    Started reading an excerpt of the first Mistborn. Light spoilers, but had a clarification question.

    When Kelsier kills the plantation owner, all the guards, and the rest of his crew and then torched his plantation, the books mentioned something about “burning tin” and that he was an allomancer. He supposedly ate a bunch of tin then was able to manipulate it in his stomach to heighten his abilities. Am I correct on assuming this is how that particular school of magic works?

    Correct. Each metal gives a different ability, some people can use all metals, others just one.

    Just a wild guess, but I'm starting to warm to the idea that Winds of Winter isn't going to be released.

    Going back through this thread and seeing each user independently come to this conclusion is really what this thread is all about.

    Things like this were from a more innocent time.

    It saddens me how long you’ve been holding out hope. I started in ‘04 or ‘05 and came to peace with the fact we were done years ago. Been trying to get GoodForAnother to delete the board.

    edit: Imurhuckleberry sorry it was bigpig that just came to the realization not you.
