Difference between revisions of "Vin"

Convinced of the need to find the Well of Ascension, Vin and Elend leave Luthadel, and head towards the [[Terris Dominance]] in hope of finding the [[Well of Ascension]]. Some time after their departure, the [[koloss]] army attacks [[Luthadel]]. Vin realises that the Well is located under Kredik Shaw, and returns to find the [[Battle of Luthadel]] under way. She utilises a [[duralumin]]-enhanced [[steel]] jump to kill [[Straff Venture]] via bisection with a [[koloss blades|koloss blade]], and stops the koloss assault on the city by controlling them through emotional Allomancy.

 

==== The Well of Ascension ====

She finds the Well of Ascension beneath Kredik Shaw in the aftermath of the battle. Once they enter the Well's chamber, the [[Preservation|mist spirit]] attacks Elend -- it's hand forced by Kelsier -- fatally stabbing him in the hope that Vin would use the power to save him. Despite Preservation's best attempts to prepare Vin to take up the power, and Kelsier's attempt force her to use it, Vin enters the Well and, encouraged by Ruin's tricks, gives up the power in the belief that it is the best choice, thus inadvertently releasing [[Ruin]] from his prison as he had been manipulating her to do. Preservation shows Vin the final bead of [[lerasium]] in the chamber in order to allow her to save Elend by feeding him the bead and transforming him into a Mistborn.{{book ref|mb2|58}}{{book ref|mb2|epilogue}}{{msh ref|2|3}}
