Talk:Feruchemy
Commoditization of Metalborn Abilities
I think it is definitely worth expanding the section on Unsealed Metalminds to discuss Allomantic Unsealed Metalminds. Not sure if the main bulk of this discussion should occur in the Excisor page, or in a new page. I believe "the commoditization of allomancy" is mentioned in a Stormlight Ars Arcanum, if I'm recalling correctly? That implies that the practice is starting to become mainstream and not just a technology available to Southern Scadrians.
Seems like this will be a major subject in The Lost Metal, but we can definitely start documenting what we do know now and expand the section out when more is divulged.
See also my post in the Allomancy Talk page of the same topic title.

A section on the God Metals could make sense
God Metal-basic metal alloys aren't mentioned directly on the Feruchemy page at this point either. There is good discussion of this on the God Metal page, thinking it could be worth summarizing. Possible huge-spoiler impact of that is worth thinking about too though.

- Wajeemba, I think adding a one-sentence or so line to the paragraph that talks about the properties of lerasium and atium to just mention that God Metal alloys would also have Feruchemical properties, though what they are is unknown, could make sense. I don't think that would have much spoiler implications (though, that's not something we worry about much after a certain point); is there something more you had in mind?

- Stargazer, I added two sentences about God Metal-lesser metal alloys below the feruchemy table. Referenced back to the Ars Arcanum where Kriss postulates about the existence of different feruchemical abilities to avoid confusion about if this is spoiler for future work. I tied to the Shadows of Self arcanum because that's the W&W text that I have access to (I mostly listen on audio, which disappointingly don't include arcanum entries in the Era 2 recordings!). If someone is able to check the Alloy of Law arcanum it would be preferable to reference that for the entry about God Metal-lesser metal alloys & other potential feruchemical powers if it's in there.
