Cstryon

Alright. So we know... Mostly, he's probably got all allomancy. Steel, Iron, Tin (I think), pewter (Inquisitors are all rediculously strong so this has got to be a given.), he was pulling on Marasi's curiosity, and very bluntly, suppressed her fear, so both zinc and brass, bronze (He was a seeker so he already had this) could have been made stronger, since most Inquisitors could peirce copper clouds. Could go without copper I guess. Ruin wouldn't have needed him to hide... I'm guessing before ruin, Inquisitors didn't have much use for hiding... So at least seven, maybe all the basics, with at least bronze doubled up, but I couldn't find reasons why Inquisitors wouldn't double up on a few of those. Atium we know, fairly sure of duralumin but like Arcanist I can't quite remember where that's confirmed. And the new metals that Vin and Elend find... Hmmm. Probably not electrum, doubtful that he has malatium. Maybe gold, but that's only useful if he had Feruchemical gold. So 7 basics, no ccopper, Atium, and gold I'd say for sure. Feruchemy. Gold, pewter, steel, zinc, Atium for sure? Those all seem not only practical, but Atium for sure, and gold I see very likely. I seem to remember Inquisitors healing like crazy, which would explain why pulling the linchpin, or chopping off their heads was how you killed them. So now saying that, I have to say gold for sure. I don't remember him sleeping. Now I know that's not really a needed detail for the story, but it could be evidence that he has bronze for this. Furthermore. Now, I doubt he'd have bendalloy or cadmium (cadmium is the slow bubble right?). So that's what I think he's got, and most likely there is evidence for all of it, if I didn't already give it. Now if I missed anything, please help me here, I worked 1830 to 0730 and it's almost noon and I haven't slept.

Hmm, I don't imagine you could store the healing from the stormlight. But I guess you could let the stormlight sustain you while you drop a ton of your normal health at a high rate.

This should work. Everyone is different, so you can't really say what "normal" muscle storage is. If the brute is storing 25 percent his normal strength constantly, and then works out, he would get stronger and gain muscle mass, as normal people would. He'd just be making up what he stores in a natural way. This would be the same with healing, you store health, you get sickly. Doesn't mean you aren't healing unless you store at 100 percent. Wayne got sickly, and took a nap, just like I would feeling under the weather. The blood maker could store a tiny amount constantly, and then change diet /get vaccines, work constantly at being healthy. So this should work, but it sounds like it would be hard work.

Tapped. The funny/cute witty drama about the Bronze ferring with narcolepsy.

Feruchemist, live life just slightly under par and under the weather on most days. Always have a strong store of everything, and never struggle doing anything awesome!

Breeze. Mostly due to the depth he had, that he tried so hard to hide. Plus he's arguably the most talented with his respective power.

Health, age, physically enhancing powers I'd see as physically addicting. Mental speed, I'd see the abuser just being depressed after, and needing to remember how to think again, same as amphetamine abuse. Though if you were a sparker, you'd probably already have learned to cope with your brain moving slow, since you have to deal with it when you're storing.

Shard gloves, simply the spren coating your hands, and then know the hands only martial arts that Szeth uses. Except, no need to throw anyone's weight around. Just go through the forms like you're practicing and let your hands go through everything. When someone shows up with Shard blade or plate or both, than you throw weight. To me, this seems more natural, forget the weapons, your body knows how to use it's hands. Maybe (spreading thin) the spren could be a full body suit that is perfectly form fitting? Then, you just dance ninja/shiek/agent Rominof/River Tam style!

People dabbling in dark arts and magic/science that isn't understood by the masses, have often been called fools... You might be on to something. Using what ever magic is cultivations, and vorinism not understanding it, and possibly fearing it, might make them call them fools.

Perhaps, stormlight being magical and all, it's not causing an increase in pressure (physically) anywhere. But it being such a stimulus, and all its other physical affects, is what causes the vessels to dilate, increasing blood flow and all that. The healing and general increase in constitution is what keeps the surgebinder (I want to say patient, or subject... Aww this is fun) on his feet, and the super charge in the cells keeps things moving supernaturally effectively. I ccan't comment on the frost, thermodynamics is beyond me. But the way your body reacts on stimulating substances (help me out with the proper terms EMTrevor, I've been in behavioral health too long) is not. Physics aside, and physiology to the front. The subject gets a supernatural stimulant, giving a ridiculous healing factor, supernatural strength, reflexes, blah blah blah. And when the storm light is gone, we've got the subject with expanded blood vessels, and a sudden loss of the substitute sustaining the body. Bam shock. How it does this to the body, I'll leave it to Trevor and Tempus. Call me if you need a bag spiked!

Stealing the sharps container can be a real problem....

We need to get a BP on a surgebinder before inhaling, while holding, and after the storm light leaves. So basically what you're saying is the exhaustion is pretty much hypotension, because the blood vessels haven't had a chance to contract? I like it! Could there be a lack of oxygen as well? I know you don't need to breathe when you're holding storm light. But your body wouldn't stop using the oxygen already in your blood would it? Hold storm light long enough, any oxygen left would be gone. Once you run out, not only are your blood vessels dilated, but you've also got no oxygen. Lie back, elevate the legs, 15 liters O2! I think my medic tending is still good!

