|There are two metals for every power. One Pushes, one Pulls--the second is usually an alloy of the first. For emotions--the external mental powers--you Pull with [[zinc]] and Push with [[brass]]. You just used pewter to Push your body. That's one of the internal physical powers.

There are sixteen basic Allomantic metals. The metals come in pairs: one metal is a periodic element, while the other is the alloy of that base metal. These pairs have complementary effects. [[Iron]] Pulls on nearby metals, while its alloy, [[steel]], Pushes on metals. Similarly, each elemental metal is classified as a "Pulling" ability, whereas each alloy is classified as a "Pushing" ability.{{wob ref|2478}} The purity of the metal corresponds to its effectiveness and alloys require precise compound percentages for maximum power. Burning an impure alloy may cause sickness,{{book ref|mb1|7}} while metals that are not Allomantically viable cannot be burned after being ingested.{{wob ref|13503}}
 
In addition to Pulling and Pushing classifications, there are external and internal metals. External powers influence things outside an Allomancer's body, while internal powers influence the Allomancer. This naturally divides the sixteen Allomantic metals into four groups of four metals each: physical, mental, temporal, and enhancement powers. Each quadrant has a metal and alloy pair of an external power, and another pair of internal powers.
 
The Allomantic effects of metals are most similar to the effects of [[fabrial]]s on [[Roshar]].
 
=== God Metals ===
[[God Metal]]s do not fit in the modern Allomantic Table, and Scadrians appear to only know of the metals that correspond to the Scadrian Shards; [[lerasium]], [[atium]], and [[ettmetal]], the last of which could only be burned theoretically, as it explodes upon contact with liquids.{{wob ref|9321}}{{book ref|mb6|22}} Unlike the standard Allomantic metals, which are regular metal elements and compounds, God Metals are a condensed, solid form of pure Investiture. Alloys of God Metals can lead to additional abilities.{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}}
