Through their ability to burn all known allomantic metals the Mistborn are regarded as mythical and regarded highly by both skaa and noble. During the reign of the [[Lord Ruler]] the noble houses power was determined strongly by the amount of Mistings and Mistborn at their disposal. During this time Mistborn wore a tastled [[Mistcloak]] that was more silent then regular clothing, with the tastles losely attached so they could not be used to grab during combat.
 
As proven by [[Vin]] and [[Zane]] a single Mistborn was enough to destroykill whole groups of mistings and small armies. Although the 4 basic metals ([[Steel]], [[Iron]], [[Tin]] and [[Pewter]]) where enough to accomplish these goals. Their are 2 metals that make a Mistborn especially lethal and able to overthrow citieslarge armies and destroy buildings.
 
[[Duralumin]] enhances the intensity of the metals that are being burned. Although flaring ones metals accomplish a similar effect, duralumin many folds the effect of burned metal at the cost of its full reserve that get burned away in mere seconds. Vin is known to be able to destroy buildings and kill armed horsemen by just using a duralumin powered steel push without the real need for a counter weight.
 
The god metal [[Atium]] when burned provides a Mistborn with insight in the near future. Being able to flawlessly predict when and where to block and strike. Beside giving the Mistborn a feeling of being 'god like' because they feel untouchable, it takes far less energy, concentration and metals to accomplish a task as they are always executed perfectly under the influence of Atium. Unless negated by Atium en Electrum a Mistborn burning Atium is neigh unbeatable.
