth storing it?
-
Huh. I don’t think I really put that together, but it sure does make sense. Nice catch!
-
Yeah, honestly I have no clue on the proper wordage when it comes to Feruchemists. Feruchemantic, Feruchemical, Feruchemy, Feruchemancy? No idea.
-
Of course! Hemalurgy is welcome! Once the plot that they’re currently in is wrapped up, my plan is to try to corrupt them and give them steelsight, making them quite a bit more powerful.
-
Alllllrighty folks! It’s time for the ultimate challenge. Of the 16 (17 if you’re feeling funky) Feruchemantic abilities, which one is the best? I’m not talking about anything in particular, just…which one is objectively better than the rest? While teeeechnically they each have their own important and valuable uses, each of which being the best at one specific thing, there has to be one that is better than the rest. If any of you have been on the Mistborn forum for any amount of substantial time, you would know that my vote is on F-Tin. It’s easy to get metalminds of, it stores a variety of attributes that can be used in a variety of situations, it synergizes awesomely with many other magic systems, and can be useful in just about any situation. I’d you want a full briefing, my F-Tin cult is awaiting new acolytes. What metallic hill are you willing to die on?
