Mist is a term used to refer to a phenomenon on the world of Scadrial. While it does indeed resemble ordinary mist it exhibits many unusual properties.

Mist is one manifestation of Preservation's power and thus is closely linked to the Allomancy. It will react to any allomancer, swirling around him or her. The Mists can be pierced by an allomancer burning Tin to reveal the stars above. In special circumstances allomancers have been known to draw on the mists for power, using them as fuel for allomancy even after their ingested metals have all been burned.

The mists will not enter any building and even a simple tent is enough to keep them out.

Mist will reject anyone pierced by a hemalurgic spike.
