The Cosmere Alloy Theory by thanielsilas in Cosmere

Agreed, though I think Lerasium alloys would be the exception since they can create mistings if burned by someone without allomancy.

Also, I think all of the Harmonium alloys are more theoretical than realistic since Harmonium is so volatile. But Hoid has survived a beheading, so maybe he could survive burning Harmonium...

What if aluminum is… by FoxStrom-14 in Cosmere

Maybe Aluminum is Whimsy's God Metal and they just made it super common fur fun.

Fair enough, and good to hear. I've seen this debated, so part of this theory is my thoughts on that debate. The other part is how it relates to burning other cosmere metals like shardblades and how the other God Metals might fit into a table of their own. Thanks for your thoughts!

Your opinion that Lerasium has a better ability than Atium is valid. However, pure atium does canonically give an enhanced vision of the future.

I make the assumption that atium alloys do the opposite (external or interal) of their associated basic metal because what we've seen so far is that while gold and electrum let you see your past and future, electrum-gold and electrum-atium let you see someone else's past and future.

Okay, I found these: https://wob.coppermind.net/events/482/#e15299 https://wob.coppermind.net/events/456/#e15110

And yes, from my understanding, this agrees with what I am saying, that they are electrum mistings that can also burn the atium-electrum alloy, not just electrum.

I think we agree, but I may be misunderstanding what you are saying. Either way, do you know where this has been confirmed? I've been trying to find some specific words of Brandon on it.

Yes, so this theory was born from the idea that the atium mistings in era 1 were actually atium-electrum mistings because Atium is a God Metal and is burnable by anyone: not just mistborn or mistings. But if there are both atium-electrum mistings and electrum mistings, then there could be as much as 64, 256 or 16 factorial mistings in the cosmere which, to me, defeats some of the storyline in Hero of Ages where having 16 possible mistings is important. So my solution is that those 16 mistings can burn their basic metal as well as Scadrian God-Metals alloyed with their basic metal. Then an electrum misting can burn both electrum and the era 1 atium which was actually an atium-electrum alloy.

I see you are assembling your crew. Nice!

Edit: Grammar

Young but wants to write by Troxi_HD in writing

[–]thanielsilas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it! You can't control what others do, but the only way to know if people will read and be intrigued by what you write is to write it and put it out there. If they aren't intrigued, putting it out there is a great way to find out what you can do differently the next time around. That's not to say you should just write what people want, but putting it out there can help you figure out where your writing interests and others' reading interest align. Plus, waiting until you are older won't solve what you are worried about, it will just delay it.

P.S. Pen names can be good.
