I'm actually very curious about these systems. I wonder if Brandon would use some rune-based magic systems...

I, Michal Piotr Andziak, thoughtfully take the oath to never, under any circumstances, read any of Brandon Sanderson's works that have not been published or released to wider public in any possible way. I take the oath to never betray my Omega fellowmen.
And I shall strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.

Pretty sure Liam Neeson needs to be in there somewhere. Bluefingers? Vasher? Denth? One of the gods? King Dedelin?

Not seeing any bad options here.

Denth, in my opinion.

Well, about possible Mistborn sequel, I've got my own idea for the story. I think I already wrote it somewhere here, but I'll do it again.
So, I was wondering, if Atium returns to the world a long time after it's used, and it's growing in the Pits, maybe Larasium - which should follow the same rules, due to the balance on Scandrial - does as well? I think there are Larasium Pits somewhere in Mistborn's world, waiting for people to discover them.
That would fit the story, if the sequel would be set hundreds of years after all the atium and all the larasium have been burned. Imagine that! There are no Mistborn in the world, they are known only from legends, and suddenly, the chance to become one reappears, along with the deadliest of metals, atium.

Assuming that Larasium and Atium will both return to Scandrial, and assuming that someone, theoretically, may know this fact, we have the main plot for next Mistborn book ready.

But it's the wrong power.  Preservation creating a Misting that can only use a power not of him?  Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Well, the biggest distinction between the God Metals (Atium and Lerasium) and the others is not only their source, but also that Atium and Lerasium were invented solely for Mistborn.

But you missed one thing - ANYBODY can burn Larasium.

A logical question, then, would be what would happen if a non-Allomancer ate atium much in the same manner that someone takes lerasium.

This happened on a regular basis.  That's how they discovered Seers.

But they were already Allomancers, Seers, and the Atium simply brought that fact to light.

They needed to check if somebody's is a Seer or not, so most people who were eating it were just normal people.

But the fact that it was stolen doesn't change it's power itself, does it? If it would, then Atium would be totally useless for Ruin.
But, if you think about it, it shouldn't be a problem. Allomancy doesn't use the power of Preservation, but instead it's just created by it. Preservation's and Ruin's power doesn't really collide then - you just burn the metal and release the power kept in it. Be it any kind of power.

I would agree to the instant-multiplayer system, but for an MMO - no wai! That's a bad idea.
And for what Chaos said, it's a one-in-a-kind situation we had in TFE, where a Mistborn was the captain of group of Mistings. It depends on what the story would be, but I don't think the original Mistborn's story would do the trick in a videogame.
But if we would have a situation like that, I agree with Chaos. That would be a totally good idea.
