(Revised opening! Step one of ten thousand of improving this article)
After the [[Final Empire]], Allomancy began mixing with [[Feruchemy]]. People who had one Allomantic ability and one Feruchemical ability were called '''[[Twinborn]]'''. Like Mistings, Twinborn were each given a name depending on their specific combination of abilities.
 
A special type of Twinborn is a '''[[Compounding|Compounder]]'''--a Twinborn who has the same metal for both their Allomantic and Feruchemical abilities. A Compounder can Allomantically burn their Feruchemically charged metalmind, and in the process the Compounder gains a massive burst of the stored Feruchemical attribute. Compounders were considered immensely powerful. Though the term "Compounding" appeared in Scadrian lexicon after the Final Empire, perhaps the most famous Compounder was the [[Lord Ruler]] himself--Compounding was one reason he was so strong.
