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 alloy of these. ▼

== Summary of the Metallic Arts ==
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
Later, after the [[Final Ascension]] by [[Harmony]], Mistborn became unheard of as Allomancy's power continued to degrade. The Terris people also interbred with the survivors of the [[Final Empire]], which combined with the slaughter of all living Feruchemists at the time left Feruchemy also diluted, and so Ferrings began to appear.

=== The 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. 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}}

After contact with the [[Southern Scadrian]]s, a new metal is revealed. Called "[[Ettmetal]]" in their native tongue, the Southern Peoples use it to power their technology.
=== 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]] 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}}
