===Mistborn===
Through their ability to burn all known allomantic metals the Mistborn are regarded as mythical and are regarded highly by both skaa and noble. During the reign of the [[Lord Ruler]] the noble houses' power was determined stronglylargely by the amountnumber of Mistings and Mistborn at their disposal. During this time, Mistborn wore a tastledtasseled [[Mistcloak]] that was more silent then regular clothing, with the tastlestassels loselyloosely attached so they could not be used to grabgrabbed during combat.
As proven by [[Vin]] and [[Zane]], a single Mistborn was enough to kill whole groups of mistingsMistings and small armies. Although the 4 basic metals ([[Steel]], [[Iron]], [[Tin]] and [[Pewter]]) wherewere enough to accomplish these goals., Theirthere are 2 metals that make a Mistborn especially lethal and able to overthrow large armies and destroy buildings.
[[Duralumin]] enhances the intensity of the metals that are being burned. Although flaring onesone's metals accomplishaccomplishes a similar, smaller effect, duralumin many foldsincreases the effect of burned metal greatly, at the cost of itsthe full reserve that getgetting burned away in mereat secondsonce. Vin is known to be able to destroy buildings and kill armed horsemen by just using a duralumin powered steel push without the real need for a counter weight.
The god metal [[Atium]], when burned, provides a Mistborn with insight ininto the near future. BeingThey are able to flawlessly predict when and where to block and strike. Beside giving the Mistborn a feeling of being 'god like,' because they feel untouchable, it takes far less energy, concentration and metals to accomplish a task as they are always executed perfectly when under the influence of Atiumatium. Unless negated by Atiumanother burning atium or [[electrum]] a Mistborn burning atium is nigh unbeatable.
