+ | A duralumin [[Misting]] is known as a '''Duralumin Gnat'''. An Allomancer burning duralumin instantly uses up any metals being burned simultaneously, releasing an enormous burst of power from those metals. Duralumin itself is not completely consumed like metals it is burned in concert with, but it still continues to burn away at a steady rate.{{book ref|woa|5}}{{book ref|woa|8}} A Duralumin Gnat gains nothing from their powers.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} |

+ | The use of duralumin could seriously hurt a [[Mistborn]]. While burning [[tin]], the Mistborn could be shocked by the sensory overload as well as become temporarily numb, blind, and deaf. A [[Steel|Push]] or [[Iron|Pull]] could become so strong it can feel like the Mistborn is being torn apart.{{book ref|mb2|8}}{{book ref|mb2|11}} When using duralumin, mistborn usually burn pewter along with tin/iron/steel to avoid injuries. |

− | When combined with emotional Allomancy, duralumin allows Allomancers to "break into" and gain control of Hemalurgic constructs such as kandra and koloss, even if they would not normally have enough raw power to do so.{{book ref|mb2|40}}{{book ref|mb2|54}} |

+ | A duralumin [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Connector'''. Duralumin is used to store Spiritual [[Connection]]. For example, filling a duraluminmind can be used to reduce other people's awareness and friendship of the Connector, as these Spiritual Connections become stored away.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} |
+ | Tapping the metalmind will allow the Connector to form stronger Connections, possibly depending on what Connections was stored. It can allow Connectors to form trust relationships with others much faster, for example. |
||
− | [[Southern Scadrian]]s use [[unsealed metalminds|unsealed]] duraluminminds to enable them to communicate with others on foreign lands.{{book ref|mb6|22}} They still retain their native accent when doing so,{{book ref|mb6|22}} though someone could develop a local accent by blanking their [[Identity]].{{wob ref|2558}} This ability can be used on other planets, though it does not grant the ability to travel between worlds.{{wob ref|1021}} Tapping a duraluminmind would also allow someone to overcome the location restriction on [[Sel]]ish Invested Arts; for example, an [[Elantrian]] could use [[Aon]]s at full power regardless of location, though there are also easier ways to achieve this.{{wob ref|12895}} It could also allow a person to become a squire to multiple Orders of [[Knights Radiant]], though there are, again, easier ways.{{wob ref|12917}} |

− | A duraluminmind would be able to interpret [[rhythm]]s, albeit not very accurately.{{wob ref|753}} |
||
+ | Duralumin Feruchemy can also change one's Spiritual Connection to a planet, which can help [[worldhopper]]s with magic systems. Connectors do not have the inherent ability to worldhop, however.{{wob ref|1021}} Tapping a duraluminmind on a [[Shardworld]] other than [[Sel]] would prevent a Connector from using Selish magic.{{wob ref|2560}} |

||
− | A duralumin [[Compounding|Compounder]] would be able to use duralumin to have a nearly infinite supply of Spiritual Connection. The Compounder would be able to put a [[Hemalurgic]] creature under complete control, similar to what [[brass|Soothers]] and [[zinc|Rioters]] can do.{{wob ref|10524}} |

+ | During the [[Final Empire]], the [[Lord Ruler]] kept [[aluminum]] and it's alloy duralumin from public knowledge to give the [[Inquisitors]] an advantage.{{ref|name=a-mb3-74}} Another reason why aluminum and duralunin were unknown to people is that refining aluminum requires advanced technology of electrolysis. Without the ability, the Lord Ruler acquired small amounts of the metal from ashmounts. |

+ | [[Vin]], having been fed aluminum by the Inquisitors, figured there should be an alloy for it, too.{{cite}} She tested out various alloys of aluminum despite the risk, and discovered only one alloy which doesn't cause sickness, but also generates no effect when burned. While sparring with [[Zane]], Vin was stunned to find out the effect of duralumin. She kept the secret to few and later this granted her a significant advantage. |
⚫ | |||
− | She carefully kept the secret of duralumin and used it to great advantage on several occasions later in combination with both physical{{book ref|mb2|11}}{{book ref|mb2|38}}{{book ref|mb2|43}}{{book ref|mb2|55}}{{book ref|mb2|57}} and mental{{book ref|mb2|20}}{{book ref|mb2|27}} Allomancy. [[TenSoon]] and Zane eventually found out about duralumin, however, allowing Zane to use it against her.{{book ref|mb2|47}} |
||
⚫ | |||
− | |||
− | Duralumin became Allomantically useless in practice over the centuries after the [[Catacendre]] due to the fading away of Mistborn, though the Southern Scadrians made Feruchemical use of it in their unsealed metalminds. Duralumin's great power has essentially faded into myth. It is primarily associated with the Ascendent Warrior, and only recognized as a thing of scripture.{{book ref|mb7|23}}{{book ref|mb7|25}} |
||
− | |||
− | However, knowledge of it was not lost even in the North; it eventually became commonplace with the development of the right metallurgical processes,{{book ref|mb6|3}}{{book ref|mb6|22}}{{book ref|mb7|23}} and once the [[Set]] began working with Hemalurgy, it became relevant again to specific people. The Set gave [[Dumad]] a spike for duralumin Allomancy, which he used effectively in combination with Steelpushing.{{book ref|mb7|23}}{{book ref|mb7|25}} |
||
− | |||
− | After Dumad's death, [[Wax]] used the spike on himself and used his newly duralumin-enhanced Steelpushing to reach the [[Pewternaut]] A16.{{book ref|mb7|66}}{{book ref|mb7|69}} [[Wayne]] then became Mistborn by burning [[lerasium]] and used duralumin with [[bendalloy]] in order to prematurely detonate the bomb on board the ship, which required precise timing that would have been impossible to achieve otherwise.{{book ref|mb7|71}} |
