While learning [[Allomancy]] from [[Gemmel]], [[Kelsier]] infiltrates [[Keep Shezler]] and, after defeating the Mistborn [[Antillius Shezler]], comes across Shezler's notes theorizing about a possible eleventh Allomantic metal.{{book ref|11m}} Even after becoming [[Harmony]], [[Sazed]] could not find any prior legends about an eleventh metal and concluded that the legends were likely fabricated by [[Ruin]] to help drive Kelsier's plan to kill the [[Lord Ruler]].{{epigraph ref|mb3|24}} Between Shezler's apparent mental instability,{{book ref|11m}} which might have allowed Ruin to speak to him, and Ruin's ability to manipulate text, it is entirely plausible that Ruin could have been behind the creation of Shezler's notes. Furthermore, Gemmel, the person who directed Kelsier to Keep Shezler and drew his attention to Shezler's notes in the first place, showed signs of being manipulated by Ruin,{{book ref|11m}} suggesting that Ruin was indeed intentionally leading Kelsier to the notes. Ruin later claimed that he was in fact responsible for manipulating Kelsier into "disooveringdiscovering" the metal.{{msh ref|6|1}}
