Koloss17 She/They Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 I was thinking about a duralumin enhanced atium burst when I came up with a hypothetical scenario say a seer ingested leresium, making him a mistborn. He would have a very enhanced atium burn, but what would that do? Would you be able to see what another person’s reaction is to a certain move you make, allowing you to choose the best way of attack, or would something else happen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be similar to flaring Atium? I.e. an increase in the power of the burn? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I am thinking is that see the possible outcome of you attacking in a certain way before you attack, but you see many different ways you can attack, allowing you to choose the best of those outcomes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hoodie Mistborn he/him Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 From the Coppermind Quote Burning atium allows the user to see a few seconds into the future, by producing atium shadows of everything in sight. These shadows perform future actions. So to me, that means attacks, but also the reaction to your attacks, and/or anything else going on at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weltall Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 It seems like increased strength with A-Atium (whether you get it via hemalurgy or lerasium) would increase your efficiency, letting you get more out of the same amount of metal than a weaker user: Quote Oversleep (paraphrased) Allomantic strength. There are stronger Allomancers, they can burn metals faster, right? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) Yes, they can also squeeze more power out of it. They can use it more efficiently. Oversleep (paraphrased) So there is some loss of power along the way? How do savants work into that? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) Savants can use it way more efficiently. They are more Connected to the Shard. Closer to Spiritual Realm. Warsaw signing (March 18, 2017) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rask Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Are we sure that a Misting who ingested Laresium would become doubly powerful in the metallic art they had before becoming mist born? It sure seams like it should work this way but do we know for certain? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halyo_Alex he/him Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 I think there's a WoB on A-Atium or A-Electrum that a stronger misting/mistborn or savant would be able to push the shadows further, and seeing even further future events. but only a few seconds unless you were REALLY powerful, and at that point you might just break through to the Spiritual Realm a-la duralumin A-Atium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you would become a normal mistborn. Not a mistborn with an extra boost on your atium burning. Plus I’m pretty sure atium seers don’t exist anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More powerful atium burners atium savants for example can push the shadows out a bit farther. There is a limit though. Eventually you hit a "its full of stars moment(like Elend)" and you see the ultimate consequences of your actions by looking into the spiritual realm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would become stronger in any metal you had after burning Lerasium. Shardlet If Vin and Elend hypothetically each blindly ingested equivalently sized beads of lerasium, would Vin be a stronger Mistborn than Elend, or would they be equal? Brandon Sanderson Yes, Vin would be stronger. It is additive, not just an overwrite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ed Venture Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Quote Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) Lerasium overwrites Spiritual DNA. It can do some interesting things, and can overwrite your Spiritual DNA in different ways if you do it right. If a Surgebinder ate lerasium, he would become an Allomancer, but Brandon implied other things could be done. Alloy of Law 17th Shard Q&A (Nov. 5, 2011) This directly contradicts your WoB Also, the power difference Brandon mentioned can be explained by this WoB: Quote Questioner We were talking about Kelsier, and how he was much more powerful than most Mistborn, and how Vin was slightly more than most Mistborn... Brandon Sanderson Why were Vin and Kelsier more powerful? Questioner I know why Kelsier, but why Vin? Brandon Sanderson Vin was not more powerful. Vin just took to it very naturally. She was highly skilled. It was very instinctive to her, but Elend was actually more powerful than she was, if you count just raw power. Vin just knew her stuff. Beyond that Vin is a rare individual that for reasons I have not explained yet, was able to draw in the mists for a little extra boost at times. And there are other characters you have seen do this.

Brandon has changed his mind on the mechanics of his magic systems before. You need look no further then the Lord Ruler. Originally he said that the Lord Ruler used Hemalurgy to increase his power to what we saw in the books but has changed it so he "recreated" himself with the Well of Ascension. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connecting you to Preservation is just a side effect. There is a WOB that comes dangerously close to confirming that Lerasium's true function is to Connect you to the Shard/Magic of whatever godmetal it is alloyed to, thus being a Mistborn is a side effect of Conencting you to Preservation when no other Shard's investiture is provided as a Target. Quote Stormlightning If Hoid was to get his hands on "bavadinium," could he alloy it with lerasium and get Sand Mastery? Brandon Sanderson This is theoretically possible.

Elend didn't have to burn Pewter for long, the scene cut short when Vin realizes he's an Alomantico. She just needed to give him more pewter. Elend sold much of his unnecessary food possessions to the people in WoA. Suppose he doesn't live in splendor all the time. In addition there is metal remnants everywhere, including water. It's not so complicated to imagine that he had at least a few seconds of Pewter in his system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tglassy Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) So...I said this, but people apparently ignore it. Vin gave him one of her Allomantic vials to wash the Lerasium bead down. Elend had a full dose of Pewter in his system when he became a Mistborn.

I am referencing the scene where Vin ascends. She is essentially burning lerasium the entire time. Fueling her mists with alomancy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
