Difference between revisions of "Allomancy"

{{anchor|Mistings}} An Allomancer will either be able to burn a single metal--who are called '''Mistings'''--or they will be able to burn every metal--the '''Mistborn'''. There is no natural way for a person to have, say, exactly two powers. It is either one or all of them. Each type of Misting was given a particular name depending on their ability, such as Lurcher, Coinshot, or Soother.

 

Allomancers who flare their metal intensely for extended periods of time may be physiologically altered by the constant influx of Allomantic power. These people are known as Allomantic '''savants'''. These people experience heightened ability with, and heightened dependence upon, whatever metal they are burning in such a manner. Under most circumstances, this was considered irreversibly damaging.
