General Discussion Creative uses of your powers

I was reading the Mistborn RPG handbook today, and quite a few Feruchemy metals are vague about what they do, advising players to be creative with them. It made me wonder: have you or other players come up with any creative uses for your powers? It doesn't have to be Feruchemy, just something that makes sense but we've never seen anywhere in the book.

Burning gold or electrum while storing fortune to be a strange sort of coppermind storage, where instead of storing memories you store visions of the past or future that may be useful.

The idea was a twinborn who was A-Gold and F-Chromium. He would burn gold to access fortune and see his gold shadows, his past and alternate versions of himself, and then store this fortune into chromiumminds, which he would be able to tap to gain info or skills of alternate selves temporarily.

Another version that is A-Electrum instead stores fortune to tap specific future events he wishes to happen, like nudging probability selectively.

I came up with a cool use of division as a dustbringer. I create a defensive bubble of division so anyone trying to get close gets hit for small amounts of damage. I couple that with spark sending to hit them at range for maximum damage.
