'''Aluminum''' is the internal enhancement pulling metal. An Allomancer burning aluminum will make all of his metal reserves vanish.{{book ref|mb2|5}} Feruchemists can use aluminum to store identity, and when used as a Hemalurgic spike, aluminum steals enhancement Allomancy. It is known as '''Ralkalest''' in the [[Rose Empire]] on [[Sel]].{{17s ref|post|340602|text=(...) Ralkalest is definitely aluminum (...)|date=Oct 13th 2015}}

Aluminum metal (and some of its alloys) are "Allomantically inert" - they cannot be Pushed or Pulled, and can shield people from emotional Allomancy.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} Aluminum generates no [[atium|atium shadows]].{{qa ref|1076|11|The aluminum would not give an atium shadow.|date=March 6th, 2014}} It also interferes with [[Gold#Feruchemical Use|Feruchemical healing]], by making it impossible for wounds to heal around the aluminium until it is removed from the body. There is a similar effect on [[Pewter#Allomantic Use|pewter Allomancy]].{{qa ref|1049|3|the wound would not be able to heal around the aluminum, but once the aluminum came out, and was gone from the system, they would be okay.|date=March 1st, 2014}}

Aluminum has been confirmed to have strange effects to all magic systems, is magically inert, and will act as an [[Investiture]] sink.{{qa ref|1052|79|Aluminum has some weird properties on all of the magic systems, not just Allomancy|date=Mar 21st, 2014}}{{17s ref|post|340620|text=Aluminum is apparently magically inert and it can also act as a sink for Investiture.|date=Oct 13th 2015}}

A aluminum [[Misting]] is known as an '''Aluminum Gnat'''. Burning aluminum causes the body to instantly metabolize its metal reserves without any other effect. As such, an aluminum Misting serves no purpose and gains nothing from their powers.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} Since aluminum can shield against emotional Allomancy, those who can afford to often wear [[Wikipedia:Tin foil hat|hats]] with aluminum lining.{{book ref|mb5|1}}

An Allomancer would be able to heal from the withering inflicted by a [[Shade]] by burning aluminium.{{17s ref|post|341242|text=I would say if you burned aluminum, that would kind of have the effect that you are wanting it to have, which is the negating and sucking out, so it's probably safer.|date=Oct 14th 2015}}

It may be possible for an aluminium savant to cleanse their spirit of unwanted effects of Investiture.{{qa ref|977|176|However, on the extreme end of aluminum, I have in the notes the possibility of cleansing the spirit of unwanted effects of other investitures.|date=Sep, 2012}}

{{icon|aluminum|f|150px|right|thumb|The Feruchemical symbol for aluminum}}

An aluminum [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Trueself'''. Aluminum is used to store "spiritual sense of identity." This ability is not fully understood, and is rarely discussed outside of Terris communities.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} A [[Feruchemist]] who fills an aluminummind to the point where they have no identity and then fills another metalmind is able produce a metalmind that anyone can use. In a similar manner, a [[Feruchemist]] may be able to tap another person's metalminds by filling their own aluminummind completely.{{book ref|mb6|3}}

===Mistborn Adventure Game===

In the [[Mistborn Adventure Game]], aluminum stores "personal identity". While a Feruchemist is filling their aluminummind they become, "bland, indecisive, mildly forgettable, and emotionally pliable -- essentially, less defined and distinct as an individual," and their "tastes, opinions, loyalties, and the like," become, "much more flexible." When a Feruchemist taps their aluminummind they become "a more fully realized version of [themselves], reinforcing deeply-held convictions and allegiances, and dramatically boosting self-worth. The Feruchemist becomes resistant to brainwashing and manipulation, including Allomancy, Feruchemy, and [[Hemalurgy]] that influences [their] emotions." The Feruchemist also experiences a boost in confidence and recovers from mental hardships sooner.

The Feruchemist also has the effects of the world on their personality undone. Tapping an aluminummind reverts their personality to as it was at some point in the past.

Some Feruchemists will store memories in a coppermind before tapping their aluminimminds to gain a whole new perspective on those memories.

When used as a Hemalurgic spike, aluminum steals enhancement Allomantic powers.

Guns and bullets made from aluminum are highly effective (albeit expensive) because they cannot be Pushed or Pulled. Aluminum bullets are actually composed of an allomantically inert alloy of aluminum since the ballistics of a pure aluminum bullet would not work.{{book ref|mb4|7}}

== Forgery ==

Known as Ralkalest in the Rose Empire, aluminum cannot be altered at all via [[Forgery]].{{book ref|tes|day|2}}

The cells for Forgers in the [[Rose Palace]] have ralkalest grates in their ceilings for entrance and a thin plate of ralkalest behind the stone walls.{{book ref|tes|day|2}}

== Nalthis ==

Aluminium cannot be [[Awakening|Awakened]]. It is possible for aluminium to prevent someone from [[Returned|Returning]], but it cannot be achieved with simple methods such as stabbing them.{{17s ref|post|340620|text=Aluminum can prevent a Nalthian from Returning, but it's not as simple as stabbing one.|date=Oct 13th 2015}}
