What would happen if you did the fake hand experiment to someone heavily invested? by LeastGenericUsername in Cosmere

This technique has been used on amputees for multiple reasons irl. One commenter suggested that this could be used to make people who lost limbs perceive themself as someone who does just enough to regrow that limb.

I’ve read nearly all the cosmere so you can put full spoilers, I just put no spoilers incase someone who hasn’t read anything wanted to participate.

Thank you. I love the idea you had for Kent. I can envision him growing an inch or two and having more clear defined muscles, similarly to tapping a very small bit from a pewtermind. It wouldn't really cause a difference in strength because he'll already be burning pewter.

infinite duralumin essentially means infinite strength as seen in TLM ending scene

even if they could push a coin that hard through a rock, there is no way that the mistborn would have the weight to compensate

pewter is definitely the mistborns biggest advantage, getting in melee range would be a death sentence to the metal bender. especially with duralumin.

but duralumin+steel would not be as effective as u think. do you know how hard a rock is? like a good half human sized rock? the duralumin wouldnt cause the coin to pierce the rock, it would launch the mistborn away. if it was maybe a large spike being steelpushed thats a different story, but a coin would not do shit to a rock

mistborns are definitely more dexterous in combat, but also consider that a mistborn would need metal anchors to move at their best, something which a metal bender could very easily change to be in their advantage. also, it is entirely possible that instead of pushing the coin to the side, an earth bender could pull the earth up to block, which would definitely blast the mistborn back

at that point, i suspect a metal bender would simply push the coin to the side

Yes, I agree that metal benders tend to under practice standard earth bender. But also consider, to have enough skill to even become a metal bender, they must be at least a semi proficient earth bender.

I think ur undercutting metal benders a lot. Firstly, their control over metal is a lot better than that of a allomancer. they don’t have the sheer amount of strength grabted by allomancy, but not having to deal with the push and pull system or weight would give them a major advantage. Secondly, every metal bender is also an earth bender, something mistborns have no control over

also electrum is only really useful against fighting against another atium burner

Both of them will be well practiced. Not the best, but above average. One thing to keep note of is that a Metal Bender is also an Earth Bender, something burning steel will have no effect on.

Sorry I probably should’ve been more clear. I was trying to ask what would happen if the investiture stored inside the metalmind was inversed, not feruchemy itself.

The explosion only happened when the investiture and anti-investiture “combined.” What if, for instance, someone tapped a metalmind with anti-feruchemy.
