#hemalurgy

[rivenantiqnerd]

I think pierced ears and earrings are cool and all, but I’m not a fan of wearing earrings all the time because they allow the evil god of change and war and destruction to influence your thoughts emotions and actions and prevent the god of safety and peace and preservation from helping you and giving you extra superpowers and letting you share references to your favorite book series.

Wait wait wait, did Odium use hemalurgy on Moash? Like, for real? Is it even posible outside of Scadrial? It didn't look like he used metal spikes specifically, but come on, spikes in his eyes sounds pretty familiar... Also, this is terrible.How did they learn about it? What does it mean?

Slightly moving away from stormlight, but staying in the same universe...

Questioner: Could you use Hemalurgy to steal Surgebinding?

Brandon Sanderson: Absolutely, you could steal Surgebinding with Hemalurgy.

*crowd laughs*

Brandon Sanderson: Booooo, you should be scared of that.

[asteroidfieldgame]

Do you think Marsh's life is about to get a lot worse when Scadrial invents computers and he can't read the screens with his hemalurgic eyes?

[capricandoitall]

Stormlight Archive brain mush. SPOILER THOUGHTS.

Fucking. Inquisitor. Moash????

What the actual fuck. Gotta say, the Cosmere did not need Odium inventing hemalurgy-meets-void-light crystal spikes. Who told Odium about hemalurgic spikes??? I feel like this one is on Kelsier and his minions, and if I didn't find myself wanting to kick Kelsier's ass on the regular already.....

[plagger]

had a mistborn 3:50 am thought:

the funniest cover for a hemalurgy business would be an acupuncture clinic imo

[sazed-s-faith-crisis]

Where's my fucking allomantic pewter Dexcom??

I have one (Yes Im diabetic shut up)

SANDERSON GIVE ME PEWTER

Petition to make Dexcom join the Set so I get magic

[purple-egg-yolk]

Could regrowth be used to reconnect part of someone’s spirit web that’s taken out with hemalurgy?

Spoilers for the lost metal by Brandon Sanderson:

We know that hemalurgy now can take out just part of someone’s soul, so if someone had the spike, person and access to regrowth, could they reconnect their spirit web? Also could someone have a spike made of them and then somehow get the spike back and put it in themselves and have their soul back?

[wyndlerunner]

That’s where hion comes from???

I didn’t think Sanderson could make another magic system as horrific as hemalurgy but DAMN this one might do it

[cmchill]

if you were in n mistborn (either era), what power would you want? feruchemist, allomancer, twinbirn with/without compounding, hemalurgy, etc?

Oooo that's an excellent question thanks much for asking!

I've always particularly loved the feruchemists' power. Something in me has always craved to store my excesses for times of need. My extra wakefulness, my extra speed, my extra mental acuity, YES to all of it!

If I could be a full Keeper, I would be so so happy.

I know I haven't fully considered all the implications of various twinborn combos and compounding abilities but seriously. Let me make banks of physical and mental (and spiritual?? we don't know much about powers like Fortune) resources for myself for times of stress and trial, saved from times of rest and plenty.

Good Friday Thought

if Jesus existed in the Cosmere, could the nails in His hands and feet be used as hemalurgic spikes to imbue someone with His attributes?

[piano-hoarder]

Guys

I think they might've been practicing hemalurgy in medieval times.

Intelligence Intercept Title: 'Series Choir' Source Location: Unknown, Neutral Space

[The recording starts.]

[The rhythm of curiosity can be heard in the background as someone else speaks. The consistent rustling of papers can be heard.]

First of all, I have to admit that Lurin has been extremely useful. I thank the council for their aide. [The last words are spoken in a rough imitation of the rhythm of Praise. The rhythm in the background changes to Appreciation momentarily, the rhythm in the background stops as another speaker speaks.]

The changes to the brains and vocal cords makes Choristers as alien to Singers as Singers are alien to Humans. [Spoken to Confidence.]

Maybe to you.

It is fascinating honestly- [Spoken to Reprimand.]

