Hero of Ages Chapter 1

[Comatose]

I dunno.  We know that the result of all three is the Lord Ruler.  MAybe that's why he has no piercings (besides the bracers), he pierced himself with hemalurgy and then burned the piercings, taking his hemalurgy within himself so that he had no weaknesses, and noone could take his hemalurgy from him.  And that's why he makes the inquisitors spikes huge, and builds the whole back spike weakness thing into them, so that they can never do what he did.  It would be a very Lord Ruler-ish thing to do I think.

[Coof]

I don't think we know for sure that TLR had no piercing, just none that were visible. Maybe they were hidden under his bracers, or maybe they were on his ankles, so that nobody could see. Also, I think a piercing could be under the skin, I mean all a piercing needs to be a piercing is to pierce the skin, maybe he pierced the sking then let his skin heal over it. Just thinking

[Miyabi]

Yeah, I think he just put the piercings in other places to keep from getting killed easily. . . or maybe the Lunch pin isn't necessary, but TLR required the Inquisitors to have them?

OH OH OH!  This could cause our heroes a lot of problems if the Inquisitors figure that out, or already know and are making new Inquisitors without Lynch Pins.  . . . they will be MUCH harder to kill now.

[Comatose]

That would cause problems indeed.  I think the Lord Ruler made sure they had that weakness, so they couldn't turn on him. 

[Miyabi]

Yes, but what now that he is gone?

[Andrew the Great]

Hmmm. If you burned something that had hemalurgical properties (term coined by Chaos, since coma was wondering), I wonder if it may not give you the ability to use hemalurgy like...all the time... passively?

But that's an interesting concept.

BTW, I'm proud to claim the word feruchemial as my own.

[Comatose]

Nicely done, and I should have known it was chaos.  I still remember his monster post on the new metals, it was great!  Does anyone know when he's getting back?
That thing about Hemalurgy is about what I was thinking, and I was wondering if that wasn't what the Lord Ruler did.

[Andrew the Great]

I'm going to college on the 27th, but unfortunately, I need to pack up my computer tonight. So I won't be posting until that date because I obviously won't have my computer until then

Just thought I'd let someone know before mysteriously vanishing.

[Miyabi]

Could you imagine Vin burning Hemalurgic Pewter along with Duralumin?  HOLY JESUS!  ha ha!  That could get intense!.

[Coof]

I hat to bring everybody down on this, but I just don't see any evidence that a metal infised with another magic sustem's power being used by Allomancy.
Vin couldn't use Sazed's Feruchemical ring that she tried to swallow.

[Miyabi]

This is what TLR did.  He used gold that he stored age in with Feruchemy then burned it Allomantically.

Also, the reason Vin wouldn't be able to use Sazed's is because she would be breaking one of the rules of Feruchemy; it wasn't HER Metalmind.  Therefore the Feruchemy didn't work.  If she could, like TLR, use her OWN Metalmind and burn it, or in our theorizing, her Hemalurgic piercing, then she could do something more than normal Allomancy/Hemalurgy.

[Coof]

That's true, I don't know why I didn't remeber that. That was really dumb on my part

[Comatose]

And it's Atium, not gold miyabi .
And what if the Lord Ruler stored some strength in hemalurgic pewter, and then burned it, with duralumin?

[Miyabi]

I haven't unpacked my books since getting home, but I'm pretty sure it was gold because it stores age.

[Comatose]

No, Gold stores health.  Atium stores age.
