KChan she/her Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Since there's already a thread for Allomantic Mistings, I thought I'd add this one. Brandon has mentioned that, in the future, Feruchemy will split, similar to how Allomancy did, resulting in Feruchemical Mistings. My question for you is: out of the metals whose functions we already know, which power would you choose if you could become a Feruchemical Misting? For me, the answer is easy: copper. Having as much knowledge as I want at my fingertips (er... braintips?) just by wearing some copper jewelry is pretty much awesome. What about y'all?

Munin he/him Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Zinc. Being able to think faster on command would be pretty useful. Although storing it up would probably be a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KChan she/her Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Sazed and the Terris packmen mentioned in the logbook (and those Inquisitors who were given Feruchemical health spikes) seemed to have a dedicated time during which they filled their metalminds. Perhaps you could spend an hour before bed filling your zincminds when they get low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leinton Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I'm a geographer. I kind of HAVE to go with copper. Being able to memorize EVERY bit of spatial information in the world, and being able to remember it at will? <3 Also, I just love learning.

KChan she/her Posted September 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Same here, only replace the word "Geographer" with "Linguist". Copperminds, to me, would be useful purely for the ability to memorize massive lexicographies in one sitting. Talk about awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silus - Shard of Flame he/him Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Perhaps we should have a list of the different metals and their Feruchemical powers, since Feruchemy has thus far all been lumped together, it would make it easier for everyone to know what their options are. Iron - Stores Physical Weight Steel - Stores Physical Speed Tin - Stores Senses Pewter - Stores Physical Strength Zinc - Stores Mental Speed Brass - Stores Physical Warmth Copper - Stores Memories Bronze - Stores Wakefulness Atium - Stores Youth Gold - Stores Health For fun stuff, I'd probably go with Steel, for camping I'd go with Brass, and for everything else, I'd go with probably Zinc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeralis00 she/her Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 I would go with Zinc. Yeah, a lot of people would pick that too, but its just that good. certainly would help me with math... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycoltbug Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Gold, the ability to heal yourself through when you are sick or injured would be hugely useful and invaluable. Imagine jumping off 20 foot cliff just to land and keep running because you healed your injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KChan she/her Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 That's provided you survive the fall to begin with, though, and have large enough goldminds to heal yourself. Gold is expensive, after all. Copper is still my first choice, but Bronze would be incredibly useful as well. I'd love to be able to actually get out of bed at a reasonable pace to get ready for class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zas678 he/him Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 You know what? I'm going to take a random stab in the dark. I'll be a Bendalloy fuerchemist! You know, we really should come up with a name for Feruchemal mistings. Fuerchists? Chemists? Chems? Metalings? Maybe we should just ask Brandon what the name is, for clarification purposes. (I would've gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those metaling chems!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finallity he/him Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I'm pretty sure they're called chemings, unless I misunderstood Brandon when I asked him about this. And Cadmium or Bendalloy would be my choice, assuming that they are related to their allomantic uses and can store time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe ST he/him Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 I'm going to go with Iron, especially if you can store the weight of what you're carrying at the same time. You could go storing with like an army pack thing, and then go walk in front of a bus (saving a pram thats going to be crushed by it) whilst using the stored stuff up...AWESOME! Tin sounds a good one for tripping out on if you can control what you store/use whilst you sleep (or keep a Cruise up without concentrating), you could rank up the storing when you go to bed and get a perfect sleep And Cruising on Bronze would be pretty cool: sleep deeply and store loads, use it (boringly) to get work done or (more fun) to do fun stuff. Especially if it improves concentration. I guess Cruising would be Savant-ish. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyRioter she/her Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) Copper or Bronze. Copper is obvious, never forget anything again, and with bronze you could store it up when you aren't busy and have time to sleep a lot, and tap it when you are busy and be able to use the extra hours to get everything done. Also if you are having insomnia you just store wakefulness and then hey presto no more insomnia. Maybe not very exciting, but definitely useful!

SOM1else he/him Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Copper, penny in my pocket used as a coppermind= straight A's for the rest of my life in school, I still would have to study of course but just long enough to store it so I can recall it on the homework/tests. unless I was a Iron/Steel misting also because then I would want to be an Iron chemist so I could store weight, burn my storages, store the result of that, repeat two or three times, then use all of that wieght to push/pull anything regardless of wieght.

SOM1else he/him Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Ok I just saw the Alloy of Law synopsis and It looks like the main character has the same iron+steel/iron combo I would have choosen, only he wouldn't be able to burn his metalminds for extra power.

ZeldaDad he/him Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'd have to say Copper. I have a terrible memory and to be able to store them in a much more reliable fashion would be welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KChan she/her Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I forgot all about bronze; that would definitely be useful for school. I have issues getting up as early as I need to, sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silus - Shard of Flame he/him Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I gotta say, Copper would be great for theorizing, grabbing quotes, and other things related to foruming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordofsoup Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 i would definately take speed, but it would be awful to store it up. Any of the feruchemical powers would be. Imagine being dumb for a while to store it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine being dumb for a while to store it up. That's Brandon and his costly magic systems for you. I personally love that aspect of his writing. But... what if you dumbed down too much and forgot how to stop storing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyRioter she/her Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 well with physical speed you can do it when you are sitting or lying still anyway, like if you''re watching TV or just before going to sleep. That way it doesn't matter much. but yeah, being stupid for a while would suck. Although storing weight might actually be helpful in certain circumstances. Being light could be really useful.

ZeldaDad he/him Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Sazed actually used that to protect himself from potentially nasty falls, I believe. He did indeed. I remember this happening, though I couldn't tell you exactly when or where. That particular metal is a bit of a double-power in that sense.
