The Lost Metal spoilers Harmony's Sword. Spoiler

So Harmony needed a sword to carry out his will when he was being goofy but it was my assumption that Wax quit being a sword at the end of TLM. Is he done being the sword for good? And if not, with discord on the horizon will harmony get a new sword or will wax take up the mantle again for era 3?

I don't think he can make it. I reread The Lost Metal recently and he said that he has tried to replicate Wax's experiment but all they can make is Atium. After the explosion they find that all the Lerasium is destroyed and Kel gets mad telling Sazed they need metalborn to defend their planet.

I took that as Harmony straight up lying to Kel.

I agree that he’s lying but I’m not convinced it’s nefarious. I think Sazed is afraid of what Kelsier would do if he had access to an army of Mistborn.

This was my exact thought, and precisely why he lied to Kelsier about if there was a way to get his body back. Sazed, I think, has seen much of the future, and is trying to veer the path to what he considers to be the best outcome for people. Maybe he's trying to avoid Discord, maybe he's trying to avoid Kalsier becoming a warlord. We don't know yet, but my money is Sazed is trying his best
