Brandon Sanderson / Mineral Deficiency and other Random Questions *Possible Spoilers*
« on: October 26, 2008, 05:42:49 AM »
Not sure if these were brought up before or not...
1) Since Mistborn can burn up pretty much any metal that enters their bodies, doesn't this inadvertently cause mineral deficiencies? Maybe TRL changed humans enough so they didn't need the minerals to survive...?
2) Did I miss something, or was sand never mentioned once in the entire book?
3) If the Mist included all allomatic powers (besides atium), shouldn't Vin have had the abilities of the 15th/16th metals? If not, would the last metals be outside the realm of preservation, like atium was?
4) If metal appears as a giant blind spot, wouldn't one be able to find metal caches simply by searching for giant blindspots?
