Interview #1101: Mistborn: The Well of Ascension Annotations, Entry #35

Brandon Sanderson (Chapter 12)

This chapter is meant to be our ‘pay off’ chapter for the time we’ve invested into Sazed over the last few chapters. I, personally, think it’s the coolest chapter in this section of the book.

Feruchemy really turned out well as a magic system, and I’m glad I found a place for it in this book. It connects with Allomancy perfectly; I’m actually surprised at how well they go together. (As you may recall, I originally tried out Feruchemy in a book I now call Final Empire Prime.)

Here, you finally get to see some REAL Feruchemical tricks. Sazed can do so much more than just make himself strong (like he did in book one) or memorize things. If you think about it, there are an awful lot of things that can be done to intertwine Allomancy—with its Pushes and Pulls—and Feruchemy, where a person can increase or decrease their weight.
