    Interview: May 22nd, 2015

    KayMyth

    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:

    Question

    Could a Leecher take away stores in a metalmind?

    Brandon Sanderson

    You’ll have to find out. That’s a RAFO.

    Interview: Feb 25th, 2016

    Question

    If you were a Leecher, could you destroy a Shardblade?

    Brandon Sanderson

    Umm...I'm going to RAFO that for now, let's just say that it would be incredibly difficult if it were possible, and I'm not going to even say if it is. The Investiture in a Shardblade is much greater than your average Allomancer, but...This type of thing is not unheard of in the cosmere. The larkin, the Leechers, and Nightblood all have a similar sort of thing going on. Destroying a Shardblade would be REALLY hard. And Investiture resists other forms of Investiture, so.
