    Question

    If an Allomancer found themselves on Nalthis or Roshar, would they be able to use chromium on someone using Stormlight or Breath?

    Brandon Sanderson

    I am staying away from answering too many questions like that until I start having it happen. But do know that the magics interact... some ways they interact very naturally, some ways, they don’t. One way I’ve released is, you could use bronze on most forms of Investiture to find it. So you can extrapolate that some of these things would work. But not necessarily all. All of them could be made to work.

    Interview: May 22nd, 2015

    OK, so in the signing line, I asked the question about chromium vs a Compounder with both invested and uninvested metals in both their stomach and piercings.

    Brandon Sanderson

    1) Yes, the piercings will get burned off.

    2) The noninvested metals go before the invested ones. He said that because invested metals are harder to effect, it takes a little extra time and effort to get them to burn off. So a Leecher trying to clean out a Compounder would have to get a good grip and hang on for a few seconds.

    3) Chromium burns about as quickly as duralumin, so if you're trying to burn off a lot of metals, it is possible to run out of chromium before your target is clean. This would probably only be an issue when dealing with larger pieces (like jewelry) rather than your standard metal-flakes-in-the-stomach deal.

    Footnote

    Sorry I don't have exact quotes, but there was a line and no easy way to take notes. :D But what it boils down to is this:

    Interview: Apr 23rd, 2016

    Question

    In the original Mistborn series, where Leras plans the 1/16 Snapping, was he not aware of chromium and nicrosil?

    Brandon Sanderson

    He was aware that they were not aware of it. He was using the kind of vague ability in some of the Cosmere magics to read possibilities on the future. He was also already not completely there when he was building this.

    Question

    Are you ever going to show us nicrosil and chromium?

    Brandon Sanderson

    Yes I will.

    Footnote

    The kid who asked this question was, at most, 11 years old. Brandon employed him to run prizes around during the General Q&A to those who asked questions, which got the kid super excited

    Interview: Nov 29th, 2016

    Question

    You've mentioned before that Hoid ends up where he needs to be.

    Brandon Sanderson

    Yes, and usually without knowing why.

    Question

    Is Chromium involved in that?

    Brandon Sanderson

    Yes. Well, he's not necessarily using Chromium, but the underlying mechanic, yes.
