Undo revision 111201 by 162.158.255.92 (talk) The epigraph's are kinda unclear on this but Brandon has come down on the side that Rashek got his power from the Well instead of a bead of Lerasium so wouldn't be included in the nine
(Changed the number of beads the lord ruler gave to the kings from nine to eight. We saw the eighth being taken by Hoid in the secret history) |

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 [[focus]]). There are eight basic metals, each with an alloy, for a total of sixteen metals. In addition, there are are two pure ''God Metals'', and one known alloy of these.
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.
Then, the [[Lord Ruler]] reached the [[Well of Ascension]]. He rebuilt himself into an extremely powerful Mistborn using its power.{{wob ref|9889}} He then took
Later, after the [[Final Ascension]] by [[Harmony]], Mistborn became unheard of as Allomancy's power continued to degrade.
