Hello all!
I was in a Reddit conversation a few days ago and I realised something interesting. Since Copper stores the memories from a certain time, the other metals are probably storing the specific attribute at the exact time that you store it. If a Cadmium Ferring was in a room filled with Nitrogen, and they started storing breath, when they then tap that breath they may die due to lack of oxygen, despite the fact that they stored breath. This may also be true for a Bendalloy Ferring. What if a subsumer ate poisoned food, and then stored it. Would the poison be neutralised? And then when they tap for nutrients, would they be poisoned?
I'd be happy to hear your thoughts!
