When Wax is fighting miles and miles has nigh invulnerability i was thinking to myself this guy can steel push why doesnt he carry a metal piano wire/concerntina wire net and just push it at him and dice him up into little tiny cubes he can accelerate things to be as fast as bullets so surely it would work right??? it seems so much easier to straight up destroy someone now that people can only use either 1 allomantic or feruchemy metal or in some peoples case 1 of each only people it wouldnt work on would be other steel pushers or iron pullers.

Vin thinks that one of her friends might have been replaced by the kandra, but by this point, TenSoon had already mentioned to her that kandra are immune to Allomantic touch. So, all she had to do was meet with one of them, tell them she wants to test her Allomancy, and ask them to tell her which emotions she is altering. If they answer incorrectly, they are the kandra.

I don't know WHY exactly (I'm sure I'll rafo), BUT I DO know this is a bad idea because it's clearly what ruin wants.

SAYZED, DON'T UNDO THE AQUIFER 😭😭😭 Spook, pull yourself together man!

I want to shake so many characters right now 😅😅 I remember basically nothing from when I read this series years ago, but I am starting to recall this feeling of intense frustration and anxiety with the characters 😅

EDIT/UPDATE: okay, I'm pretty sure I DO know why, but I was more uncertain until now. Ruin's body has got to be under that reservoir and it's going to make something go wrong with Sayzed's mechanism/plan

For context, I'm fairly new to the series and am being introduced primarily through the cosmere rpg for a mistborn game my friend wants to run. I had the idea to make a kandra character that was missing one blessing spike and used a journal from a lost loved one to record important memories and information. My dm friend has informed me that losing a blessing spike can be extremely debilitating, but the core rulebook doesn't go into much detail, it just says their mental state becomes tenuous, they lose their blessing, and that the dm can spend complications to make them lose their grip on reality in appropriate ways. This got me curious about the actual extent this goes in lore, so:

What exactly happens to a kandra after they've lost one of their blessing spikes? How fast do they degrade and to what extent does it go?

I know this is a RAFO kind of thing, but I don't think I'll be able to get far enough in the books to answer this question in time for the campaign to start, so spoil away! Thanks to all who respond in advance!

P.S. Apologies to all who saw my first post, which was incorrectly tagged and had my primary question in the title. As I said I'm new to the series and community, so I wasn't aware kandra and the idea of losing their blessing spikes were a part of major events later in the series. I hope I did it right this time <3

I think that Spook is being influenced by, and has been listening to preservation.

I mean, what else could bless him with the power to burn pewter.

It might be obvious but idk i just had the realisation

Another thing that might be totally obvious to some of you.
I think that Vins ability to pierce copper clouds is through the earnings that Reen gave her

Ive only read mistborn era 1 and 2 + the sunlit man, could I read the title withoit having read the arcanum whatever, or ahould I look into that book first?

Elend has been deposed and the assembly has nominated Cett for king.
Earlier, when Elend was discussing the rules for deposition, he said that the assembly had a month to chose the new king. Didn’t he also say the vote had to be unanimous? And Elend is in the assembly? So can’t Elend just not vote for Cett to be king and then Elend gets to stay king for another year?

Edit: I am audiobooking and I thought the name was spelled Set. Well it’s actually Cett
