Title: Duralumin + Feruchemy
Post by: JCHancey on May 22, 2010, 12:34:06 AM

Hate me if this has been brought up before but the question just popped into my head and won't leave. If (in the future books) a person is a Duralumin misting + any type of Feruchemist could the Duralumin affect their Feruchemical powers?

Feruchemy has it's own built in type of Duralumin effect.  Remember that if a Feruchemist has x amount of something stored they can either just use y amount until x is reached or use x all at the same time.  So even if it did affect it the same way that it affected Allomancy it wouldn't do anything Feruchemy couldn't do standing alone.

Thanks. Been lurking too long and my Mistborn analyzing skillz have dwindled.

While what Miyabi says is true, that doesn't mean Duralumin won't give you any bang for your buck.  It could amplify your ability to use the stored power by slowing the rate of consumption.

Well, if their feruchemical power is Duralumin, there's always the Lord Ruler's trick of burning your feruchemical stores...
