The Comprehensive Hemalurgy Thread

I think that is what i am saying, the Terris would not have supported him if it was as violent as it is now. Something must have changed. And while your idea about the more the violence the greater the power does make sense, it is not supported by the book. Vin's sister still died just to give Vin a little earring.

But it was ALENDI with the piercings. o.O

The headings being from Rashek was actually initially chaos' idea, IIRC

Right now, I do not know whether (by reading the MB3 Sample Chapter 1) they are made by someone who merely believes himself to be the Hero of Ages, or someone who actually has irrefutable evidence that he is that mystical Hero spoken of in the Terris Prophecies before Ruin got a hold of them.

I'm going to go with Rashek until something proves it otherwise, though.

I'm with Chaos on this one.

So, back at home now and actually took the time to read the posts I skipped over last time.

This kind of makes sense, but also does not. For all we know, it could have been every bit as violent. The terris would then just follow him because of a) fear, or b) they do not know the process to create hemalurgists (like us!!!) So you could get around that. And the greater the violence, the greater the power does seem to make sense as well, though for some reason I find myself not liking it. It's possible, though.

[Miyabi]

It is just a hunch but I think that's how it works.

[Reaves]

i wonder though if you need something special to become a hemalurgist. I mean, why not sacrifice Vin and give the powers to the other sister? I don't think Vin would be manifesting Allomantic abilities at the age of four or whatever she was then.

Maybe Ruin could already see that she was the HoA?

I think the bumps are written by the mist spirit , but that's just me...

I doubt it, but I suppose it's possible. We just don't know enough about Ruin's capabilities to figure anything out. grr.

[Miyabi]

Why don't we all go on strike until we get more chapter!?!?! xP  J/k ha ha.

[Comatose]

I'm guessing some people might be glad to be rid of us, our frequent off topic tangents and crazy posts are bound to get annoying.  Maybe we wouldn't be missed.  And do any of us really have the power of will to hold out?  All it would take is for one of us to break and post something incredibly brilliant or rediculous and we'd all come flocking back, chapter or no chapter.

[Miyabi]

Yeah, there are probably a ton of people that just skim to see if it's anything interesting and then leave cause we're so tangential in our ravings.

[Comatose]

Once again, back to the topic...
I don't think Ruin can see into the future, that would seem beyond his capabilities, why would he need to be looking for something if he already knew where to find it?  How could he be defeated (we know he's going to be defeated), when he can see any attack coming long before it get's there and has time to prepare.  I don't think he could see the future, but I'm guessing he could sense Vin's allomancy, we already know that Ruin can manipulate metalminds, that means he can sense feruchemy right, why not allomancy (even dormant allomancy as well).
On another side not, do Feruchemists snap?
