do we have confirmation that all atium alloys will do this, or is it just from what we have seen? i assumed that we were just seeing a small peice of the potential alloys from atium, and also assumed that there would only be 16 allomantic alloys. i can see that idea for pure atium having that effect based on what it's alloys effects have been, but i thought the temporal parts of that were more based on the fact that they were alloyed with metals that already gave temporal effects. it would be awfuly strange for all of ruins allomantic related abilities to be so time based, when the other magic systems surrounding him are, well, ruin based. hemolurgy and furochemy both involve ruin in some way or another, but time really doesn't have much to do with that. granted this is preservations magic system, but i still sort of assumed that you would be using ruins power by burning his metals, pulling investiture from him and not preservation, hence providing abilities that are more ruin themed. both of those alloys do burn incredibly fast, which fits ruin, but beyond that it would feel strange for them all to follow a time theme, at least to me.

yea that was the thought. its the only real connection ive been able to make at predicting what the god metal alloy sets would do, but like you pointed out it has a ton of holes. it just seemed so odd that those 4 powers do the same things yk? maybe it's just ruin, because it is a sort of primal opposite of preservation. or maybe its nothing! this stuff is a little wacky for me because ik there were parts of this that had to be retconned to fit, specifically atium they burn in the books. so it might just be that atium is the way it is because that was the only way he could fix it. It was just something that popped out to me in one of my rereads.

So ima just dig right in with my theory and yall can give your thoughts. I might be grasping a little or clinging onto vague ideas but I like the theory so I might as well post it. Base allomancy comes in a set of 16 with subsets; Push, Pull, Internal, External, physical, mental, temporal, and enhancement. pretty basic allomancy knowledge, right? but we also know that every god metal can make their OWN allomantic sets, with atium alloys as our proof. the 11th metal (gold and atium) and the atium mistborn burn (atium and electrum). now usually there wouldn't be much for me to build off after that. each god metal is another set of 16, how could we possibly figure out what each power will do without knowing something like the subject of the powers, like physical in the base set. except we DO know one of the subsets for ruin's set of allomancy. and its the same as the base set. in fact the powers are nearly identical, except for one key difference. they have switched from internal, to external. gold is an internal metal, so is electrum. but their atium alloy counterparts aren't. the 11th metal lets you see other peoples past(or potential future still not sure) selves. but gold lets you see your own past/potential futrue self. nearly identical powers, except for the fact that the subset has flipped. so here is the theory. are ALL the allomantic powers in ruin's allomancy, simply the same power with a subset flipped? how would that translate into powers like tin, or pewter? or duralumin? we already have a power that essentialy works the same as duralumin, except it is focused externally. its already a thing in base allomancy. is it simply a fluke? a coincidence? or, does this perhaps work like the power overlaps in the knight's Radiant orders? they share power types across certain orders. are we maybe just seeing something similar to that? do ruin and preservation simply share an allomantic subset, changed slightly to fit them? or is it even less than that, just sharing these two powers, used in separate ways, because i cannot fathom how you can use time bubbles internally. or is it something else yet again? does ruin have external powers, and then a different subset, that isnt internal at all? Sorry, I know thats a lot more question than theory, but Its been scratching in my head for a while.

Keep trying! 112 is definitely rough but, take it from a veteran, patience is your friend. you'll get there!

Hey! hollow knight is actually my all time favorite game! (obv from the pfp ik) I spent... too much time on it lol. I don't play instruments, but I do art occasionally and write a lot! also, I most excited for the movement system for sure.

Mistborn era one will always hold a special place in my heart <3 ToTES was SO good.(spoilers ahead kinda) i am, as always, super intrigued with how once again the allomantic metals effect the investiture around them. the aethers were nuts, and super interesting. And the story was so sweet! the ending wasn't as great as I would've liked but i still adore this book, and its one of my new favorites.

Hi ya'll! stumbled apon this place while i was tryna figure out some personal allomancy godmetal theories, and I thought it would be great to join up and talk to people who also enjoy the cosmere. soooo my name is Freya! im a trans woman, and I love these books with a passion. I LOVE trying to figure out how the allomantic metals effect all the magic systems, and most of my theories sprout from those. ive read all the books now, including TOTES, and i can't wait to chat with ya'll!
