lol i wish i had a car...period. 
News:
Max is a Shadowblade, a supernatural--and supernaturally competent--warrior bound to protect her witch Giselle. As a Shadowblade, Max doesn't age. She is better, faster, stronger than any ordinary human being. And she hates it. Giselle betrayed her trust to make Max what she is, and though she is magically compelled to protect Giselle and follow orders, Max works against her witch in every way she can.

just a quick side note: Do we know if Marsh is working with the other Inquisitors, or is he going solo?

well, the only other people who can pierce copperclouds that we know of are hemalurgists, so i think its fair to say that is one of hemalurgy's benefits.

If you feel you can only count on yourself, and you are given almost god-like power, would you give it away? If you can't trust, would you believe anyone who told you to give that power away?
So you believe it is Preservation?

« on: June 05, 2008, 05:51:30 PM »Zane does the same thing; he is never seen swallowing Atium
He probably carried a bead in his mouth like he did with coins. That way digestive juices didn't ruin it and he'd be able to swallow and burn instantly. If it's a big enough bead he wouldn't need water to wash it down like you would with metal flakes.
The problem with that thought, VegasDev, is that saliva is incredibly acidic, too. It essentially acts the same as regular digestive juices in breaking down food.
Yes, saliva does help soften and break down food, but it is nowhere near as acidic as the stuff in your stomach. The only reason the digestive juices dont burn right through your stomach wall is that the stomach has its own mucus lining.

« on: June 05, 2008, 01:38:43 PM »So, we have some new insight into Reen's voice. Brandon said in one of his new annotations (Mistborn 2, Chapter 34, to be exact,) about Reen's voice that it was,Quote-partially a representation of her subconscious-
Now, this to me sounds as if it must also partially be something outside of her subconcious, such as Ruin or Preservation. It's not much, but I think it's worth mentioning.
very interesting....i think to find out what the outside agent manipulating her is, we need to find a motive. Who would want to sow doubt and distrust in her life? What is accomplished by that?

Well, first of all The Lord Ruler was a hemalurgist, and didn't have any visible spikes. He did have piercings, however. Also, perhaps it takes more death to hemalurgize? is that a word? to hemalurgize eleven massive spikes than to do the same to a small earring.

« on: June 04, 2008, 11:55:41 PM »...the only hole i saw is there can't be an atium spike. Marsh was helping the crew at the end of MB1 (as opposed to the end of MB2 when he is against them) and it would only take a single spike made of atium in one of the several Inquisitors that die at the end of the book to avert the money crisis in book 2. ...
It appears that Marsh didn't tell them much about Inquisitors, so it's possible that if they did have an atium spike, he didn't tell them about it either or even took them for his own means. Not saying this is the case, just playing da.
the only problem with that is he probably would have used it against Sazed. But i quite understand the DA

however, that doesn't mean seeking is their only ability. I believe them to be able to use all Allomantic abilities.

I do not think the Mist Spirit is Preservation. It may be an agent of Preservation, but not the big P itself. Why? Because it can't talk. We have heard what we think is Ruin in people's heads several times (Zane, possibly Inquisitors, possibly Vin)
and we have heard Preservation talk to Sazed. However, there have been several times when it would have been to the Mist Spirit's advantage to say something mentally (when Sazed discovers the torn pieces of manuscript, when Vin is in the Well) but it couldn't.

Hmm...only one thing with my theory. It means that Inquisitors must be mistborn, and there are some very good theories which say they aren't. Any evidence for or against?
