The metals themselves changed over time. Brandon had been misled by employees of a hobby shop in his childhood that pewter was an alloy of silver, so in the original draft of Mistborn, silver and pewter were paired, and he named silver Mistings Silvereyes. When he realized the factual error, he was forced to change it to tin and Tineye.{{wob ref|2391}} Brandon always thought Silvereye sounded much "slicker" than Tineye. And so silver just happened to not have any Allomantic effect in the final form of Allomancy.
After the original trilogy and Brandon's reveal that atium and malatium did not belong on the true Table of Allomantic Metals, Brandon chose the true external temporal metal to be cadmium, as it was particularly dangerous and hard to acquire, so it made sense that only Scadrians with the technology after the Final Ascension could discover it.{{wob ref|4883}} Brandon originally had cadmium's alloy named cerrobend,{{url ref|url=https://mistborn.livejournal.com/111534.html|text=Poster Near Final Version|site=Brandon's LiveJournal|date=2008-12-12}} but that name happened to be trademarked, so Brandon was forced to change it to the generic word, bendalloy. The error was present on an early version of the Table of Allomantic Metals.{{url ref|url=https://mistborn.livejournal.com/111534.html?thread=714158#t714158|text=Thread on "Poster Near Final Version"|site=Brandon's LiveJournal|date=2008-12-12}}{{url ref|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100107231629/https://www.brandonsanderson.com/graphics/mb_table_v13.jpg|text=MB Table v13|site=Brandon's website|date=2008-12-12}}
