Difference between revisions of "Allomancy"

m
After the [[Final Empire]], Terris and nobles began to interbreed, so it became possible for their descendants to have one Allomantic ability and one [[Feruchemy|Feruchemical]] ability. People with such powers were called '''[[Twinborn]]'''. Like Mistings, Twinborn were each given a name depending on their specific combination of abilities.
 
A special type of Twinborn is a '''[[Compounding|Compounder]]''' -- a Twinborn who has the same metal for both their Allomantic and Feruchemical abilities. A Compounder can Allomantically burn their Feruchemically charged metalmind, gaining a massive burst of the stored Feruchemical attribute. Compounders were considered immensely powerful. Though the term "Compounding" first appeared in Scadrian lexiconvocabulary ''after'' the Final Empire, perhaps the most famous Compounder was the [[Lord Ruler]] himself -- Compounding was one reason he was so strong.
