Thenacho413 (talk | contribs) (→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.) |

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.
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]], the last of which could only be burned theoretically, as it explodes upon contact with liquids.{{cite}} 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}}
The Allomantic effects of metals are most similar to the effects of [[fabrial]]s on [[Roshar]].
