What if Hemalurgy can be influenced by Ruin and Preservation, and it's jsutbeing influenced by Ruin now because he's stronger.
OK, it's a bit of a longshot, but just listen through: The mists, we can agree are a sort of neutral force, stabilityand chaos and can be utilized by both Ruin and Preservation right. So why should the mists pulling away signiy ruin, and mists pull towards signify preservation, when the mists are neutral and can be used by both sides. What if the mists pull away from hemalurgist because they are so polar: the are being directly influenced by one of the powers at any particular time, (hearing voices being controlled), and the mists are a sort of balance. So what if Allomancer, who pull the mist to them, are really just balanced between Ruin and Preservation al lthe time. I'm leaveing Feruchemists out of this system, since they dp nothing to the mists. So while the lord ruler was in charge, i kept the world in check, thus limiting the power of ruin, and preservation was stronger, and so preservation controlled Vin;s mom and gave her hemalurgy, for some purpose of it;s own, but then when the land is thrown in to chaos, Ruin takes control of the earring in order to draw Vin to him. Sorry, I should finish this on the Ruin/Preservation thread, but basically, what if Hemalurgist are of Ruin and PResrevation, jsut not at the same time? I'll continue on the other thread since I got way off topic there!
