Allomantic metals are the [[focus]], but not the source, of Allomancy's power.{{wob ref\|7708}} When an Allomancer burns a metal, that metal's specific molecular structure acts as a conduit to Preservation, and then the Allomancer is granted an ability corresponding to the metal, allowing the metal to "focus" Preservation's power to the user. Each metal is the only way a mortal can access Preservation and the power of creation,{{wob ref\|6072}} after which it is vaporized.{{wob ref\|10097}} However, this is only true for the base sixteen Allomantic metals and not god metals or their alloys. Allomancers feel a reserve of power in their stomach when they have ingested a metal they can burn. The metals are usually ingested by drinking specifically prepared metal vials, which contain metal flakes suspended in an alcohol solution or other such liquid, i.e.g. cod oil. While swallowing metal is the most common way of getting metal into the body, other ways such as injecting or snorting will also work.{{wob ref\|13947}} When using their powers, many Allomancers describe a warm feeling in the stomach, hence the term "burning metal". An Allomancer can also burn their metals at an accelerated rate, which is called "flaring." Flaring grants more power, but the reserve of metals depletes much faster, too.{{book ref\|mb1\|7}} Allomancers can burn metals from any [[Shardworld]].{{wob ref\|12692}} Advanced Allomancy can be combined with Feruchemy to gain faster-than-light travel.{{wob ref\|4697}} It is possible to use Allomancy in the Cognitive Realm.{{wob ref\|1835}}
