That's true, I don't know why I didn't remeber that. That was really dumb on my part
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.

Well I wasn't there. The theories we seem to be coming up with lead to different conclusions and this conclusion seems logical with everything we have discussed

I can see that, the 15th and 16th metal's being Ruin and Preservation. Maybe something trapped them into the metal's/well's for the safety of the world or something like that. I think it would really tie everything together nicely

I hat to bring everybody down on this, but I just don't see any evidence that a metal infised with another magic sustem's power being used by Allomancy.
Vin couldn't use Sazed's Feruchemical ring that she tried to swallow.

I am a an of the entire series and I am REALLY disapointed in the everything I just saw.
Skar you are right, Richard is supposed to be massively muscular. Able to kill you with his bare hands. He is supposed to be at home in the woods. This guy is tiny, and seems like he would be scared of his own shadow at night.
And the scene where Kahlan releases her power! A confessor's power supposed to be a concussion with no sound. Everybody is supposed to feel this in her vicinity. And the scene where you see her fighting seems like the one at the beginning of book one where shee is running from the Quad, looking for the first wizard. She doesn't have a sword there and she runs into Richard who saves her, she doesn't fight them,
This is so frustrating, reading what Terry wrote and seeing that crap on screen.

How can you say that Hemalurgy doesn't bestow Allomantic powers? Marsh was only able to burn bronze before he became a Steel Inquisitor and now he can burn tin.
Unless what you mean is that Hemalurgic powers may interact and be the same as Allomantic powers, but that seems unlikely to me as it seems that none of the magic systems seems to link together separately. They can work together if a person has more than one pwer but they don't seem to be interactive on their own. Vin couldn't gain Sazed's power enhanced ring (I don't remember which one it was) when she bruned it.

Why would they need to be Allomantic? Hemalurgy bestowes Allomantic powers, maye that"s enough. Or its always possible that Allomantic powers have nothing to do with feeling the pulses. Maybe its just Ruin, or whoever/whatever's way of communicating with a person to do what they want.

do you know where, because having piercings does not mean he had Hemalurgy?

I believe that the only thing that we can be sure of is that Rashek had Ferumchemy. Feruchemy is hereditary, so is Allomancy, once a person snaps. Hemalurgy seems to be something that can be obtained through certain rites. It is unsure if Alendi had any powers.

What if Alendi stopped feeling the pulses? It is unclear if that might be the case. Maybe Alendi stopped getting the pulses, or maybe Rashek got them as well, leading them to a direct confrontation

I don't think that there is mention of two wells in any prophecy, just the one.
I also don't think its clear as to when Rashek got his Hemalurgic powers.

Maybe Alendi did not get pulses in his mind like Vin because Ruin realized that Alendi wouldn't what Ruin wanted and Ruin changed its tactics

I don't think we know for sure that TLR had no piercing, just none that were visible. Maybe they were hidden under his bracers, or maybe they were on his ankles, so that nobody could see. Also, I think a piercing could be under the skin, I mean all a piercing needs to be a piercing is to pierce the skin, maybe he pierced the sking then let his skin heal over it. Just thinking

I don't think there is any mention whether or not Alendi had any power at all. He might have had Allomantic powers.