Barefoot accident spren.

Leg of the coffee table is always where you want to walk when barefoot Spren.

His name was Robert Paulson *chant*. I imagine it takes a savant to actually have "withdrawal" like ssymptoms . like what happened to spook, and TLR. But I don't imagine it would be similar to how our bodies become addicted. I'm an Emt, and work in behavioral health, so a good number of patients I see are addicts. Here's how I understand it, say you abuse opiates, lots of them. Pretty soon your body stops making the natural pain killer we would normally make. So you stop using the opiates, and pretty soon, your body HURTS. So you don't just have the craving, your body literally doesn't work the same (like a savant). I think your body forgets how to function without your substance of choice, but with allomancy, I imagine that you don't actually jones for it. Stimulants are like this. You abuse meth, you get wired, sometimes for days. You stop, you get tired (pewter dragging anyone?). The recovery is hydrate, sleep, eat. Physically, your body doesn't crave it, mentally, you don't know how to function without it. So maybe it depends on the metal? Pewter and tin "addicts" would have an experience similar to stimulant addicts, physically your worn, you have to remember how to function without it again. Where as, gold or atium compounders / addicts actually have a physical withdrawal, a reversing of the benefits they have been gaining. Getting sick, or aging. Anything can be behaviorally addicting, but only some of these actually makes you physically dependent.

Tineye. Several reasons. I've become used to being the runt of my three other brothers. Strength has never been an extreme need for me. I'm strong enough and graceful enough naturally (I'm no athlete, and have some unhealthy habits, but I manage). But, as an EMT, being a Tineye would be extremely useful! Increased smell would alert me to...(I'll spare the yucky details). Hearing would help when listening to lung sounds and taking a blood pressure. Touch, would make it easier to feel for abnormalities, finding a pulse even when it's weak, and feeling for hot/cold spots when a don't have a thermometer. Sight would help me to better assess any trauma, and any observations needing to be made in emergency situations. Plus on occasion I could find myself in dangerous environments, which will make it easier get myself, and anyone I can bring with me, to safety before they even knew there was danger. I have chronic migraines, so I'm used to needing to wear sunglasses, even indoors. To everyone that knows me, this wouldn't be weird at all. Except it would suck that the pain would be felt more, burning Tin clears your mind, so I wouldn't be debilitated. (plus, imagine the sex! 0.0) I'd be a better driver, I could watch TV at night with the volume so low it doesn't bother anyone. SO storming useful! Now, if I could become a savant (forget the damage it will do, it's worth it) and than get a spike to burn Pewter (again, forget the damage, assume I stay sane!) Man that would be the perfect combo!

Full born BAMF would pull the skeleton right out of his body!

The kidnappers were taking people whose lineage could be traced back to the Lord Mistborn. So they didn't really know if all the victims were allomancers.

Unless we get another survivor. Survivor of the explosion.

I wonder.... Soulbearer is just that, no other powers, someone tries to use a lashing and stick him to the wall... So he starts storing. Suddenly the lash doesn't work, and the Soulbearer now has.... Stored lashings? And then, he taps it, and is able to lash? Until the store is gone.

I agree, I love Martin. Anxiously waiting on book six! His deaths of important characters really does give amazing substance to the story.

So you wear a vest, on this vest is a bunch of small metal balls (strong and light... Anyone know of something like that other than aluminum) hanging on very durable, and again light, chains. Coiled up (or retractable?) and then in close quarters, not only do you start throwing punches, but you also start pushing on these metal balls. One problem though, you might get yourself tangled up. And if your fighting a lurcher or another coin shot, you'd be tossed around like a puppet. My personal preference, if I was a coinshot, would be to carry around very small ball bearings, instead of coins.

Yay! Compound electrum like a BAMF.... Complete stimulant psychosis!

Just makes me glad that Brandon Sanderson is doing the Cosmere works and not GRRM. "Oh, your like this guy? You think he's going to fix everything? Too bad, he's dead."

I guess I didn't publish my book, which I'd call the worst book ever. It was some silly story about a kid who wakes up and his family was gone. He gets attacked by some mysterious people shortly after seeing he's alone... Farthest I got was this "hero" ended up running into a river, and finding a rock.... Rust and Ruin it was so long ago. I wrote it on one of those 5 subject note books, hand written (I'm a lefty and have horrible penmanship now... This was 15 years back). The first page was single lined, the next was double spaced.... And then I just started writing chapter names on maybe the last 20 pages.... Truely worst book. Had no plot outline, pretty much wrote as I thought. And last time I saw the notebook (ten years ago?) it was in poor shape. I couldn't even read it anymore, between getting wet, and Arizona summer weather damage. But this, this beautifully used hard copy. That is love. Witspren (awesome name btw), at this point I'd get another copy, or even an ebook, get one of those display boxes with the glass opening. Lock this book in there and use it to show the world what a true obsession to an awesome story is! Time to Preserve the Ruined!
