A Twinborn was a Metalborn with one Allomantic power and one Feruchemical power.

Notable Twinborn included Waxillium Ladrian, Wayne, and Miles Dagouter.

Twinborn only began to appear after the Final Ascension, due to the intermingling of the Terris people with the others. This mingling also had the effect of diluting Feruchemical power, creating Ferrings. The interaction of Feruchemy and Allomancy in a single person allows for both practical benefits of the power (Bloodmakers healing in a time bubble, Coinshots augmenting their weight with Feruchemical iron) and a more involved process called Compounding.
