After the [[Final Empire]], Terris and those of noble descent began to interbreed, so it became possible for their descendants to have one Allomantic ability and one [[Feruchemy|Feruchemical]] ability. People with such powers were called '''[[Twinborn]]'''. Like Mistings, Twinborn were each given a name depending on their specific combination of abilities.{{book ref|mb4|1}} The interaction between the two abilities creates a new, secondary effect, known as a [[Resonance]].{{book ref|mb5|part=ars}}
 
A '''[[Compounding|Compounder]]''' is a special type of Twinborn--theya useperson who uses the same metal for both their Allomantic and Feruchemical abilities. A Compounder can Allomantically burn their Feruchemically charged metalmind, gaining a massive burst of the stored Feruchemical attribute. Compounders were considered immensely powerful. Though the term "Compounding" first appeared in Scadrian vocabulary ''after'' the Final Empire, perhaps the most famous Compounder was the [[Lord Ruler]] himself--by constantly Compounding atium, pewter, and gold, he was eternally young, supernaturally strong, and basically unkillable.
