Usuario:Allomancer Jak/questions

Here is where I will keep a list of questions to ask Brandon Sanderson when the opportunity arises.

God metals

We know Lerasium can make people Allomancer, because it is Preservation's power in solid form. However, we also know it can do other things.If someone knew what they were doing, could they use Lerasium to create a new magic system powered by Lerasium?

Could they do the same with atium? we know that Atium is solid Ruin. Brandon has also said that it's common uses are mere side effects.

Do the god metals give the ability to change one's own spiritual DNA in any way they like, using the power of their shard? this seems a likely use of these, being the power of the shards themselves. It also seems to fit with Atium, when duralumin powered, granting access to the spiritual realm (as Elend discovered for us)

Shards

Can a splintered shard be restored? We have seen that Ruin and Preservation were mingled and turned into Harmony when Sazed took them both and they intermingled. If this is possible, then perhaps the splintered shards' pieces (or at least, enough of them) can be gathered by one person, and restored to it's whole state.

Along a similar vein, If all the shards are brought together, held by the same Vessel, will that be a restored Adonalsium?

misc

Speaking of Adonalseum, the name sounds quite a bit like the term 'ad nauseam.' Is the name Adonalseum somehow derived from the term 'ad nauseam'?

Is Wyrn actually capable of seeing the future?

Is this because he is a Sliver?
