Brandon Sanderson / Feruchemical Combat Techniques.
« on: July 06, 2009, 02:08:00 AM »
I apologize if such a thread has been done before. If it has, I've been unable to find it.
That said, ever since I finished the third book, Feruchemy has been eating my brain. Considering what Sazed was able to manage, I can't stop thinking about what a warrior Feruchemist could do. Things like replacing one's backteeth with gold, zinc and steel; swallowing ball bearings (and combating the toxic effects with gold PRN), filling tinminds to keep as an analgesic tactic and so on. Also, speed is more useful than strength (seeing as Feruchemical strength proportionally raises bulk).
Just to keep things accessible, a list of the metals and their feruchemical applications: Pewter - stores strength; Iron – stores weight, not mass; Steel – stores physical speed; Copper – memories; Tin – sensory acuity; Gold - stores health; Bronze - stores wakefulness; Zinc – stores mental speed and Atium – stores youth.
The floor is now open to all manner of speculation.
