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. For example, the external physical powers are iron and steel, while the internal physical powers are [[tin]]--which enhances the Allomancer's senses--and [[pewter]]--which enhances the Allomancer's physical attributes.
 
There are also twofour "God Metals", [[lerasium]], [[atium]], [[Ettmetal]], and the [[atiumunknown metal]], which do not fit in the modern Table of Allomantic Metals. Atium was famously classified as a temporal metal during the [[Final Empire]] era by the [[Steel Ministry]], but this was shown to be flawed. The God Metals are essences of the twofour [[Shard]]s thate have taken up residence on Scadrial, [[Preservation]] and, [[Ruin]], [[Sazed|Harmony]], and [Trell] and can be used to craft sixteen more alloys per God Metal{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}}. They are effectively a thing of legend during the time after the Final Empire.
