Brandon Sanderson / Re: The Comprehensive Hemalurgy Thread
« on: July 09, 2008, 08:07:21 AM »
Sorry if I say stuff that has already been said beforehand, but it's late and I jumped onto this forum a little while ago so have not had the chance to read everything. Also this is my first post so bear with me.
Anyways I had this huge epiphany with the whole hemalurgy and allomancy having to do with the mists. First of all, the people who use hemalurgy that we have seen so far (ie inquisitors, zane I belive) all have steel within them correct. Afterall, inquisitors are part of the "steel ministry." Now steel according to the allomantic table that is in the book pushes (also on a sidenote about this, in the table it says steel pulls at least in the book I have while iron pushes. But later on in the definition part, it says that steel pushes which is correct I belive). So my theory is that this is why the mist reacts the way they do to hemalurgists. Now for allomancy mistborns, I believe that they attract the mist because they are born with allomantic powers. Possibly this has to do with an abnormal high level of iron that they have within their blood which in turn attracts the mist.
Sorry once again if this post is a little out of place but I really wanted to throw this idea out there if it hasn't been mentioned before. Really nice discussions on here by the way.
