When a [[Metalborn]] has an Allomantic and Feruchemical ability in the same metal, they may store an attribute inside the metalmind, then Allomantically burn the power. This gives a supercharged burst of the Feruchemical attribute.
The [[Lord Ruler]] used this ability extensively, as he was both [[Allomancy#Mistborn|Mistborn]] and a full [[Feruchemist]], so he could Compound in every metal. He stored and burned age in [[atium]] to effectively live forever, and also used gold to heal very rapidly, leading to rumors that he survived flaying and decapitation. [[Miles Dagouter]] used gold Compounding to heal almost infinitely, hence his nickname, Miles Hundredlives.
During the [[Final Empire]], [[Steel Inquisitor]]s did not Compound, though it was sometimes possible for them to figure it out. Compounding was the reason the Lord Ruler persecuted Feruchemists so extensively--he did not want Feruchemists to mix with Allomancers and create more Compounders.
