True, it could be useful for those with sleep onset insomnia (trouble falling asleep)
-
Yeah, but when you fall asleep through feruchemical means you don't recover energy, instead the sleep goes into the bronzemind. I assume the quality of the sleep would remain the same, so it remains end neutral in the end.
-
That's a wonderful idea. I also forgot about the archivist thing, 100% my bad. A zinc and A brass can manage pretty similar effects, so it doesn't really matter.
-
I believe breeze mentioned that that they really were the same thing except for both extremes, rather than rioting someone's tiredness, you could soothe away everything until tiredness was the dominant emotion. Complete emotionlessness with zinc and the maximum amount of emotion with brass are not possible, but otherwise they can always achieve the same effects.

Same here I disagree with secretkeeper as a name, because with this combo the brass isn't really contributing to the name (can't really see how brass helps you keep secrets), and just copper is already keeper. I think generally these two powers aren't interacting with each other very often, because brass is external and copper is internal. EDIT: just reading the upper posts, would also love it if you could post some of the combos (assuming koloss17's approval is given)

Ok, I forgot about the Sazed thing, I was wrong on that front. But martial arts I'll stand my ground on. Yes, theory can be important, but that's all you can really learn from a book. Best case, you're learning the most efficient way to train your body. You really only need consistent training sessions in real life anyway, it doesn't provide very much assistance. I'm curious if copper can store muscle memory, or just stores normal memories. The coppermind only mentions "memories"

I can agree with this, but I have issues with the "learn martial arts and such" bit. A lot of martial arts is muscle memory, as is speaking languages (although if you know the constructions and words you can eke out a decent conversation).

condensed mist is basically purified dor then?
-
Thanks for the clarification.
-
Ah, I didn't think of that. I would say being a full feruchemist would be great for storing attributes, reduced mental speed means you perceive yourself as suffering for less time. unless reduced mental speed reduced the rate at which you stored mental attributes (such as the aforementioned determination) and reduced physical speed reduced the speed at which you stored physical attributes (such as strength). To me, this also brings up the question of whether cadmium and bendalloy in time bubbles change the rate at which you store attributes, because if they do, bendalloy becomes a useful feruchemical tool, and if they don't, cadmium immediately gains another use. Also, that was a fast quote, it only took me about a minute to perform the edit.

I can see a primer cube for tin (allomantic or feruchemical) to increase someone's sensitivity to pain , then giving someone a papercut as a form of torture.
-
I agree with this, Electrum would be super useful in daily life. However, it doesn't resonate well with any metal I can think of (except maaaybe tin?) so it doesn't do anything super flashy. If you had a bunch stored up, I can see it being sorta useful in making yourself a savant, seeing as most of the allomantic savants needed some sort of determination to keep themselves flaring (I believe Spook had his guilt, for example, to drive him to continuously flare tin)
-
I feel that while this is a wonderful supporting combo, it doesn't deserve a 9/10. Detection of allomancy/feruchemy isn't super useful if you can't really do anything about it, and this combo has next to no fighting ability (although zinc might be kinda useful in combat). I would give this an 8 or 7 out of 10.
