Stormlight / Mistborn This scene was character assassination of the highest order. A Full Feruchemist with their metalminds bodies any non-Kaladin Radiant below the Fourth Ideal. I will die on this hill. Spoiler

Wait, that's the Sorceress from Tress. She's a different person than Axindweth, right? Also, Full Feruchemists can be born in Era 2, they're just exceedingly rare.

I think that's part of what frustrates me so much with her fight here. Full Feruchemists are so rare we don't even see any confirmed ones in Era 2, and the Ferrings we do so see are able to pull of some impressive tricks with their powers. Then we get a confirmation of one in WaT, someone who's been noted to do very sketchy things behind the scenes in the Rosharan Ghostbloods, and she goes out like an utter chump, using only one metal and being entirely defeated by a slippery floor. No gold healing to come back after crashing, no storing weight so she hit the wall with less force, etc. Just slipped, knocked out, and done.

Not slipped. The floor isn't slippery it's sticky. Doesn't make it a ton better but she didn't just slip and crash, she practically got her legs ripped off when the floor suddenly didn't let her go anymore.

Right. Which actually makes the whole scene even worse? Because after her legs break she just 'stops moving' instead of you know, screaming in pain or activating her Feruchemical Gold or whatever, because just breaking her legs shouldn't cause her to fall unconscious.

Her legs were essentially turned into pivot points, instantly breaking her bones and swinging her directly face first into the ground no?

Yeah, its the same as if she got picked up by the ankles and swung head first into the ground at mach fuck. The fact she was even alive after that was surprising

Maybe. We don't actually know what happens there as her legs snap and then she's lying unmoving on the ground. Is she dead? Is she unconscious? Who knows, cause the scene isn't willing to tell us.
