And a trolloss may be able to grow to even greater sizes, if their anatomy is different enough. These are creatures that turn to stone in sunlight– who knows if their biology is similar enough that heart failure would occur at the same ratio to their normal size. You need armies for these things. -
Who can burn Malatium? Atium Mistings? Gold Mistings? A specifically Malatium Misting? Or is it something only for Mistborn? You have four Allomancers in a straight line, A, B, C, D. A burns tin, C burns Copper and Bronze, B and D burn Bronze. B is just inside the Coppercloud, directly between A and C. D is just outside, such that the cloud is between him and A. Who can sense A? (Yes, I know, long, confusing and wordy). Can one purposely distort the shape of one's coppercloud/timebubble into say an ellipse? Add a deep dent or long outstretched tentacle to one side? And can one change the size of them to a certain degree? Also, I second Kurk's question on whether Miles can heal back the loss of his Allomancy. Edit: Forgot this one. With the Blessing of Potency, one has boundless energy and increased physical strength. What is the source of the Investiture powering this? Can it run out?

Not to nitpick, since your theory is pretty accurate for the most part, but this sentence in particular is false. The prevailing (read: mine) theory is that Honor, Cultivation, humanity, and all the earth-like life are actually refugees from the Tranquelline Halls, while the natives (Parshendi, Chasmfiends, all the crustacean/insectoid creatures) were created by Adonalsium, as we know from another WoB that Adonalsium created Roshar's first spren.But back on topic. While H&C didn't create Rosharan life, I rather like the idea being applied to the Tranquelline Halls, with Honor making all the earth-like animals (explaining why Kal was called a 'Son of Honor') and Cultivation making earth-like plants (explaining why Cultivation is so big in Shinovar– it's the only place where her creations still live). And you are right. [shamelessplus]Well, if you subscribe to Intent Meshing, then the third system would actually be of Honor, Cultivation, and Odium. [/shamelessplug]

You have a point, I suppose. The WoB on this matter is much weaker here than I thought.

You still probably can't store identity down to zero, however.

Some support here for this.

"Real Life" Allomancy or How the second Trilogy might work
PorridgeBrick replied to Pathfinder's topic in Mistborn
With how easily aluminum breaks, I'm not sure that's the ideal symbol for a good marriage. (Then again, we use gold rings, which are hardly better). -
While this should theoretically work, you can't actually store to 100% for any trait, including memories and identity, so you wouldn't get the full package.
-
You mean chromium. Nicrosil just flares things, while Chromium leeches– it's the external version of Aluminum.
-
Definitely from Nalthis. It's a dead ringer for Taracin. Of course, depending on the extent of world-hopping, the game could be played on Roshar too.

I agree with Moogle here. What Shallan does is just unhook her Cognitive Aspect from her physical and spiritual (represented by the flame) aspects. So she can certainly die there– if your Cognitive dies, you're dead too– but she's not physically there. Her body and mind flame are left behind. She's just a bead moving around, a Cognitive aspect like the rest of them, except she views herself as a person and so sees herself in the Cognitive as a person still. Elsecallers have the surge of Realmatic Transition however, and can actually put a physical aspect into the Cognitive (how does that even work? Could they do the opposite– take abstract ideas and bring them into physical reality? Can they go into the Spiritual?) On another note, I wonder if these mind flames are the "living lights" Syl describes?
-
I don't really think they're true counterparts. There's not ten of them, after all. I prefer the idea of them being analogues of the Stormfather– they're both spren, and seem to have the same role as rulers over the spren like Stormfather has with honorspren and the Nightwatcher with Wyndlespren.

Accessing the power requires metal spikes engraved with various cat memes. For example, Nyan Cat gives the user the ability to make make rainbow-colored lasers.

Rick gives all ten votes for proposal 2. Fear the rainbow, Idrians. Fear it, for the rainbow will conquer all.

His blast-ended skrewts would feel right at home there, too.

game Three Word Story Part 3: Doors Never Die

Wouldn't that be his parents, not him? So I guess on Roshar, Harry's parents wouldn't get killed: they'd summon their sprenblades, have awesome flying battles with Voldy the Honorblade wielder, and then chop him down. Then they'd live happily ever after with their weekly hypercanes and their man-eating crustaceans.
-
Oh, sorry, meant Allomantic nicrosil here, though Feruchemical nicrosil is a much safer bet. I was thinking of the Nicroburster opening the Aon's "gate" by touching it, just like they'd open the "gates" of the metalminds in an Allomancer's stomach. Only question is if they're limited to affecting stomach contents or not. Must. Read. Second. Mistborn. Trilogy.

(Sorry. I just didn't want to say it all in Imperial, so I wrote out a template.)

Wasing the minding of slight correcting? "Explaining of the thanking, PorridgeBrick. Wasing the having of upvotes." Thinking of the needing of new rules of the adding. 4. Notting the leaving of normal verbs. Making of the verbs of the "-ing". 5. Wasing the needing much of the "of" and the "the". Doing the sentences with the forming of "-Ing verb/wasing/notting + preposition/article + another -ing verb/noun".
-
Hmm, true. I guess I've been automatically assuming that it would have a Shard, since it's likely a major Shardworld, and never thought about how strange that many Shards together would be. And it's not like we don't have precedent for magic systems without a Shard, since Sizth of the Dusk has the same deal with magical organisms as the source of power. I suppose you (and myself) have convinced me there. Still strongly convinced Braize is the Halls, but we'll have to agree to disagree there.

(Wait, he did that? I totally forgot about that. That's hilarious. So Scadrian legal-speak is even more deranged and confusing than our own now.)

Wasing the needing of teaching? Notting the being of difficult. 1. Wasing the putting of wasing, wherever wasing thinking the needing of wasing. Example: "Wasing the wasing of wasing". 2. Making the words of "-ing". Example: " Liking the tasting of cake, but lying of tasting the cake wasing." 3. Ordering of words changing the strangeness with, liking the wasing of Yoda. Example: " Wasing doing, wasing the notting of doing or. Notting the wasing of trying."

Duralumin just widens the "gate" in the metals that provides Allomancers with access to Preservation's power. So while you could power up an Aon by increasing its access to the Dor, you'd probably have to eat it first, since Aons are powered externally while Duralumin is an internal metal. Nicrosil, however, might just work, as long as you're not restricted to stomach contents.

Harry Potter has seven books in the series.Dragonsteel, the tale of the Shattering, has seven books. Half-Life 3 confirmed.
