Except doesn't Sazed say that Furchemy is of neither Preservation or Ruin?

Feruchemy is of both!

The origin of Feruchemy, and why only the Terris seem to have it, is still very much an open matter.

Pretty sure it says Feruchemy is of Preservation, Hemalurgy of Ruin, and Allomancy of both

I am quite certain that it is Allomancy is of Preservation, Hemalurgy is of Ruin, and Feruchemy is of both.

Even aside from my memory of the quote, Lerasium is Preservation solidified, and it makes you an Allomancer, not a Feruchemist.

Exactly.
Feruchemy - balance
Allomancy - Preservation
Hemalurgy - Ruin

And we aren't talking about Larasium now, but about potential Larasium-Atium alloy (my proposed name for this is laratium). And my theory is that such metal would make you into a Feruchemist.

Allomancy is absolutely of Preservation.

Quote
Allomancy, obviously, is of Preservation. The rational mind will see this. For, in the case of Allomancy, net power is gained. It is provided by an external source--Preservation's own body.

Sazed totally just called you all irrational ;) Hahaha.

Wasn't it said that an alloy of Larasium and another Allomantic metal would create a Mistling that could burn that metal.  Ajtium Mistlings (Seers) have been shown so I would assume that a Larasium-Atium alloy would just create a Mistling who can only burn Atium.

And that's the most obvious answer. But it's said that an Atium alloy with any metal would cause "various expanded physical and mental allomantic effects", or something like that. Besides, I don't think that Brandon would solve such interesting problem in such a way.

At least, Sazed thought it was obvious.
