Arcanist Lupus he/him Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 *Stores weight in ironmind* You were saying? You can't be perfectly weightless. Even if you can store all your weight, you can't store the weight of your clothes, and even if you're naked, you still have to be holding your ironminds.
Voidus Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 If you used a thin iron wire for the ironmind it could still work, that's one of my favourite twinborns, Iron feruchemy with tin allomancy. Human kite with enhanced senses=epic sentry
Aeshdan he/him Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 There is the question of people volunteering/being paid to be spikified. But that also smells a bit wrong. Would you want part of your soul ripped away, either killing you or deeply damaging you on some fundamental level up to the point where you're not even the same person? What about if it was the only way to feed your family through the winter? That's the point where we step into coercion territory, where your "choice" to be spikified would be a leonine contract. Jewels seemed pretty happy with it in Warbreaker.
Kurkistan he/him Posted September 15, 2012 Posted September 15, 2012 Jewels seemed pretty happy with it in Warbreaker. Touche. Then again, she was still herself, just a less Determined, more irritable version of herself, and she was only happy about it for religious reasons. No Drab who gave their Breath up for money is portrayed positively.

You'd be an animal in essence. At least Jewel retained intelligence.

You'd just be stealing the extra bit that gives them allomancy, not the whole of preservation, otherwise spiking a mistborn it should be possible to either get all of their abilities or one ability at 16x strength. Also yay for someone else voting Hemalurgy!

Thoro he/him Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Definitely Allomancy. Just because Vin rocks like hell! 1
Observer Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Definitely Allomancy. Just because Vin rocks like hell! By rocks I'll assume you're actually referring to Roshar. By Hell I'll assum eyou're confusing allomancy for feruchemical brass.
Zenith Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Surgebinding, just because controlling gravity and the sticky-ness of things (with regards to other specific things) is just that awesome.

As well as 30% Atium and 10% Lerasium. It's a bit of a...spendy cereal. Plus, the hospitals would never believe that I was eating metal. 1
Observer Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Most 'morning foods' contain iron. I imagine if people were allomancers in real life, we'd learn pretty quickly.
Zenith Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 "Naughty naughty! Why were you in the ancient armory again!?!" (Mouth full)"Uhm no...reason..." "Why do you have a box of breakfast cereal behind your back?" "It's delicious?" 8

Observer Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 The cereal is also Awakened, giving a whole new meaning to "Gotta Catch 'em all!" 2
Captain.Kaulu Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 Well, being a full Feruchemist and a full Allomancer (via Lerasium?), like the Lord Ruler pre-Hemalurgy, would be pretty epic. The kind of Compounding tricks that Rashek pulls with atium and Miles pulls with gold? Yeah, Rashek could have done that with all 50 metals. Wowzers. I actually think Awakening is one of the more flexible, amazingly useful magic systems we've seen in the Cosmere. Consider all the different things we've seen it do; then consider how Brandon has said it's much less-developed (compared to its potential) than the magic systems on other planets are. But it does have the catch that to be useful, you do have to have a bunch of Breath first, and acquiring that without harming other people's lives is pretty difficult (and expensive), so there's the constant guilt that would be involved. Hmmm, maybe I'll pass. So I guess overall, if "Mistborn + Feruchemist" aka "Twinborn x50" isn't an option, I'll go with AonDor ... It doesn't rip out your entire soul, just a piece of it depending on where you place the spike. And you would only need 32 at most Actually that is quite a bit come to think of it. Better throw in some mental fortitude spikes. Where are you getting the "32 at most" thing? After all, there are also 34 god-metals (including alloys)! So we're up to 100 spikes for ultimate Hemalurgic power ... assuming that you can't become "super-strength" at a power (like Vin's Bronze burning) by getting two Hemalurgic spikes. If you can, then 100 spikes turns into 150. Yikes. And gross.

If you can, then 100 spikes turns into 150. We're still not sure how the god-metal alloys work, are they a separate type of misting/ferring? or could a Seer burn all atium alloys? Or a Coinshot burn steel-atium alloys? Lerasium and its alloys can be used by everyone don't forget, although not sure on feruchemy. Anyways I should at least make that 34 for Allomantic and feruchemical atium, possibly 35 for feruchemical Lerasium. Oh and compounding means you don't need to double up on spikes.
