===LarasiumLerasium (Internal)===
[[LarasiumLerasium]] is greenish metallic bead that allows the burner (which can be anyone) to become a Mistborn, allowing them access to all of the Allomantic metals. These beads are the source of all Mistborn, and this trait ends up being genetic, whereby the descendants of a Mistborn have a chance of becoming either a Mistborn or a Misting without the need of burning LarasiumLerasium. These descendants are not born with the ability of Allomancy, and will show no signs until some traumatic event causes them to 'snap' there by allowing them the ability to burn allomantic metals.
Pure LarasiumLerasium when ingested will turn the user into a Mistborn, where as LarasiumLerasium that is alloyed with one of the other 16 Allomantic metals will turn the user into a Misting of the metal used to alloy. Sanderson has stated in the annotations to the novels that this is not the 'primary' use of LarasiumLerasium, and that it would have an entirely different effect if burned by a Mistborn.
LarasiumLerasium is not actually one of the 16 Allomantic metals, though it is clearly related. In ''[[Mistborn: The Hero of Ages]]'' it is revealed that these beads are actually parts of the god Preservation's "body".
