    "You, know, my malodorous, dolorous friend, you remind me of a Mistbor-Surgebinder I once knew..." "You've known other Surgebinders? Who? Where?" "Why look, people to make fun of! Be seeing you!"

    My theory would be that it works on the same principle as Divine Breath healing; namely, bring an awakened closer to the ideal of Endowment.

    I'd say it's just cause Compounding is insanely efficient. Feruchemy deals with multipliers of human-level power. Allomancy is a gateway into the power of a Shard itself. Just because normal allomantic gateways are small, weak, and inefficient, the feruchemical ones, which probably have to be basically perfect in order to shuffle power back and forth without loss, don't have to be.

    Well, if you think of it in terms of Shards, Ruin (being entropic decay and change) would make sense. It can predict how everything is changing, because it can take into account every atom.

    Like a chain-reaction fabrial, in that it requires a KR to catalyze it, but continues on it's own afterwards.

    Cut my hand off with a Shardblade and Awaken it.

    Drawing Aons: Die! Burn! Die! Burn! Oh, I've cleared out enough of them to buy some time! *20 seconds later* EVERYBODY DIIIIIIEEEE

    Your username is very appropriate then. Not that I'm suggesting you're a marble-skinned alien with magic-induced (reverse?)schizophrenia.

    I think it has more to do with a "trump card" theory of magic systems. Lerasium, being of Preservation, is the trump in it's magic system, allowing consumers to use all metals. Atium is a "trump card" in Hemalurgy, being of Ruin, allowing users to steal any power. Atium spends its Investiture on an active effect in Allomancy, acting as an Ace in this analogy. I'd speculate that Lerasium does something similar in Hemalurgy, being fairly powerful. I'd speculate that lerasium alone, whatever it steals, is remarkable in that it does not lose power, and maybe even augments it in the process.

    Given how you're gonna be filling it, emphasis on the epithet.

    If you want to, ask them here! I'll try to answer/pull in someone who can! Welcome!

    Given their profession, I imagine many of them were KIA.
  13. Swimmingly
    No, you did not. You refused to sell it to me prompting me to make a more ironman, less giant mecha one.
  14. Swimmingly
    I added that. But it should be.

    I wonder, could the boon have been the crack in his soul that allowed the Stormfather to bond with him? So all through the book he knew he had the potential to become a KR?

    Just be as respectful as you can be. As long as it's clear that you're being open-minded, willing to adapt, and trying, you should be fine. If, regardless of that, anybody's needling you, then I believe that that person needs to learn the difference between being insensitive and not having all the information.

    An utter shshshsh who used "Because this is the internet you can't do anything" as an excuse for trolling. Chaos could, and did.

    Now, I wonder what order took her?
  19. Swimmingly
    I'd put "Three Gods" as well as any curses from the ancient past in their own category, as those would probably evolve with time.

    Perhaps the spren bond, then - effectively turning the KR into holders of Splinters of Honor, though individidually sentient ones - is what grants the immortality. That little piece of Honor clearly alters your body in some ways, why not this?

    This thread, I sincerely believe, will never end. The thread might expire into a Silence Divine, but Shades of it will stretch out into the future.
  22. Swimmingly
    I guess as long as the spren isn't at the shardblade level, they just go stupid until they bond another.

    If zombies can be spiked hemalurgically... Well, let's say I want a big crate of various metal spikes, double steel (for the mobility, not the compounding), and a Hemalurgy for Dummies manual.
  24. Swimmingly
    I wonder if there's a feruchemic metal that let's you store dismorphia? Would Identity do that?
  25. Swimmingly
    It's possible that Hoid is simply impossible to hurt without breaking off his supply of power from several Shards at the same time, and so can basically saunter saucily through whatever terrible beasts/raging energies/haunted lands inhabit Selish Shadesmar.
