For normal people, burning lerasium forges a permanent connection between them and Preservation, turning them into very powerful Mistborn by rewriting their [[Spiritweb|spiritual DNA]].{{qawob ref|692|24|text=Lerasium as a metal anyone can burn.|date=Oct 15th, 201010116}} For people who are already Mistborn, the same effect increases their power.{{qawob ref|1109|13|text=Yes, Vin would be stronger. It is additive, not just an overwrite.|date=Jan 6th, 20151304}} However, turning people into Mistborn is only a side effect of burning lerasium; if someone who knew how to use it correctly were to burn it, it would have a different, as of yet unknown, effect.{{annotation ref|mb3|chapter=38}} Someone knowledgeable enough could use the rewrite of their spiritual DNA to achieve a different result than becoming a Mistborn.{{qawob ref|1011|16|text=It5499}}{{wob can do some interesting things, and can overwrite your Spiritual DNA in different ways if you do it right.ref|date=Mar 16th, 201211939}} Burning [[duralumin]] in conjunction with lerasium does not have any effect on the strength of the Mistborn created.{{reddit ref|books|2ytg2h|ctpntsb|text=would burning duralumin and lerasium make ultrapowerful Mistborn?|date= Aug 3rd, 2015}}{{wob ref|3618}}

If someone were able to burn the amount of lerasium needed to become an Allomantic [[savant]] with the metal, they would ascend and become the holder of [[Preservation]], similar to what happened when [[Vin]] consumed the [[mists]].{{qawob ref|977|177|text=What about a Lerasium savant? Or would that require so much lerasium that the person attempting it would ascend to become a new Vessel?|date=Sep 20121248}} This is due to the nature of the metal as the condensed power of Preservation.
