The '''Metallic Arts''' are the three prime manifestations of [[Investiture]] on [[Scadrial]]. They consist of [[Allomancy]], [[Feruchemy]], and [[Hemalurgy]]. All three utilize certain metal alloys and each manifest specific abilities in the user (namely, metal is not the source of their power, but metal is their
== Mechanics ==
The Metallic Arts can be analyzed in terms of the Scadrian [[Shard]]s, [[Ruin]] and [[Preservation]]. Allomancy is of Preservation and is End-Positive. Instead of Allomancy drawing power from the user, metal acts as a catalyst, and draws power from Preservation itself. [[Hemalurgy]] is of Ruin, and is End-Negative. By taking abilities from one person and giving them to another, in reduced amounts, power is actually lost. Finally, [[Feruchemy]] is the power of balance, and is both of Ruin and Preservation. It is End-Neutral, as there is neither a gain or loss in energy, simply storing the power for later use.
It is possible to use molten metal for the metallic arts, but the Investiture would be affected.{{wob ref|6217}} The Metallic Arts aren't influenced by how people think about them, unlike most other magic systems.{{wob ref|5463}}{{wob ref|5468}}
All people on Scadrial have seeds of the Metallic Arts within them. However, for most of the history of Scadrial, only Feruchemy was known, and that had always been isolated to the [[Terris]] people. Allomancy existed but was very uncommon. It only came about through a mechanism constructed by Preservation, which [[Snap|Snapped]] people who had Allomantic power too deep-seated to come out naturally. Hemalurgy was even more rare, as it required extensive knowledge not easily obtained.
== Metalborn and Twinborn ==
'''Metalborn''', sometimes called ''' Metalblessed''',{{book ref|mb7|47}} refers to those who have Allomantic or Feruchemical abilities. Such label can be used to refer to those who have access to all sixteen metals,
[[Twinborn]] refers to someone who is both a Misting and a Ferring. They are extremely rare, and their Allomantic and Feruchemical powers seem to be independently determined, resulting in many interesting combinations of Investiture. Having access to both of these streams of the Metallic Arts also allows Twinborn to [[Compounding|Compound]] their Feruchemical abilities.

=== The God Metals ===
{{for|God Metal|information on all Shards God Metals}}
The '''God Metals''' are metals formed directly from a [[Shard]]. Previously only the god metals of [[Ruin]] and [[Preservation]] were known, however new god metals can be made from any Shard.{{wob ref|2530}} They can be alloyed with the lesser metals to form sixteen different metals each, though few are known. They can also be alloyed with each other.{{wob ref|11949}} Besides having an Allomantic, a Feruchemical, and a Hemalurgic property, each god metal can also do something else.{{wob ref|6082}} It seems of some importance that in the Wax and Wayne series it says that atium is no longer 'commonly' available. The vessel of the Shard can slightly change the properties of its god metal over time, but not the main functions of what it does.{{wob ref|2554}}▼
