Brandon Sanderson / Re: New Sanderson Reader via WOT
« on: July 06, 2008, 02:46:35 AM »
I'm interested in seeing how the styles will mesh, as both Jordan and Sanderson are very unique.
Also i have one concern... in all of his published books Sanderson has a common theme; he likes to explore religion. I have absolutely no problem with this and being a religious person myself i quite enjoy reading what he has to say. However i am afraid he may unconsciously make it a theme of AMoL as well... i completely trust him and i am sure the book will be great no matter what.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: Mistborn as a Video Game

mm...maybe u start as a misting but depending on what choices you make you can become a full mistborn, hemalurgist, or feruchemist. Hybrid magic systems would be reserved for NPC's like Lord Ruler and Vin.

Brandon Sanderson / Re: The 16th metal's power--Potential spoilers.
« on: July 06, 2008, 02:41:05 AM »
yeah i tend to doubt that the 16th will take away Allomancy. Of course it would make things extremely hard for the hero which Sanderson loves but it seems too obvious. And of course the metal in the pool could be the 16th metal. The Lord Ruler does have his private stock; in the Well. Within Kredik Shaw.
He doesn't need to use it though, because with his hybrid abilities he is far more powerful than any other magic-user out there. He rules with an iron fist and his own personal squad of Inquisitors keep the law.
However, using the 16th metal in the Well doesn't come without a price. Using it directly touches the power (either Ruin or Preservation) locked in the Well; perhaps awakening the sleeping/chained Power?

The more i think about this idea the more i like it...thoughts?

Brandon Sanderson / Re: The Comprehensive Hemalurgy Thread

lol i feel like such an idiot. We have what? 6+ pages simply talking about whether Inquisitors use Allomancy or not and Sanderson says right out they use Hemalurgy. This also tells us that drawing on or 'burning' the mists is not an Allomantic ability (which most of us suspected) Mystery solved!

hmm i tend to derail threads a lot don't I  :-\ Anyway it was my understanding that this one is a sort of collection of everything that needs to be resolved in MB3?

i actually really, really like that idea comatose! And Tyran i believe that if a skaa were given Elend's metal it would work exactly the same, the only difference between skaa and nobles is that the nobles supported TLR in his bid for power iirc. He then blessed the nobles with some of the same metal Elend ingested, and they passed it on to their descendants. Over the years their blood has become diluted and Allomancers are not as common or as powerful, but as skaa had no metal to begin with they cannot conceive Allomancers.

i would say there are some genetics involved, as allomancers tend to have allomancer children and skaa have no allomancer blood whatsoever, but i don't think you need to already be able to burn a metal to give you allomantic powers to...burn more metals.

hmm...something interesting here. There are two possibilities:
-either the mist spirit lied, which i think is unlikely,
-or there is more than one type of mist.

After all, we know that sometimes the mist kills, sometimes it attacks without killing, and sometimes it does nothing. We also see that the mist spirit is actively seeking to prevent ruin from escaping. Also the kandra/mistwraiths are "of" preservation....whether they might be related to the mist spirit is yet to be seen.

One question:
Is the Manywar supposed to be analogous to our own World Wars? That was the first thing i thought of...

eh, Elantris was cool but i love the setting of Final Empire. Coin-tossing ninjas in a mist-ridden, ash-filled 18th century England is too cool.
and i say Final Empire because Well of Ascension was....just a little bit off. The setting seemed different somehow....not as many gothic cathedrals i guess :D

it seems strange for an Allomantic metal to grant Hemalurgical powers...it would imply the systems are closely intertwined. One other thing:
Alendi had the 'piercings of the hero.' If we take this to mean he was a hemalurgist it would mean that hemalurgy came before Allomancy, as Allomancy was created at the Time of Ascension.
