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 ''God Metals'', and alloys of them.

'''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, MistbornsMistborn and full Feruchemists, as well as Mistings and Ferrings, who can only access a single power. [[Kandra]] are also considered to be Metalborn.{{book ref|mb6|4}}{{wob ref|8654}} [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgists]] are not included under this term as Hemalurgy is not an inborn ability. The useage of Metalborn as a label did not seem to appear until after the [[Catacendre]], which may be a result of the Lord Ruler suppressing knowledge of Feruchemy during the time of the [[Final Empire]].
 
[[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.

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. Harmonium burns "with a pure whiteness"{{book ref|mb6|22}} when used in Southern Scadrian machinery, and explodes when it is exposed to water (similar to the [[Wikipedia: Alkali metal|alkali metals]]) making it dangerous if not impossible to ingest for allomantic purposes. Unlike alkali metal reactions, this reaction does not yield a "Harmonium oxide," but it will yield "something else relevant to the [[cosmere]]." Harmonium's atomic structure is that of a single element, rather than a compound or alloy.{{wob ref|1663}}
 
=== TrelliumBavadinium ===
[[Trellium]]Also isknown the uncanonical name for the unknown metal seen inas [[Shadows of SelfTrellium]]. 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 Feruchemical properties are unknown. It can be used Hemalurgically to steal some, if not all, Allomantic and/or Feruchemical 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}}
