Difference between revisions of "Nicrosil"

'''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. It is the paired alloy of [[chromium]] in the Metallic Arts. 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.

A Nicroburst can also boost other forms of Investiture, such as [[Feruchemy]], but only when athe Feruchemist is tapping their metalmind.{{wob ref|15240}}

When used as a Hemalurgic spike, nicrosil steals [[Investiture]].{{file ref|Hemalurgy table.jpg|Hemalurgy Table}} This does not steal powers—the ability to use Invested Arts like Allomancy or [[sand mastery]]—but rather general Investiture, such as a piece of a person's soul or [[BioChromatic Breath]]s.{{book ref|mb7|47}}{{wob ref|14896}}

* In the [[Mistborn Adventure Game]] nicrosil can be used to convert between forms of [[Investiture]]. This allows for a [[Feruchemist]] to convert between what isattributes stored in their [[metalmind]]s (i.e. converting the mental speed in a zincmind into the strength in a pewtermind).
