'''Nicrosil''' is the external enhancement pushing metal. An Allomancer burning nicrosil is able to enhance the effects of another Allomancer's powers. Feruchemists can use nicrosil to store Investiture, and when used as a Hemalurgic spike, nicrosil steals Investiture. While the exact composition of Allomantic or Feruchemical nicrosil is unknown, real-world nicrosil is an alloy primarily of nickel, with some [[chromium]] and a small amount of silicon.
==Allomantic Use==
A nicrosil [[Misting]] is known as a '''Nicroburst'''. A Nicroburst burning nicrosil and touching another Allomancer will cause the latter's reserves of the metals that are currently burning to disappear and give a huge burst of power to the recipient.{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} This can cause issues with metals such as [[tin]], where the mental overload can cause unconsciousness.
==Feruchemical Use==
A nicrosil [[Ferring]] is known as a '''Soulbearer'''. Nicrosil is used to store [[Investiture]]. This ability is not understood (even by those who utilize it).{{book ref|aol|part=ars}} A Soulbearer storing Investiture stores their ability to use their Investiture. Therefore, a Soulbearer could store their ability to use Feruchemy and another person tapping it would be turned into a temporary Feruchemist who has the ability to fill a metalmind (assuming the nicrosilmind was [[Aluminum|unsealed]]).{{book ref|mb6|21}} Among other things, a nicrosilmind can be used to store the Divine [[Breath]] of the [[Returned]] and the ability to use various [[surge]]s of the [[Knights Radiant]].{{wob ref|3236}} Filling a nicrosilmind as fast as possible hides a person from an [[Awakener]]'s life sense.{{wob ref|4771}}
=== Compounding ===
A nicrosil [[Compounding|Compounder]] would be able to use nicrosil to have a nearly infinite supply of stored Investiture.{{wob ref|4067}}
==Hemalurgic Use==
When used as a Hemalurgic spike, nicrosil steals [[Investiture]].{{file ref| Hemalurgy table.jpg | Hemalurgy Table}}
== Trvia ==
* In the [[Mistborn Adventure Game]] nicrosil can be used to convert between forms of [[Investiture]]. This allows for a [[Feruchemist]] to convert between what is stored in their [[metalmind]]s (i.e. converting the mental speed in a zincmind into the strength in a pewtermind).
