'''Aluminum''' is the internal enhancement pulling metal. An [[Allomancy|Allomancer]] burning aluminum will make all of their metal reserves vanish.{{book ref|mb2|5}} [[Feruchemist]]s can use aluminum to store [[Identity]], and when used as a [[Hemalurgic]] spike, aluminum removes all powers. It is known as '''Ralkalest''' or '''the unForgeable metal''' in the [[Rose Empire]] on [[Sel]]{{wob ref|6364}} as well as among [[singers]].{{book ref|sa4|37}}

Aluminum has been confirmed to have strange effects to all magic systems, is magically inert, and will act as an [[Investiture]] sink.{{wob ref|7942}}

Highmarshal Azure was given metal sheets by [[Wit]] during her time in Kholinar that were possibly aluminum. When lining a room, they allowed for the use of Soulcasting [[fabrial]]s without detection by the [[Voidspren]].{{book ref|sa3|81}}

This experimentation accidentally resulted in a series of modified fabrials in which the mechanism contained bits of aluminum foil that blocked certain functions, but not all. Among these were a spanreed that transferred lateral motion, but not vertical; a lift to permit [[Rysn]] to move between decks of the ''[[Wandersail (1174 ship)|Wandersail]]'' and a number of "wheelchair" fabrials which levitated and permitted [[Rysn]] to maneuver while seated using a partially aluminum-blocked counterweight.{{book ref|sa3.5|9}} These are particularly useful due to a known drawback of motion-transferring fabrials caused by a moving frame of reference (e.g. a moving ship at sea communicating by spanreed to shore).
