In the [[Final Empire]], children of confirmed noble bloodlines often undergo a planned beating as a test to see if they Snap, as Snapping commonly occurs when a Misting or Mistborn undergoes heavy stress and pain, often in a near-death situation, causing them to trigger latent Allomantic abilities.
According to [[Realmatic Theory]], this creates a crack on the soul which the power can fit into. There are some similarities on this to other magic systems, such as the [[Knights Radiant]] all being "broken" as indicated by [[Syl]].{{wob ref|5469}}{{book ref|sa2|68}}
It was possible for Allomancers to Snap from intense positive emotion, but this is much less common.{{wob ref|8025}} It is also possible to Snap from false emotions, caused by Soothing and Rioting.{{wob ref|3871}} It was said that the more powerful the Allomancer, the more intense the trauma had to be to Snap.{{wob ref|7526}}
