The Alloy of Law: Difference between revisions

<!-- %% Character Sheet]] that needs more love. -->

 

 

* [[Accidental Aiming Skills]]: Wax jokes that he once hit a criminal in the eye with a throwing knife while aiming for his balls.

* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Marasi, Waxillium and ''Wayne''.

* [[A God Am I]]: Miles

* [[Axe Crazy]]: Bloody Tan, the villain of the prologue. Also several other criminals from Wax and Wayne's [[Backstory]] are mentioned in passing.

* [[Badass]]: Wax, Wayne, and Miles.

* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: Rust and Ruin! Might also be considered a form of [[Oh My Gods]], since Ruin actually ''is'' a (admittedly dead) god in-universe (rust isn't, but makes sense as a curse considering the importance of metal).

** Ruin isn't actually dead, only {{spoiler|Ati}}, who was the previous holder of Ruins shard, is. Ruin's shard was taken up by {{spoiler|Sazed}}, along with the shard of Preservation, forming Harmony.

* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart Anyway]]: Marasi feels this way about her Allomantic ability {{spoiler|but it ends up being instrumental in stopping Miles.}}

** Aluminium and duralumin Mistings follow this trope to the letter however. Both their metals have no effect except on other metals that the user is burning; aluminum instantly depletes a Mistborn's reserves of all metals, and duralumin works as a sort of "super-flare" for any other metals being burned at the time, depleting it all in an instant for a single massive effect. Both of these are only useful to full Mistborn, however, as they are the only people who can burn more than one metal- and since there are no Mistborn anymore, those people unlucky enough to be aluminum or duralumin Mistings essentially have no powers at all.
