'''Nicrosil''' is the external enhancement pushing metal. An Allomancer burning nicrosil is able to enhance the effects of another Allomancer's powers.

'''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 MetallurgicAllomantic 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'''. AnA AllomancerNicroburst 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.
 
=== Boosting Investiture ===
A Nicroburst can also boost other forms of Investiture, such as [[Feruchemy]], but only when the Feruchemist is tapping their metalmind.{{wob ref|15240}}
 
==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 personSoulbearer storing Investiture stores their ability to use their Investiture. Therefore, a FeruchemistSoulbearer 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 [[AluminumFeruchemy#Unkeyed Metalminds|unsealedunkeyed]]).{{book ref|mb6|21}} Among other things, a nicrosilmind can be used to store the Divine[[divine Breath]] of the [[Returned]] and the ability to use various surges[[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}}

===Mistborn AdventureCompounding Game===
A nicrosil [[Compounding|Compounder]] would be able to use nicrosil to have a nearly infinite supply of stored Investiture.{{wob ref|4067}}
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).
 
==Hemalurgic Use==
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}}
 
If a [[Scadrian]] is stabbed with a spike Invested with stolen Investiture from another Scadrian, they may temporarily gain Allomantic powers.{{book ref|mb7|47}}
