An aluminum [[Misting]] is known as an '''Aluminum Gnat'''. Burning aluminum causes the body to instantly metabolize its metal reserves without any other effect.{{wob ref|2461}} As such, an Aluminum Gnat gains no useable powers from their Allomancy,{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} however, it can be used to negate effects of other Investiture, such as

During the expedition to Aimia, [[Rushu]] is tasked by [[Navani]] to experiment with aluminum and discover the details of its impact on fabrials. She first notes that the thickness of the metal may impact its effect on fabrial operation (e.g. block vs modify).{{book ref|sa3.5|7}} After tinkering with a spanreed and aluminum foil, [[Huio]] theorizes that the spren react to aluminum "almost like prey react to a predator" and that it interferes with the spren's ability to sense thoughts.{{book ref|sa3.5|7}} [[Rushu]] further theorizes that each axis of motion and rotation could be blocked separately by proper application of aluminum. It is likely that other types of fabrials (i.e. heating fabrials) could be modified similarly.
