 I mean this is pretty much already a guarantee given lost metal. It's been proven that you can temporarily give someone alomancy.   It's just a matter of time for technology could get there.

But unlike the unkeyed metalminds we still don't really understand how devices that transfer allmoancy work.

When rereading The Sunlit Man I noticed somthing intersting. When a scadrian uses an allomantic push on Sigzil she appears to be using some sort of a metal device on her arm.

Quote

Nomad lunged for the Investiture Cell, but she snatched it off the table and backed away, raising a hand and tapping the metal device on her glove. Instead he snatched the sunheart she’d been working on, the one they’d overcharged. Fortunately he didn’t have any metal on him, so— He was thrown violently backward, Pushed by something at his waist. His metal belt buckle.

This implies that she used this device to give herself allomancy simliar to the bands of mourning, so does this mean that devices that can grant allomancy are now commonplace on scadrial? And if so what are the implications for mistborn era 3 and 4?

I realized Nomad was sigzil after he mentioned Kal and called Hoid his master.

Its confusing.  Aux says "we highspren" that's the phrase that threw me for a loop.  I though nomad was sigzil and then I was trying to figure out if it could be szeth.     They also mention a little female that was his conscience (Seth's could have been lift) and he says Master sometimes, wit others, and also hoid.  Seth's master could have meant dalinar.  )  I was working under that theory until he made the bridge 4 sign.  I kind of hated it.  

But rysns dawnshard was change.  Nomads was the complement of that.    

I to was thrown off by Aux saying he's a highspren and thought that Nomad might be Szeth not Sigzil and it was a bit confusing however, I still really liked the part where Sig made the bridge four sign as it was an awesome moment for his character.

Hoid made a deal with the sorceress where she got to curse him in exchange of "membership" if he could break the curse. He speaks of this in ch. 64. 

Thanks for clearing this topic

I still think that it is very unclear what this invitation was for Hoid in Tress, so can someone explain it. Was it literally the sorcerss inviting him to become an elantrian?

I recently finished "The Lost Metal" and after I finished one question started to bug me. What would happen if someone were to burn two metals - lerasium with duralumin? We have already seen someone burn a god metal with duralumin. In "The Hero of Ages" Elend burns atium with duralumin in his final moments and the result is interesting. In that moment Elend could see into all three realms and perhaps into all the future possibilities. So does that mean that burning duralumin with lerasium will make someone a super mistborn?

Anyone else think that the next step in allomantic grenade evolution is ones that can be used more specifically? I'm thinking of the way we found out fabrials can be modified, changes to the cage and moving wires around can change the effects, making it programmable

Maybe making a tineye grenade would give it the ability to turn on in response to an event/stimulus 

Who knows what the mechanism would be, but currently the mechanical allomancy is super basic. 

 

 

 

The problem is that we still have little to no understanding of how these grenads work, unlike the extensive knowledge that we have on fabrials, so predicting the next step in their evolution is hard since we don't know what is and isn't possible.

Give your breath to your car and have it drive itself,granted this can't be done in Nalthis because cars have not been invented yet but we do know that in the future the people of the cosmere will gain technology far above our own and thus cool creation's combining technology and investiture such as this one will become possible.

Also a Hollow Knight fan btw. My favorite character has to be either Zote or Hornet.

Skyward is pretty good, it can depend.

I have to agree skyward was my favorite non cosmere Brandon Sanderson book

I doubt you'd be able to decipher it anyway (my hand writing is super messy)

YKYASW you're bored in class you start writing and drawing random Brandon stuff for fun.

What if Tien didn't die

My talent would be waking up to early.

I was running out of books to read so I asked my friends for recommendations and one of them recommended a series called The Stormlight archive. I was intrigued as I saw them read it in class and it  looked great so I tried it and ever since i've read all of the Cosmere books and some of Brandon's non-Cosmere books, including Skyward, Alcatraz Vs The Evil Librarians, The Reckoners and The Rithmatist.
