  1. Well, duralumin doesn't create or destroy investiture, it acts as a catalyst, speeding up the magical reaction. As far as we know, it doesn't purge other magics from your body, it just makes them go out in a burst.
  2. Oohh! Well it seems I got some of them backwards! Does make it seem like the drug dependcy to maintain normal function makes alot of sense. Thoughts on the other groups? I'm particularly proud of bronze.
  3. I thought Tin savants were sensitive to it, they just got used to it and started to ignore it all. It has been A while since I read about Spook though.
  4. Ever since I thought about the Iron Amenia Savant, I've just been thinking about the parallels savants have with drugs and dependency. The two good examples of Allomantic savantism we've seen in the text, Tin and Pewter, seem to cause physiological changes in the savant. I'm pretty sure most other metals would not be nearly so dramatic since Tin and Pewter are internal metals that directly affect the body and thus would be the most visible. Metals change the part of you that they would otherwise work on (Cognitive, Physical, Spiritual, and Time), either deadening (Pushing) or amplifying (pulling) the thing they affect when burned. I'm assuming the internal metals have more dire problems since they directly shape your spirit web instead of affecting it from the outside, as most of the external metals do. I just hope that External savantism has a sort of feedback effect from burning it too much. Otherwise, I have no idea how it works. Additionally, all the savants we see have a dependency on the metal, with them still needing to burn the metal to function normally. I'll also draw on the other metallic arts for inspiration as well as larger cosmere trends. (Spoilers for size) Also like don't question the order of them. PHYSICAL MENTAL ENHANCEMENT TEMPORAL (This the one I'm most unsure of)
  5. It's true! I'm sitting in the strange hours right before school! TPBM doesn't believe in magic.
  6. Agh Epee! The gross weapon. But yeah, I agree, the gear is hellishly expensive. ( I fence foil, but dabble in Epee)
  7. It's real fun! Do you bruise easily?
  8. Smokestance! It's basically just fencing, which I do IRL, and it's flowy. I like flowy.
  9. Jokes on you, I've already lost.
  10. You're good!
  11. Just a heads up, posting on threads from a while ago isn't generally something you're supposed to do. However, a neat game someone is working on is here
  12. You're so very right! Where can I buy these Feruchemical Vitamins?
  13. God what is it with this thread and weird bots.
  14. Honestly, why not? He fits every other category I can think of, so sure, yeah, he's probably an avatar.
  15. I mean, that will make them easier to control. Why not both? Spike out tameness from a dog, and give it to a beast!
  16. You can do the same thing with people, they just have more Investiture and a stronger identity, so I'd recommend nonmagical indoctrination too.
  17. Recently, I remembered, oh hey, we have metals in the body! Assuming the Mistborn is aware of these metals, do you think aluminum or chromium would burn them off? Given how iron deficiency is relatively common for people, particularly women, do you think someone who had become an aluminum savant or had been chromiumed a lot would have iron anemia?
  18. Gah? Now it's stopped doing it completely for me?
  19. I would just stamp the animal; I imagine it's much harder to affect someone else with a stamp applied to yourself.
  20. I always assumed that meant what spren stoneward plate is made out of.
  21. Also on school wifi XD
  22. Half shards are Fabrial, so no, a radiant couldn't make one, it's an Augmenterwa Fabrials, so it strengthens something, presumably tension oor adhesion?
