Kelsier, Vin and Zane would disagree.

Are you sure? Because I always thought the mist snapping was a replacement to beating your kids to near death. After all, it made people really sick and I thought that's enough.

Why hasn't the mist snapping unveiled any Mistborn? When Elend had the idea of checking those who were sick the most time from the mists, I thought for sure that they will be Mistborn. Turns out they were Seers. So why no Mistborns?

It makes sense, although we don't know how big the bead has to be. Will a small bead make a normal Misting or maybe not work at all? will a big bead be overkill?

If you could actually ingest Allomantic metals and store them in a bendalloymind... that's a game changer.

About atium Mistings: There's no contradiction, it's a matter of percentage. We don't know how much % of lerasium you would need to make Mistings. For the sake of the argument, let's say it's 10% lerasium+90% of another metal. Now things get real simple: 10% lerasium+90% atium or any other basic metal=Misting 50% lerasium+50% atium=Full Feruchemist 5% lerasium+5% atium+90% metal=Ferring I highly doubt you would need 50% lerasium to make Mistings, otherwise it's just not worth it.

Sorry, but how can you give such a definitive answer? There is nothing definitive in those quotes.

Wow awesome idea!

I kind of wish Keliser did use atium to escape. That would make for one awesome movie scene.

I could have sworn that Kelsier said that he escaped the day after he snapped.

I've always liked the idea that ingesting sazedium turns you into a Feruchemist, and that it's made from 50% atium 50% lerasium. And also that sazedium can be alloyed with the basic metals to make Ferrings. Although I must say the idea of storing Feruchemy is pretty original, though in order to make a permanent Feruchemist another would have to give it up permanently.

Oh yeah, forgot about TLR. One could argue, though, that TLR made himself a Mistborn when he ascended. Do we know for sure that he ingested a lerasium bead? Anyway if it indeed doesn't overwrite Feruchemy, I wodner what we would call a Full Feruchemist who can also use one metal Allomantically. Then again we also don't have a name for a Full Feruchemist+Mistborn either.

Can a Ferring turn Twinborn by ingesting a lerasium/metal alloy?

pewter is an alloy, and as such there is none in water

Well, we don't know how much atium a geode contains.

Again, he had Hemalurgist spikes, and we already know Ruin can cause spiked people to see what he want. That's the simplest explanation.

I just realized something. Steel Inquisitors don't see like normal people do, they only see the metal in everything. If so, how can they possibly distinguish one metal from another? Are they supposed to trust the people who provide them with the metal? Like someone comes up to them, saying "here's your stipend of atium for the month" and they should just accept that it's actually atium, no questions asked? They must have a concrete way of distinguishing metals, because even if they do trust their providers there might be moments when they would be unavailable. They must be able to tell which is wich themselves. And the only way I can imagine they can do it is by distinguishing metal lines. Do you have another way?

But isn't there only one mist spirit? He mentioned he saw several. Maybe Ruin caused him to see these things and they were all in his head...

We also haven't seen any Smoker who's able to shield others from emotional Allomancy, yet we know it can be done. Yes, that's because Brandon said so, but if we go by the logic of "if we haven't seen it and if Brandom haven't mentioned it then it can't be done" we'll have little in the way of speculating things.

Again, just the fact they can burn other metals diminishes their focus of just steel or just iron, no matter how much they seem to favor these metals. Edit: Also, you may have to be a Steel/Iron savant in order to do this, and I don't think Kel/Zane were.

What were the shadows Alendi saw? This is from MB1: Perhaps it is due to the pressure of knowing that I must somehow bear the burden of an entire world. Perhaps it is caused by the death I have seen, the friends I have lost. The friends I have been forced to kill. Either way, I sometimes see shadows following me. Dark creatures that I don't understand, nor wish to understand. Are they, perhaps, some segments of my overtaxed mind? We already know Alendi had Hemalurgist spikes. Did he have a spike that allowed him to burn electrum? If so, why didn't he realize he was burning it? are there traces of electrum in water?

But I thought the atium geodes need to go through some kind of process in order to be consumed, kind of like the process unpolished diamonds go through.

I can imagine how he realized he was Snapped; it probably had to do with the metal traces in the water he drunk. But the amount of metals in water isn't nearly enough to perform a daring escape, and I can't imagine Allomantic beads just lying around. Was he somehow able to burn some the atium he found? Because that's the only way I can think of.

Power isn't the same as skill. Brandon said that burning copper to protect others from emotional Allomancy is something Mistborns would never be able to perform, as they aren't fixed on just one metal. Maybe it's the same with this. Maybe only a rare highly skilled, gifted and powerful Coinshot/Lurcher would be able to perform this feat.

I highly doubt a pure bead of lerasium can turn you into a Feruchemist. Lerasium is of Preservation, and Feruchemy is of balance. The only way I could think of would be a bead of 50% lerasium 50% atium.
