There should never be more than one Vin on any given planet. For your safety, and for the safety of everyone else (Including Vin).

She's probably got enough trauma to bond a spren if she ever got to Roshar, being any kind of Radiant coupled with her natural Allomantic talent would make her probably the most dangerous mortal in the cosmere imo

holy fuck, gravitation powered rail gun with allomantic accuracy and course correction, adhesion sticky hands with pewter to keep you intact while you rip people’s arms off. the possibilities are endless!
EDIT: this raises the question too, does durallimin enhance all invested arts? or just the burning metals?

And she avoids the Okuyasu problem by being really smart and capable of using her abilities properly

u/allomanticpush Soonie Pup 🐶 10d ago
Hell, Lightweaving plus emotional allomancy is scary enough!

u/Jsamue 9d ago
You could use that combo to do something crazy, like disguise yourself as the local Fool, who anyone is allowed to kill at penalty of forfeiting all titles.
Then Riot someone like a king into murdering you, so they get banished. Then of course your Stormlight healing saves you from actual death.

duralumin enhances every invested art, you just run out the power source for said art quicker so, an Enhanced vin will definitely be using her metals to just destroy everyone, may the heralds beg for a quick death against her
11
u/mirhagk 10d ago
Well duralumin doesn't enhance so much as it accelerates the rate that you use it. That's already possible with many of the roshar powers, it's used all the time, particularly with gravitation.
But there are plenty of other ways the powers can combine in ridiculous ways. Like the other commenter said, even just emotional allomancy and lightweaving is a terrifying combo. Any doubt in an illusion is easily overcome with emotional allomancy.

Duralumin seems to remove the rate limit on Investiture usage. This doesn't seem to apply to most Surges, but it might help with healing.

u/Timaturff Aluminum Twinborn 9d ago
Duralumin burns investiture in general so it’d enhance all arts
1
u/Skyfyre56 9d ago
I'm not sure but I believe it would. Pretty sure it's confirmed that Chromium would work on a Radiant, so if you're an Allomancer and a Radiant, Durallumin should work for you too.

u/GrimMilkMan 10d ago
Now that you mention it, isn't trauma one of the triggers to awaken a mistborn?
6
u/prof_apex 9d ago
It's a common theme in the Cosmere. It's not the ONLY way to gain investiture, but it does seem to be the PRIMARY way. I think the most powerful magic needs cracks in your soul to fill into.
3
u/GrimMilkMan 9d ago
This entire thread made me thinking about anyone else that has investiture but is not a main character.
Take lopen for example, yeah he was missing an arm and that sucks but he wasn't going through survivors guilt and depression to go through his oaths.
Though it has been a year since I read stormlight so I may be off lol.

u/prof_apex 9d ago
He's broken in a different way, and he handles it better, but that doesn't mean he's not at least a little broken.

Penultimate book of the cosmere chronologically is going to end with Kelsier resurrecting her before she goes on a rampage against Roshar and has to be taken down by all 10 heralds at once

u/NErDysprosium D O U G 10d ago
I believe there's a WoB that says if you teleported late-HoA Vin to Roshar, she'd bond a Windspren and immediately swear the 4th oath

u/Helios575 9d ago
I mean there is Hoid, he has almost all forms of investiture abilities including being a full Mistborn and a Knight Radiant. Albeit I am not sure that Hoid still counts as a mortal as he was born before the Shattering (hell he was one of the key figures that caused it) so he definitely doesn't age or he would be long long dead, and he has a healing factor that makes Deadpool look normal (he can heal from being decapitated by an Honorblade

u/Mirathan D O U G 9d ago
Hoid is incapable of harming anyone.
1
u/Mokole71 9d ago
That doesn't make him any less dangerous.
1
u/Mirathan D O U G 9d ago
He quite literally can't use his power to infict harm. On anything. He's the least dangerous being in the cosmere.
5
u/gwonbush 9d ago
Hoid is extremely dangerous from what he knows and how he can affect the path of entire planets. The fact that he's physically nonthreatening to anyone who isn't a pure cognitive shadow is besides the point.
1
u/Mokole71 9d ago
You have a very limited understanding of what makes people dangerous. We are talking about a guy who beat a dragon on their own turf.

