Interview #1049: WOR Signing Report - Kurkistan, Entry #3

Kurkistan

What would happen if you shot a Thug with an aluminum bullet or stabbed him with an aluminum knife?—[Note: Brandon initially misunderstands the question, as you shall see.]

Brandon Sanderson

Ah, that’s a good question. And, um.. the wound would not be able to heal around the aluminum, but once the aluminum came out, and was gone from the system, they would be okay.

Kurkistan

Wait, is that a Bloodmaker, not a Thug?

Brandon Sanderson

Oh, you’re talking about Thu— Oh, okay. Yeah, ummm… It would work similarly, but it really wouldn’t really have a huge effect on them.

Kurkistan

Ah, okay. ‘Cause Peter was implying that there was some weird aluminum interaction with Thugs.

Brandon Sanderson

What was he thinking of… There is some weird interaction but—

Kurkistan

< rudely interrrupts > In the wedding scene [in Alloy of Law ] Wax thinks that they would have aluminum bullets to deal with Thugs and I was like “oh that’s a typo” and Peter was like “oh no it’s not…”

Brandon Sanderson

No no… That would just be—it’s like I said: healing it until the bullet is gone. It’s just the same as the Bloodmaker.

Kurkistan

< Various pleasantries from me apologizing for all the confusion >
