→‎Allomantic Metals: Removed speculative paragraph based on what I see to be a misinterpretation of a WoB. Shardblades are heavily invested, yes, and not being connected to that investiture means it cannot be burned. That does not mean that Mistborn can only burn God Metals related to Allomancy. Mistborn can also not burn Metalminds, another invested object, for example.

God Metals 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]]. 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}}
 
Mistborn can only burn the God Metals to which their Investiture is tied.{{wob ref|4205}} Therefore, it is likely that they can only burn lerasium, atium, and, theoretically, [[harmonium]].
 
The Allomantic effects of metals are most similar to the effects of [[fabrial]]s on [[Roshar]].