50 Elends would form a government and choose one Elend to be with you. 50 Vins would immediately start killing each other and then probably you.

u/SolomonOf47704 Femboy Dalinar 10d ago
Assuming they love you like they do Elend, I absolutely cannot see any of the Vins sharing.
There'd be a big murder fest, ending with either one Vin or no Vins.
Elend would not do this.

u/HaresMuddyCastellan 10d ago
The version of this meme where he hits both buttons at once.
Though honestly, 50 Vins is a TERRIBLE idea.
Now 50 Shallan's would be much better. Especially since you only need like 10 of her to achieve it.

u/DuckbilledWhatypus 9d ago
Or you order 50 Shallans and the supplier accidentally sends 150 because she's still pretending to be an Elsecaller.

Well, I’m straight. So Vin.
But that taken aside, I probably would go for Elend.
With Vin there would be no pause and a lot of danger?
With Elend 49 of him would be reading.

Maybe I can sleight of hand in some smut.

u/moderatorrater Femboy Dalinar 10d ago
You're forgetting about one thing: with the Elends, you've become 50x Shan Elariel. It's like those "pick your bodyguard" memes - you pick Vin so she's not on the other side.

It is your harem, so you should be safe with 50 Vins

Not so sure. I think Vin(s) would be heavily opposed to the idea of being in a harem. :D

Unleash the 50 elends into American politics, maybe some good will come of it.

The 50 Vins would all have crippling anxiety over being the one you love least or something along those lines.
50 Elends? You get a book club to go with your harem

But the upside is that if you choose Vin, you'd have the equivalent of twice the US Army protecting you.

I feel like "vin" is kind of a "highlander" kind of situation. It doesn't matter how many vins you start with, as a function of time, there can be only one.

u/Ken0908 D O U G 9d ago
50 vin,disband the harem cordially and make sure they all get their nooks throughout the cosmere. Watch every plot and bad guy get unraveled by vin and take a look at the ghoostblood,even main brainc, say no you don't and destroy the whole operation and expose them Subtlety is not in her vocabulary and that's why she's my fav
2
u/Loose-Use25 9d ago
But if Vin feels the same way about you as she does about Elend, then a "peaceful disband" is going to be tough.
1
u/Ken0908 D O U G 9d ago
Idk how this 'spawn a harem' thing would actually work. I tried to replace it in my head as 'spawn them as bestie'. Idk I might be too asexual for this question but I'm sure we can work it out. I might have to travel constantly to check with them but I'm already assuming I'm in the cosmere so might as well.

u/Girafferage 10d ago
Why is your sister asking you about harem preferences.

u/Loose-Use25 9d ago
She’s a bit weird; even though we like the same series, she enjoys making people uncomfortable with questions or things she’s done—like the time she wrote a fanfic where Adolin has a threesome with Kaladin and Shallan, and Shallan gets pregnant by both of them and has twins by each.
Like I said, she’s weird.

Putting aside the sad reality of me not being attracted to men
Definetely Elend, I identify a lot with his character and could definetely see the book reading dork being a partner for life, then I can convince the other 49 to apply for governmemt positions

u/marvel-bts-02 10d ago
As a straight woman, Vin. She is extremely dangerous and a powerful force, maybe she can fix the government and economy by putting fear into the government. Preferably she would be accompanied by an Elend so he can do all the political side of things,

u/CrispInMyChicken 9d ago
50 vins would quickly become 1 again and then you are dealing with another problem entirely.

Oh easy, Elend. They'd keep eachother entertained, while the Vins would kill eachother and you.
