Editing Snapping

'''Snapping''' is the process in which someone gains the powers of [[Allomancy]] on [[Scadrial]].

Snapping commonly occurs when a Misting or Mistborn undergoes heavy stress and pain, often in a near death situation, causing them to trigger latent Allomantic abilities. 

Children of confirmed noble bloodlines often underwent a planned beating as a test to see if they snapped. Later, however, the mists caused sickness in people, triggering their own snapping, this process was started by Preservation, but was manipulated by Ruin in to killing people, thus raising superstitions about the mists being dangerous.

The length a person has "mist sickness" relates to their Allomantic powers and abilities.

After the [[Final Ascension]], [[Harmony]] was disturbed by the process of Snapping and altered the way it operated, but it is not clear how Snapping works now.{{ref|?|704|26|Twitter Tor Chat (Cosmere)}}

-Snapping commonly occurs when a Misting or Mistborn undergoes heavy stress and pain, often in a near-death situation, causing them to trigger latent Allomantic abilities. According to [[Realmatic Theory]], this creates a crack on the soul which the power can fit into. There are some similarities to this in other magic systems, such as the [[Knights Radiant]] all being "broken" as indicated by [[Syl]].{{wob ref|5469}}{{book ref|sa2|68}}
