What would happen if you shot a thug with an aluminum bullet or stabbed him with an aluminum knife?
Brandon Sanderson
Ah, that's a good question. 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 Thugs?
It would work similarly, but it really wouldn't have a huge effect on them.
Kurkistan
Alright, because 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
In the wedding scene, Wax thinks 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 Bloodmakers.