I've listened to several audio recordings Isso left in this facility. The mixing of rhythms was a unique experience to hear, they do sound like four harmonious voices speaking at once, each voice just happens to be attuned to a different rhythm. T- [Spoken to Excitement which changes to Irritation as the other speaker speaks.]

It sounds like a quartet that sing the same lyrics but can't agree on the song to me. It makes me very uncomfortable to listen to.

As I was saying, you did agree to let me speak in the reports. [Spoken to Annoyance.]

Sorry.

He seems to have changed to audio recordings sporadically throughout this process. [Spoken to Curiosity.]

It is obvious that he is significantly damaged and that his spren have been twisted through those recordings. [Spoken to the Terrors.]

It is through miscellaneous comments he makes throughout those recordings that we know more specific numbers for those that perished during his experiments. [Spoken to the Lost.]

In particular, he's been responsible for hundreds, even thousands of Parshendi disappearances across the Cosmere over the decades this 'project' was actively being worked on. Unfortunately, he never detailed how exactly he was able to accomplish this while avoiding detection. [Spoken to the Terrors.]

[Humming to Peace can be heard along with the rustling of clothes.]

We learned that many of the individualistic changes he induced seems to have been primarily aesthetic rather than purely functional. Which follows along well with his prior Hemalurgic constructs. [Spoken to Resolve.]

A storming deranged mind. He doesn't do any of this with a goal in mind beyond 'I can'. [Humming to Resignation can be heard along with the background comment.]

I have to agree, it has been hypothesized that he has an initial idea but no goal for the idea when he begins to work on them… [Spoken to Tension.]

I recommend a small group try to figure out what he may become fascinated with. If we can catch him before he does something else, its a win for us. If he stays in his hole for the rest of time because nothing else catches his attention, that's also a win I argue.

[Humming to Consideration can be heard in the background.]

The next few reports will be what we've compiled on particular 'True Surge Choristers'. We have some specifics on personality, appearance, and 'basal surge adaptations'.

[Humming to Excitement can be heard in the background. It suddenly changes to Consolation abruptly. By the end of the dialogue it changes to Anticipation.]

[The recording ends.]

Cosmere Theory

There are a lot of people that don’t understand how Kelsier got his current body. I’ve come up with a theory based on canon principles.

It relies on the concept of Identity. Everything has identity. Sticks, rocks, even knapsacks that sat unused on a shelf. This includes bones. Bones have very strong identity, and Kelsier’s especially. 

Since he indeed has his own bones (TenSoon guarded them throughout book 3 and I have zero reason to think they were lost), Kelsier also has the innate identity of his cognitive and spiritual aspects. This, combined, created a template.

I theorize that in nailing his soul to his skeleton, the flesh built up around it. In seconds, but it was still a process. Tendons, organs, skin, all building up around this cage that fits his own identity. It explains the scars on his arms; Kelsier sees them as part of himself, rather than before his time in the Pits.

The “Flesh Mech” is a living body. He still has all the needs a real body has. But if that body is harmed or destroyed, he can find a new one. 

Read below the cut for information regarding my OC, Mauve!

For Mauve, Kelsier had the Kandra find a very well used set of bones of centuries ago. The bones have had a long time for the Identity to wane. So Mauve’s bones, while borrowed, allowed her spiritual and cognitive self to overwrite what little they had left. Kelsier took a spike in the eye, Mauve, a spike between two ribs.

fun game for you all.

suppose u were a twin born and had access to 3 hemalurgic spikes of ur choice, what abilities would you want?

side note: hemalurgy cannot give compounding

id be a duralumin twinborn with allomantic pewter, steel, and electrum spikes

feruchemical duralumin would be great as not only could i essentially make myself invisible by being so damn forgettable, i could also immediately make friends with some of the most powerful people in the worlds due to compounding. plus i always wanted to learn a new language, this counts right?

the pewter and steel r mainly to stay alive and get around.

and the electrum is there so i can duralumin boost it to see into the spiritual realm for a good second. who knows what id find out with that. plus seeing ur immediate future can also be helpful, especially when flying around with steel.

side question: what does duralumin boosted gold do??
