The Allomantic symbol for nicrosil

Nicrosil is the external enhancement pulling 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 an unknown quality.

Allomantic Use

A nicrosil Misting is known as a Nicroburst. An Allomancer burning nicrosil and touching another Allomancer will cause the latter's reserves of the metals they are currently burning to disappear and give a huge burst of power. This can cause issues with metals such as tin, where the mental overload can cause unconsciousness.
