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 [[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 alloyalloys of thesethem.
 
== Summary of the Metallic Arts ==
 
=== The God Metals ===
The '''God metalsMetals''' are metals formed directly from a [[Shard]]. Previously only the Godgod Metalsmetals of [[Ruin]] and [[Preservation]] were known, however new Godgod Metalsmetals can be made from any Shard.{{wob ref|2530}} They can be alloyed with the lesser metals to form sixteen different metals each, though onlyfew one isare known. 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}}

=== Trellium ===
[[Trellium]] is the uncanonical name for the unknown metal seen in [[Shadows of Self]]. It is a silvery metal with a red cast to it, and dark red spots similar to rust.{{book ref|mb5|21}}{{book ref|mb5|epilogue}} Its Allomantic and Feruchemic properties are unknown. It can be used Hemalurgically to steal some, if not all, Allomantic and/or Feruchemic abilities and grant them to Kandra.{{book ref|mb5|epilogue}} It can also be used on humans to create hemalurgic constructs.{{book ref|mb5|21}}{{wob ref|6261}} Kandra and Hemalurgic constructs with a single spike of Trellium will be hidden from Harmony.{{wob ref|6300}}
 
=== Shardblade and Shardplate ===
[[Shardblade]]s and [[Shardplate]] are both made out of a mixture of the unnamed godmetals of [[Honor]] and [[Cultivation]]. The precise proportion of the two differs depending on the type of [[spren]] that forms the Blade, or the order to which the Plate belongs; as such, there are at least ten alloys.{{wob ref|11211}}{{wob ref|11949}}{{wob ref|2541}} Like all godmetals, they are Allomantically viable, and thus burnable by a [[Allomancy|Mistborn]], although it's yet to be seen what the effects would be.{{wob ref|13315}} Presumably, they would also have Hemalurgic and Feruchemical effects.
 
=== The Dor ===
The [[Dor]] is the remnant of [[Devotion]] and [[Dominion]]'s combined powers after the Shards themselves were Splintered.{{wob ref|2787}}{{wob ref|1533}} There is a god metal that comes from the Dor.{{wob ref|13354}}
