I think this should be officially called Charedplate.

Thank you guys.

Do we know wear feruchemy comes from? Allomancy comes from Preservation through Lerasium and is end-positive. Hemalurgy is from Ruin and is end-negative. So would Feruchemy, being end neutral, be a mix of Ruin and Preservation and come from Harmonium? So if you found a way to burn Harmonium (without painting the walls with your insides), would you become a full Feruchemist? There are a couple problems with this though: 1. There is no known way to ingest Harmonium without going 'boom'. 2. Feruchemists predate harmony and even the Lord Ruler. I have some possible explanations for this but have no idea. 1. Maybe the Terris people found a way to burn Harmonium without dieing? Could they drink a bunch of oil with it to prevent it from getting wet? Maybe the metal just needs to be in your stomach so you could put it in a capsule? I don't think metals have to be touching your stomach to burn them or eating food before consuming metals would lessen your ability to burn metal. Or maybe it just has to be in your stomach to burn but can't be inside something. 2. Maybe some Harmonium was made when Ruin and Preservation worked together to create the world. But the Terris people ran out of Harmonium when Preservation betrayed Ruin and they stopped working together. Also, do we know if there were Ferings pre-Catacenre? I always assumed they were all full Feruchemists but maybe 'The Keepers' were the Feruchemy equivalent of Mistborn? Side note too, is 'snapping' gone is era2? And can mistborn happen without genetics? Because the Malwish have some somehow and Alendi was a seeker.

I curse the sandwich with 'minor inconvenience'. Who ever holds the sandwich will be slightly inconvenienced while they are in possession of the sandwich.

Thanks. The last part about feruchemy was a bit of a stretch. But I thought they explained how nicrosil could work in BoM. Was that just theories they had on how the medallions and stuff work?

I have a theory that needs more research. At the end of The Final Empire, Sazed explained the Lord Rulers immortality from compounding feruchemy but couldn't explain why he had such strong allomancy. We later learn that the Lord Ruler knew about the other metals (citation needed). We also learn that anyone could become an allommancer by tapping nicrosil. If the Lord Ruler became an allomancer, stored his investiture, then tapped it later, would that not allow him to become twice as powerful? Then he could compound that and have almost infinite allomantic strength? In the CopperMind it says "While Compounding typically refers to Allomancy enhancing Feruchemy, there is most likely a way for Feruchemy to enhance Allomantic abilities as well." . Could this be the way you can use feruchemy to enhance Allomancy? (Also: feruchemy is end neutral so the investiture stored in nicrosil would be the ability to store traits in metal. Would tapping nicrosil that has feruchemical investiture stored allow the feruchemist to store more than is normaly possible? Example: when storing heat in brass, instead of only being able to store until your body is room temperature, you are able to make your body temperate go below freezing (good for firefighters?). In most cases it would be dangerous and possibly deadly, but it could prove useful)

Yay

Is everyone else as confused as I am about the 17th shard and where the crap it mentions it. The only book that mentions the 17th shard is Mistborn Secret History, but some how there are members of it in a lot of books that I only learned about from The Coppermind. If someone could explain everything that would be great.

I think it is a valid theory. We just need more books to confirm it. I had a theroy just like it, but had less research.

I don't remember what chapter it was but when Shallan and Kaladin were in the chasms in the highstorm they saw dark figures with red eyes moving in the storm. Also before that Venli mentioned that the stromform grated them the power to move through highstorms.

My theory: When it describes stormforms in WoR it said that they had hair covering their armor stuff (I forgot what its called). I think that that hair is water resistant like a birds feathers. It lets the water slide off and keeps the stromforms dry. But if they get soaked in water the water can bypass the hairs and messes with their powers.

It It said in the book that the stormforms were able to travel through the Highstorm easily.

ok

OK. Thank you a lot.

OK. So the stormforms lighting works in the Everstorm but not in water?
