One thing I really like about Awakening is that ANYONE can become an awakener.  It's not just an accident of birth.  Of course, you have to steal from other people...

I picked Feruchemy because it feels like something I can control more.  I put more effort in, I get the rewards later--never having to worry about running out of a metal supplier or something.  I also would like to be able to store so much knowledge.  If I actually had to choose between becoming a Feruchamist and an Allomancer--*yeesh* I don't know what I'd do.  They'd both be fabulous.

That's what I really liked about Awakening.  I liked Alomancy the most (though, Hemuralgy was straight up awesome).  But the Awakeners were so cool.

Vasher+Nightblood is so freaking awesome.

I'll take Feruchemy. The ability to store memory is far too tempting. And the ability to store health and age would (paradoxically maybe) help me live longer, or just better at the very least.

Yeah, the ability to store memory would be awesome.  As a scholar, that does indeed interest me.  Who says I don't have Kwaan's fabled memory, though.    ;)  I'm cheating.

- - POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT (HOA) - -
No question in my mind, Allomancy. While the others our cool, they just don't compare in my mind. When I think of Allomancy, I think of the fight with Vin at the end of HoA... literally, awesome. Maybe, I'm crazy power mad and overly violent, but, I'm sorry; buildings collapsing is cool.

I would agree but most mistborn couldn't achieve that feat.

I voted for allomancy, partly because i know the most about it. I'm now thinking i would change it to Talents. It would be awesome to have an excuse for being late and stuff! ;D

Awww I can't change my vote. I want to vote for Talents!  :D

Me too!

My Talent would be remembering random facts of information! Oh wait, I already have that talent......

But the Atium-Grandpa Smedry fight seems cool.The Atium would see a future Grandpa.... and Grandpa would take FOREVER getting to that future. He might even be able to put on a lense on the way....

Chay Shan, i believe (i'm trying to convert my friend, he has my copy of elantris). Talents are awesome though! I want to change my vote too! My talent would be forgetting things  ;D (i dont think that would help in any way, at all)
