I was just rambling on r/WoT about how awesome you are but yeah. Awesome.
Will there be a sequel to Alloy of Law? It felt like there would be but I want to know for sure lol
Are Allomancer more or less common than in the time of the survivor?
First one: Yes, most likely.
Second one: They are more common, but slightly less powerful.

So the number 16 is importanton Scadrial, on pg 245, Wax is trying to find out where Miles is going to be next and he writes down the number "35.17" I couldn't help but notice that the 3+5+1+7=16, was that intentional or am I seeing things that aren't really there?
I slip it in here and there for fun, but it isn't actually important. It is fun when people notice it, though.

Are there 50 Allomantic Metals?
Nearly. Does Harmony have a metal?
Is that an alloy of Lerasium and Atium?
You're along the right lines.

Are there a limited amount of atium and lerasium alloys for each metal?
Hmm, yes…I suppose there would be but there are…
More than sixteen?
Yeah, way more than sixteen.
Oh wow. Okay. That's fascinating. More than sixteen and less than infinite.
Yes.

So, were the other remaining group of soldiers that fell sick all still mistings of the other base metals?
Yes.
So, did Preservation bump out one of the base metal types so those could be Atium mistings? And if so, which was it?
Yes, that's right. It would probably have been one of the metals that was difficult to get at that level of technology. It would have been Chromium - Chromium would be hard gather at that time. Actually, no, it would have been Aluminum. (about a minute later, while signing someone else's book) - Hold on, there's a caveat to that last answer. Let me finish signing this and expand on that. So, it would still have been Aluminum, but not for the reason your thinking. It would have been Aluminum, but there's an asterisk next to that answer.
